How can I delete a homepage field from a comment form?

Hi Takaki,

As a default I think there are only 2 fields for comment: Subject and Body.
So obviously, you don't need to edit comment.module.

It seems you have may have module installed to configure the way people comment on your posts, which adds extra fields to the comments. Try to identify that module and configure it.

Hope this helped,

Long shot but I think it should work

create a node-comment.tpl.php and test it to see if it over writes the default comment node then you can code the parts of the comments that you would like to appear

run a search on google for "node-comment.tpl.php"
see if that helps

Takaki -

Were you able to remove the homepage field? If so, what approach did you use? Any details would be appreciated. I would like to do the same thing on one of my sites.

Thanks.

Once, in the last months, I've seen a generic module which gives a GUI to hook_form_alter to remove/hide fields but I don't remember it's name.

Please advise

Thanks in advance,

add the following to your template.php file

function phptemplate_comment_form($form) {
   return _phptemplate_callback('comment-form', array('form' => $form));
}

create a file called comment-form.tpl.php

<?php //comment-form.tpl.php 

  $form['homepage'] = null;
  print drupal_render($form);

?>

Hi,

I managed to do this with a custom module, in the form_alter hook:

global $user;
if (!$user->uid && $form_id == 'comment_form') 
{
    unset($form['homepage']);
}

I'm a bit of a PHP newbie so I don't know if this has any repercussions, but I think it's a bit cleaner than editing core module stuff.

Takaki, i am searching the comment module with 5 field like you said. Can you give me about the name and download link ?
I get some problem when searching , the information that i get is not specific like i need. So i am being confused about what the module name.

Thanks

I do that with css :
#edit-homepage-wrapper{
display:none;
}

it works form me!

I tried this twice http://drupal.org/node/147502#comment-286019 and it does not work with latest version of Drupal, does nothing. I really need this as I'm using the comments as a contact form for specific nodes. The homepage field is irrelevant, any ideas?

Got it to work, think I got it from this topic some where don't know but am using custom module ..

<?php
// $Id: customcomments.module

/**
* @file
* Custom functions for this site.
*/


/**
* Unset these form elements from the comment_form using hook_form_alter
*/
function customcomments_form_comment_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  unset($form['_author']);
  unset($form['_homepage']);
  unset($form['homepage']);
  unset($form['comment_filter']['comment']['#title']);
}

Copy and paste this code into your template file.

/**
* Implementation of HOOK_theme().
*/
function THEMENAME_theme() {
return array(
	'comment_form' => array(                        
      'arguments' => array('form' => NULL),
    ),
  );
}

Remember you can only have one instance of HOOK_theme in your template file so combine this with your existing one.

Then insert this piece of code below and change to your needs

// theme the comment form
function THEMENAME_comment_form($form) {
  // Make the text-area smaller.
  $form['comment_filter']['comment']['#rows']   = 5;
  // Change the text-area title
  $form['comment_filter']['comment']['#title']  = t('Your message');
  // Remove input formats information.
  $form['comment_filter']['format'] = NULL;
  // Removes homepage field
  unset($form['homepage']);
  // Removes preview button 
  unset($form['preview']);              
  return drupal_render($form);
}

Thanks @wnicklin.. Your solution worked for me in a drupal 6.x installation.. Thanks..

Add this to your CSS:

#edit-homepage-wrapper {
display: none;
}

I did this by editing my core module. Added these lines just before the output return in module/comment/comment.module function comment_form() .
/* Unset the comment fileds . */
unset($form['homepage']);
unset($form['mail']);
unset($form['preview']);
unset($form['admin']['homepage']);
This is just a patch but worked for me.

For Drupal 7 add the following code to your themes template.php file. Replace THEME with your themes name.

function THEME_form_comment_form_alter(&$form) {
  $form['author']['homepage']['#access'] = FALSE;
}

Setting the homepage to NULL will throw a php validation error.

If you want only to edit a certain content type (example I am using is for blog content type), replace with

THEME_form_comment_node_blog_form_alter

Thanks a lot! It works in Danland theme.

hi, i am having the same problem in D7. however, it didn't exist earlier, just popped after i installed mollum. am i on the right track? does mollum have any option to disable this field? thanks.

Just in case anyone wants to know where the homepage field comes from, visit admin/structure/types/manage/[content type]. In the comment settings vertical tab, there is a select option for anonymous commenting. Selecting "Anonymous posters must leave their contact information" or "Anonymous posters may leave their contact information" causes the email and homepage fields to show.

If you are okay with users just entering their name, subject (if enabled), and comment, then you can select "Anonymous posters may not leave their contact information".

If you are just looking to remove the homepage field but leave the email field enabled for Drupal 7, I would go with what mengi said.
