How to make field headline optional in comments?
In old forum code was somewhere....

[V@no]

remove/comment out from details.php

Code: [Select]

    if ($comment_headline == "")  {
      $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$lang['headline_required'];
      $error = 1;
    }

And the same with field "name". I want remove it, if comment posted by guest, name will be Guest, else name will be by registered username

[V@no]

if its a statement - then yes.
if its a question, I dont see any question marks...

Jeah jeah shame on me   
That was a question, without question marks 

I`ll try one more time:
And the same with field "name". I want remove it, if comment posted by guest, name will be Guest, else name will be by registered username :

 

[V@no]

it still looks like a statement even with question mark!

try replace:

Code: [Select]

    if ($user_name == "")  {
      $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$lang['name_required'];
      $error = 1;
    }with:

Code: [Select]

    if ($user_name == "")  {
      if ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST)
      {
        $user_name = $lang['userlevel_guest'];
      }
      else
      {
        $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$lang['name_required'];
        $error = 1;
      }
    }it will show error message only if a member leaves username field blank, but will use "Guest" if guest leaves it blank.
if u dont like it that way, and want use "Guest" if anyone leaves username field blank, then use this code instead:

Code: [Select]

    if ($user_name == "")  {
      $user_name = $lang['userlevel_guest'];
    }

Question marks in 6am, I`m still sleeping! 


Is this correct? 

Code: [Select]

    if ($user_name == "")  {
      if ($user_info['user_level'] == GUEST)
      {
        $user_name = $lang['userlevel_guest'];
      }
      else
      {
        $user_name = $lang['userlevel_registered']; // is there something like that? ;]
      }
    }

Now I will be able to remove name field from template : (question) 

[V@no]

Is this correct?

yes, but make sure that $lang['userlevel_registered'] is present in your main.php language file (if not, then add it )

Now I will be able to remove name field from template : (question)

yes, it should work now.

Oh I had another code in my head, but still not thinking, morning without cofee 

If I want to use the registered user name name? What will be definition for this?

Code: [Select]

      else
      {
        $user_name = ???
      }


[V@no]

$user_info['user_name']

but I thought name being ignored if registered user post a comment...their real name is showed instead...

[universal]

Now it works like I wanted, Thanks for patience V@no

Please recheck the marked fields.
