This patch adds a textarea on admin/comment/configure. Whatever you enter there will be displayed to the user when replying to a comment. This is similar to what is already possibile for admin/settings/content-types/page

Jaza commentedInteresting feature. Personally, I don't think it's needed, though.
Moving to 6.x-dev queue.
Comment #2
Christefano-oldaccount commentedI disagree that this isn't needed. Countless weblogs and web columns today have posting guidelines and I've always been surprised that Drupal doesn't have built-in support for it.
Comment #3
hpn commentedI agree with christefano. This is a very vital feature.
Comment #4
archetwist commentedIt's incredible how long it takes to incorporate such a simple and useful feature.
Comment #5
mki commentedSome changes and update to Drupal HEAD from 2007/06/19.
Please devote your time to review and add this to Drupal core. Thank you.

mki commentedIn node module we have submission guidelines ($type->help variable) in help system:
But help is at the top of page. On reply submission we will have on page:
(1) help = commend submission guidelines,
(2) node (+comments) / comment
(3) comment form.
Any ideas?
Comment #9
Christefano-oldaccount commentedWhat I ended up doing is add something like this to template.php:
I've written up a more elaborate tutorial that allows editing of the comment guidelines from within Drupal (instead of editing template.php).
Check my drupal.org profile for a link to my Drupal development column.
This is crossposted at http://drupal.org/node/15248 (#comment-242999).

keith.smith commentedThis will be a nice feature for 7.x (since 6.x is both string- and feature-frozen).
Comment #11
Sborsody commentedJust want to voice my support for this. I was looking for something like this. This is partly a usability issue to me.

josh123-1 commentedMaybe it's a vital, but i used it. Thanks.

HS commentedI agree absolutely essential for any CMS, especially one which has blogging capability.
You can create a block under content area to show up, but only if your comment reply is set up to open on a different page.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedSubscribing. The patch needs refreshed for HEAD.
Comment #15
HS commentedThis module : http://drupal.org/project/warning
Takes care of the issue and allows the admin to place warning messages in other submission forms as well. I think this is the ideal way to go.
Comment #16
Anonymous (not verified) commentedAnother example of a badly named project. Actually I agree with Hilal that the way to handle this issue is with a module. I think that the module should be a part of the core maintained modules. So rather than the patching to add a form submission message to the comment area we should patch to add a module that adds a form submission message to what ever form we may have. Maybe combine it with the form help area.
Comment #17
HS commentedEarnie,
There are a ton of other modules that are really beneficial to any drupal site, again posted in the wrong section, bad titles, vague descriptions. Just criminal..
Drupal should have staff or mods who can dig through this stuff and bring them all out.
After the recent changes to drupal.org its harder to find these modules.
Comment #18
Anonymous (not verified) commentedHilal,
The place to complain about the website is in the Drupal webmasters issue queue. I agree that I don't like the new d.o/project/Modules page as well as I did before. You could ask to become a documentation editor or simply supply a patch for a page.
Comment #19
elliotttf commentedI've re-worked this patch for D7 allowing for the submission guidelines to be added on a per-content type basis.
Comment #20
sdsheridanNice patch. Simple and effective, and nice that it's on a per-content-type basis. The only thing I might do is attach a class to the <p> tag, so themers can style it.
Comment #21
damien tournoud commentedDrupal 7 is long feature frozen now. Bumping to Drupal 8.
Comment #23
brianV commentedRe-rolled for D8, with sdsheridan's suggestion to add a class to the

Bojhan commentedneeds screenshot
Comment #25
brianV commentedSure, as requested. I've also added an updated copy of the patch.
Comment #26
dixon_I think this is a sensible thing to have. Placement and/or interaction might need some iterations though.
Another thing we also need is tests for this.
Comment #27
Bojhan commentedI was tempted to mark this won't fix, but since dixon_ found it sensible I would love to know what the thoughts are? Why is this necessary for core? I am not sure this is a widely requested feature.
Comment #28
dixon_Actually, Bojhan is right. This is an easy thing to fix in contrib and not very widely requested. Having submission guidelines for nodes makes much more sense, since nodes are mostly used very differently. Comments are mostly just comments.
