Does any one know how to make validation on the name field in new reply and new topic, when admin has allowed no-registed users to write in the forum?

The field allows to leave it blank!! :O(

If some one knows what to modify, then please let me know!!!

Thanks!

This will be a feature in the next version, but as I haven't had time to look into it yet I can't tell you what parts to change at the present time.

Sure!

It�s in all forms, where admin has allowed the non-reg. users to write new topics, relplies, polls and Quotes in the forum

In the beta 4 version, there is a new form field called "Gname" - that is the field, that so fare can be left blank - and that�s not good.

It would be better, if Guest users HAD to write their names by default!

I think it�s only that I have to ad some more to the Javascript, that checks the fileds, but I don�t know where...

If you could help me at this time, I would be very happy!

To have name validation do the following:-

add the following line to language_file_inc.asp:-

Const strTxtNoNameError = "Name \t\t- Enter your name"

Add the following line at line 420 of forum_posts.asp and line 245 of post_message_form.asp:-

<%
'If this is a guest posting check that they have entered their name
If blnPost And lngLoggedInUserID = 2 Then
%>
//Check for a name
if (document.frmAddMessage.Gname.value==""){
errorMsg += "\n\t<% = strTxtNoNameError %>";
}
<%
End If
