Hello,

I am happy with the way the EE commenting system works except that I need to add one custom field that must be a required field.
I found this post:

Where freeform is mentioned as a possible alternative.

Am I on the right track to try and use freeform as a replacement to the comments module in EE?

Al I need to do is add one more required field.

Thanks!

Ok, so I just added it.

I modified
mod.comment.php

Simply added:

And then went into:
lang.comment.php and added:

to the $L array.

I am sure there is a way to do this with an extension, I’d rather not hack modules.
I have yet to try building one. Would this be possible? If so, which hook would I use?

Thank you very much.
