Mandatory comment fields

[firequall]

I'm not all that great with PHP, so I'm asking you guys how I would go about making the email field in the comments mandatory before posting?

Also, is it possible/is there a hack to block certain IPs from posting comments?

Blocking IPs shouldnt be useful as PP 1.5 will have comments moderation queue.

mandatory fields is a nice thing to have

Blocking IPs shouldnt be useful as PP 1.5 will have comments moderation queue.Okay, well until then is there something that will block IPs from posting until PP 1.5 is released?

mandatory fields is a nice thing to haveSo how do I implement them on my site?

[raminia]

right now only the message field is mandatory you can do the same inside index.php for email or names

Drop this into your .htaccess file:

order allow,deny
deny from 123.456.789.00
allow from all

Replace 123.456.789.00 with the IP you want to block.
