Cool, now we will need to change the content of this custom.js file (the story of the magazine template - it was a template that was developed for magazine.joomla.org - and I forgot to delete it from the package... so it is tightly specialized for their website... and that is why when you change the settings in the backend, they are not reflected...)
Anyway, go to the custom.js file and remove this code
if($('temail').value == '' && !$('temail').disabled) {
$('temail').value = 'enter your e-mail address...';
}
if($('twebsite').value == '') {
$('twebsite').value = 'enter your site URL...';
}
then go to the joscedit function and remove this code
if(!form.temail.disabled) {
if (!validate(form.temail.value, form)) {
return 0;
}
}
if($('twebsite').value == '' || $('twebsite').value == 'enter your site URL...' ) {
$('twebsite').value = '';
}
if ( document.getElementsByName('tnotify')[0] && document.getElementsByName('temail')[0] ) {
if ( form.tnotify.selectedIndex && form.temail.value == '') {
alert(COM_COMMENT_FORMVALIDATE_EMAIL);
return 0;
}
}
save, reaload the page (make clear to clear all browser caches) and let me know if it works. If it doesn't work would you mind providing me with frp access??? I would fix it for you then.
Cheers,
Daniel
