How to add a textbox into the Comment Form?

luasoft

To add a textbox into the Discussion form, i used the hook:

public function PostController_AfterDiscussionFormOptions_Handler($Sender) {
    echo '<input type="text" name="Options" >';
}

and now, i want to add a text into the Comment Form,

is there the PostController_AfterCommentFormOptions_Handler($Sender) {} hook or a similar hook?

thanks!

Yes, DiscussionController_AfterBodyField_Handler.

Try the eventi plugin if you are looking for hooks. It will help you find the hooks you are looking for

Like I said use the form builder, rather then hard coding the input.

It is also worth looking at the context of the hook, in this case a view. As that will tell you what is appropriate.
That is why I recommend grep, if you can't find something.

Say for instance you have options, and the view loop through "options", and the hook has the "options" argument passed by reference. In that case and echo is wrong, becuase the loop takes care for that, it would be out of place, instead you would add to the options collection.

So check to see how exactly you would output when using any form/views hooks.

thanks, installed but it's not working on version 2.1.8p2

As far as I know the icons do not appear any more (since 2.1?), but that would be the only difference. It should still add markup to each page where there is an event fired and give you additional info there.
