Modifiy Comments

[gman]

Can someone tell me how I can remove text from the comments popup window. I would like to make it a very simple clean comment box.


Enclosing asterisks marks text as bold (*word*), underscore are made via _word_.
Standard emoticons like and are converted to images.
E-Mail addresses will not be displayed and will only be used for E-Mail notifications

You'll need to edit your commentform.tpl template. The text that is shown there is coming from each plugin, that will instruct your visitor what information applies.

Remove this line:

Code: Select all

{serendipity_hookPlugin hook="frontend_comment" data=$commentform_entry}

But after removing that line also the captcha to prevent comment spam is gone...

Okay, I didn't know you wanted to preserve that.

Well, I'm afraid then for that to work you'll have to edit the corresponding plugin files (like serendipity_event_bbcode.php) and modify their frontend_comment hook to not echo the guidelines.

For serendipity 1.0 I've just created custom CSS classes for that, by replacing things like:

Code: Select all

                        echo '<div class="serendipity_commentDirection">' . PLUGIN_EVENT_BBCODE_TRANSFORM . '</div>';

with

Code: Select all

                        echo '<div class="serendipity_commentDirection serendipity_comment_bbcode">' . PLUGIN_EVENT_BBCODE_TRANSFORM . '</div>';

so that you can then use this CSS:

Code: Select all

.serendipity_comment_bbcode {
  display: none;
}
