Making New Comment Email Notification Be Anonymous

[ncblazin247]

Hello,

My Jcomments are currently anonymous but when a user subscribes to a comment wall, and a new comment comes in, the notification email contains the username of the poster. Can you please tell me how to fix this issue in the coding?

Thanks,

Nikolas

What are you mean when you say 'anonymous'? Are you allow comments posting for guests without registration?

BTW, you can change notification emails template and remove output user name in template (/components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_email.php)

By anonymous I mean instead of the username showing up in the comments, the word "guest" shows up instead, Intentionally did this awhile back.

How would I make the poster username in the email notifications appear as "guest" as well?

Open file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_email.php and replace:

Code: (php)

$comment->author

with

Code: (php)

JText::_('Guest');

Hmm I am not finding the "$comment->author" text in that file. Would it be called something else?

Oh, sorry! I've looked to my development version. In your version you should replace:

Code: (php)

$comment->name

with

Code: (php)

JText::_('Guest');
