Is there a way for admins (or logged in users) to view the email address a visitor left while posting a comment. I can't see it listed on the comments page (admin/content/comment).

you'll want to start by working with your comment.tpl.php file (i dont recall if thats part of the default theme or not)... inside that file, you can displays the various $user attributes of the commenter...

hope that helps get you started... :)

Hi,

I have the same problem. The e-mail address and homepage is requested by default but the e-mail address is nowhere to be found after submission. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to figure this one out...

Its stored in the comments table-- the easiest way to get at it is to create a comments view that includes those fields. It's also part of the $comment object so you can print it out in a custom comment.tpl.php if you want.

@WorldFallz or anyone,

I think this is a view

admin/content/comment

It shows the fields
Subject
Author
Posted in (node)
Time

ie the one that shows by clicking 'Content Management/Comments' in the Admin menu.

Is it possible to edit this view to add the email field? Looking at my list of views in admin/build/views I can't see this view in the list.

Thanks

it's not listed at admin/build/views because it's actually not a view-- it's a menu call back provided by core.

Ok thanks - I could create my own view but I might lose the 'approval queue' tab and the admin/content/comment admin menu link. I know it is generally not good to hack core but would it be easy for me to just add the email field to the relevant code?

Thank you
