Changing comment settings in Drupal 6

I am changing the comment settings on the website. I decided to add fields (such as name & e-mail), and remove the subject. So, if you want to do so, you need to go to Administer, and then - Content Type. Then for each content type you need to change the comment settings.

It is maybe better to display a comment form under the article, to motivate people to comment, but at the same time, it is too big and ugly, takes enormous place, and also is asking too many questions. However, I am leaving it for now to see what people think about it. What annoys me is that it is always written Anonymous in the name field. If it would be me, it would probably encourage me to leave the field as it is.

Ah, and the comment notifications is now fixed (Administer -> Site config -> Actions -> Create and action = send e-mail...). Also, since there is a captcha, I let the comments publish automatically (Admin -> User management -> Persmissions). Cool! Not very obvious for the first time, but will work out better for the next.

Enough fooling around for tonight...

I think that these changes

I think that these changes are good. I don't think that it is necessary to keep subject field. Maybe only 10% of people are using it. To add the name field was a great idea because it is nice to see who has written one or other thing. Thanks for changes and I will be looking forward to other great articles from you in the future.

kool example. I'm managing the comment for every content. How can you do it?

I was managing each comment

I was managing each comment before, but it became too hard to follow, having in mind that Drupal function to send e-mails each time a comment is published, is not working.

You can do this by administering the content type to detain the comments for approval. Then you go to Content Management -> Comments -> Approval queue, and you make a decision (approve or delete).

Maybe keep the subject box...

Maybe keep the subject box... or is it too long to fill in for a simple comment?
