Please replace the ??? with your data!

  • URL to the FORM: http://???
  • The browser used: ???
  • cforms version: ???
  • Your Wordpress version: ???

Happy New Year, Oliver.

I gave up with TAF, I just couldn't get it to work I'm afraid. I am now attempting another cform, the comment form.

I have customised my comment form to include an additional field, 'location'. But how do I display a user's location within within their comment? I know you say your help files are very comprehensive but I cannot for the life of me find anything on displaying this data. I'd have thought it would be a pretty straightforward line of php within my comments.php.

Please advise as this is driving me mental!

Regards
Admin

Please use the search on the forum as well, this topic has come up before.

Due to the limitation of WP, you can have additional fields in the post comment form, but you need to take care of properly storing (and later accessing) them.

The advantage of using cforms as a replacement for the default WP form is

  1. you can use anti spam measures: honey pots, Q&A or captcha
  2. you can use regular expressions and default values
  3. you can make use of fancier err msgs
  4. you can use ajax for immediate display (no page loading)

He demonboy, i have the same problem! Did you find any help here? All I found so far is this remark from Oliver:

"if you use cforms as a WP comment feature replacement, you'll end up getting regular comments in WP, no need to do anything special on that end." Seems like there are no additional fields available then in the wordpress admin section…

andi, 'i have the same problem' is the worst error description possible.

demonboy talked about TAF, is that what you're struggling with, too?

If it's the later, it has been asked several times in this forum.
