This plugin works great! It took me 30 minutes of hacking functions to realise there was a plugin (this one), to add custom fields to the comments in wordpress, afterwhich it took me about 3 minutes to implement and set up.

You the man.

Wow. I’ve spent a few days now searching for something like this. You’re an absolute god in my book.

This works wondrously well!

I’ve used this in order to create a per-comment rating system for a client. Genius plugin, and highly recommended for all my future projects!

Thanks a lot, I greatly appreciate this.

Does any one know how to add a content into missing alt tags found in avatar images in comments in WP blog system? The Alt tags there are missing, it’s mandatory to have them as per xhtml compliance.

I tried adding this but using Brian’s Threaded Comments it has been a challenge.

If you use the default theme it works fine.

[...] first thing you’ll need is the Extra Comment Fields plugin. I used Version 1.2 Beta if you want a direct download [...]

This plugin was a bit of work but if I can get the last part working it will have been worth the effort. I’ve got the form working and the data is writing to the db but I can’t display the information in the comment loop with the sample code. Looks like others hare having this trouble with 2.6+ as well.

@scotjam, @Tim
I had the same problem with the comment moderation not showing up in WP 2.6; dug through the code and the problem seems to arise from where ecf_addOnComments() is called via the do_action(’manage_comments_nav’,$comment_status); on line 178 of edit-comments.php

I think I might have resolved this by commenting out line 177 in extra-comment-fields.php it should be
$comments = (($overrideComments)?($overrideComments):($comments));

I’m not entirely sure this works completely, so use at your own risk. Just thought I’d try and help pinpoint the issue.

Terrific plugin!

I had no problems with install and setup in Wordpress 2.6.2.

When I go to the “Comments” area in WP dashboard it nicely shows the extra field with the value supplied by the visitor.

However, when I go to edit any of the comments by clicking on the commenter’s name, the comment edit page I end up on does not contain the new field anywhere. So when I make any changes to the default fields and resave, the value in the extra field disappears and becomes blank on the website.

Thoughts? Help?

Thanks!

Plugin exactly what I need. Though it writes to the new database (and does create the correct prefix), I too am having trouble getting calls to appear. Anyone out there with thoughts?

Thanks. Great plugin if I can get the calls to work.
