Question: Guests with "Guests" on nick and Users nick linkables

[Pacificador]

Hello!!

I´m really interested in this; I want Guest to be shown like "Guest", I mean, they couldn't write their nick or user name if they are guests.
And the another thing is that I would want the nick of registered users to be linkable if it is possible, for examplo to their Kunena profile. This would be another way to know who users are registered or unregistered.

Are they possible modifying some php file or something?

Thank you!!

You could edit /components/com_jcomments/tpl/tpl_form.php and replace:

Code: (php)

<input id="comments-form-name" type="text" name="name" value="" maxlength="<?php echo $this->getVar('comment-name-maxlength');?>" size="22" tabindex="1" />

with

Code: (php)

<input id="comments-form-name" type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo JText::_('Guest'); ?>" maxlength="<?php echo $this->getVar('comment-name-maxlength');?>" size="22" tabindex="1" disabled="disabled" />

And the another thing is that I would want the nick of registered users to be linkable if it is possible, for examplo to their Kunena profile.

You could install JComments Avatar plugin and select Kunena as avatars' source and link user's avatars to their Kunena  profiles.

Thank you Smart! The avatars are working fine!

But I have modified the code and I have a little problem; the name "Guest" appears when page is loading and when finish, it dissappears, so if you try to post a comment, it says "Please, write your name".

Thanks!

1. It sounds like you didn't enable comment's length checking on permissions tab

Hi Smart!

Well, I'm refer to Guest nick display in last post. I think you have replied to my previous post, which I removed after finding the solution, jeje, and maybe you read it trough email submission, sorry.

Thanks!

Yes, I see. I'm already implemented settings for the 'Name' field (same as for e-mail) in JComments settings. If this field is disabled or unrequired and empty - name will be replaced with Guest. This feature will be available in next JComments version.
