All,
First, I got this comment system to work! A huge achievement for me actually. We run 2Hands.org and our commenting system js-kit went kaput as in they no longer host comments. I needed a fully customizable solution and found commentics. I am so happy.
We require users to register with a 6 digit posting number. This posting number needs to be placed in the name field, which I have changed to 2Hands ID. I get an error saying the name field needs to contain letter etc. How can I disable this so it accepts just the 6 numbers without an error?

Any help is HUGELY appreciated.

I have the form up at http://www.2hands.org/comment.php

Hi,

Do you want no validation or validation for 6 numbers? I'll post both solutions.

1. No validation

Open /comments/includes/functions/processor.php

At line 408, there is this:

PHP Code:

<?php 

function cmtx_validate_name ($name) { //checks whether name was valid

    

    if (cmtx_is_encoding_iso($name)) { //if encoding is ISO-8859-1

        if (!preg_match('/^[a-z0-9&\-\'. ]+$/i', $name) || !preg_match("/^[a-z]+/i", $name)) { //if the submitted name does not validate

            cmtx_error(CMTX_ERROR_MESSAGE_INVALID_NAME); //reject user for entering invalid name    

        }

    }

    

    //lower/uppercase letters, numbers, ampersand, hyphen, apostrophe, period, space

    

} //end of validate-name function

Thank you SO MUCH! I am humbled by your quick response and solution! This is going to be a lifesaver for our website and we all thank you Steven!
