TOPIC: Hide some fields

Hi,
I hide some fields like the backEnd let me do.
So, I would hide the "title" field too, so I modify the HTML file.
But, the comment system don't work
Title is it a required field to JoomlaCOmment work ?
How can I do to hide it ?
Thanks

Hi,

The quick way is to make the field as hidden field and assign some default value to it.

Hi,
Ok, I make it hiden with comments in HTML file but how can I do to assign a default value ?
Could you post me the code please ?
Thanks

Hi,

put any value you feel like, the check is only that title cannot be null.
you can have following:

<input name='ttitle' type='text' value="Not Needed"/>

Hello m0nb0f, can you explain what you do to hide title and email field please?
I try the piece of code above but fields are still appears…

Something must be wrong in my code. What part must be commented ? :

Hi Ben,

To hide field "TITLE", I do that :
Use the style of display "none" and not the comment quote
You must put a default value to register work (so value="" )

Regards

Thanks a lot !!

I suppose that it's the same technic to hide email…

Hi!

which file do i need to open to be able to change the code?

Ben,
Yes, I suppose too but I didn't try it

Joman,
You need change the index.html file that you use for your customized template with the HTML template editoron "Other Components Settings"

Regards

thanks for help so far.

In my backend, other component settings and there if i choose my template doesn't have a html editor. I put the option Modify current customized template on yes. and in the folder media/myjosctemplates there is no html file. hmmm

I have no problem with editing the html, my problem is to find the right index.html.

I am using joomlacomment with the component com_seyret.

Hi,
It's on "Contents Settings" and not "Other Component Settings"
Choose "Layout"
Be sure "Your customized template" is writable
Put "Modify current customized template" on Yes
Apply > HTML and CSS will appear
Il will create an index.html file on /home/yoursite/media/myjosctemplates

I don't use it with Seyret, just with Joomla articles but I think that it must work too

Regards

Thanks for help so far guys!

I got the Index file to show up in my ftp now. The problem was that I didnt put "Copy current standard template to customized template directory:" on yes.

However, my changed skriped doesn´t work.

{/BLOCK-_ENTERWEBSITE}

<tr class='sectiontableentry1' style='display:none'>

<td><div class='item'>{_ENTERTITLE}</div></td>

<td><div class='item'>

<input name='ttitle' type='text' class='inputbox' size='40 ' value='display:none'/>

</div></td>

Thank you for any suggestions!

Hi Joman,
Be sure that you do all of this :
- Go to "Contents Settings"
- Choose "Layout"
- Choose a Standard template (HTML and CSS)
- Apply
- Be sure "Your customized template" is writable
- Put "Copy current standard template to customized template directory" on YES
- Apply
- Be sure that in "Your customized template" the good one is selected. If not, select and apply
- Put "Modify current customized template" on Yes
- Apply > HTML and CSS will appear
Il will create an index.html file on /home/yoursite/media/myjosctemplates
- Modify the code of HTML
- Apply

It must work...

Be carreful :
<input name='ttitle' type='text' class='inputbox' size='40 ' value='display:none'/> is not good !!
You must pass a value to register work.
