Adding custom fields

[wottpal]

Hi, first thank you for your amazing work. 🎉

Is there an straightforward way for adding a custom field (like a Twitter handle) to comments. Or do I have to manually modify the plugins-core?

Unfortunately custom fields are currently not supported. I am planing to offer the following interface for creating custom fields:

A custom field can be created in Kirbys config.php and must include:

• a name for the KirbyText key
• an HTTP POST name
• an isRequired flag

Additionally it can include:

• a validation function which may throw errors in the 4xx domain
• a sanitation function for improving values (e.g. "example.org" to "http\://example.org")

Comments about the above interface are welcome.

Sound super cool! 💯 Maybe an additional option for an HTML5 form-validation pattern could be useful.

The plugin is independent of the markup you are using. Kirby Comments includes some snippets for a quick start, but you can create any HTML code you want. Have a look at the custom markup section for more information.

Version 1.5.0 is live and on master! For more on custom fields have a look at
