Adding an extra field to the comments

  • I’m looking for a tutorial or a plugin that will add an extra field to the comments page. For example, the current comments form after every post looks like this:
    Name __________
    Email ___________
    Website _________
    Comments _________

    I would like to add extra/custom fields to make the comments form look like this:
    Name _____________
    Email _____________
    Website ______________
    Country _____________
    Age ______________
    Comments ________________

    This would then be stored in the database and displayed after the comment is submitted.

    Could somebody point me in the right direction please? Thanks!

    Hi there

    I searched high and low and could only find the ideashower plugin – which is hopelessly out of date for 3.01.

    I ended up hiring a developer to get one sorted for me. Now I have a custom field that works great on the comments form and that shows up on the admin and in the notification email. Overall it works well.

    It did cost me to get this sorted, and it would be nice to recover some of that cost, so I’d be happy to share the code (and developer contact for any additional mods you might need) with anyone who wants it for US $15 payable by paypal.

    If you’re interested, you can reach me on: solaceten at gmail.com

    This does work as testified by another user who recently contacted me.

    Thanks for the files!

    …I had it all up and running in 20 minutes!

    Thank you very much for the explanation and help.

    Everything described in the readme file cleared everything and made it easy to install

    The following is a basic tutorial, but it doesn’t explain how to add the comment meta data to the admin Edit Comment page – just how to add the fields to the comment form and how to display the data:

    Trust me – I’ve tried everything and in the end came up with the above solution – but good luck!

    Hi everyone – I have added some more functionality to the plug-in and created a page with screen shots for you to see (and the site to test the demo:
