Is there a way to remove HOMEPAGE from comments?

Post by khaldrogo »

Hi everybody,
Is there a way to remove the HOMEPAGE text box from the comment area? This is not necessary for my blog.
Thanks for any direction on this !!!

You could edit the commentform.tpl that is used in your theme, which is most likely templates/2k11/commentform.tpl. In there is the code that generates the homepage input field, at line 20:

Code: Select all

    <div class="form_field">
        <label for="serendipity_commentform_url">{$CONST.HOMEPAGE}{if $required_fields.url}*{/if}</label>
        <input id="serendipity_commentform_url" name="serendipity[url]" type="url" value="{$commentform_url}" placeholder="{$CONST.TWOK11_PLACE_URL}"{if $required_fields.url} required{/if}>
    </div>
Change the input from type url to hidden, like this:

Code: Select all

    <div class="form_field">
        <label for="serendipity_commentform_url">{$CONST.HOMEPAGE}{if $required_fields.url}*{/if}</label>
        <input id="serendipity_commentform_url" name="serendipity[url]" type="hidden" value="{$commentform_url}" placeholder="{$CONST.TWOK11_PLACE_URL}">
    </div>
In this example code I also removed the required attribute.
