Topic: Email Not Optional When Posting a Comment

I have a new install of CuteNews 2.0 on a website.

The comment feature asks for Name, Email, and your Comment with Email as an optional field.  However, when trying to post a comment without an email address, an error displays reading "Email is invalid. Go Back." 

If an email is indeed an optional field as stated, does anyone know what may be causing the email field to be required data? What would I need to make email an optiional field.

Thanks.

Received an email from support that took care of my problem.  Code for the add_comment.php file has been updated. The link support gave me to get the updated code is: https://github.com/CuteNews/cutenews-2.0/co...ff47ebb54b69125


Good luck all.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for reporting.

Hopefully they will fix other major issues such as archives soon.

Re: Email Not Optional When Posting a Comment

Question: Now that the e-mail is completely optional, I can't seem to find a place to enable e-mail as compulsory anymore.

How can I make it so that people who comment on the article need to have an e-mail instead of being optional? Thanks.

Re: Email Not Optional When Posting a Comment

The e-mail was made optional (Check-box in System Configuration > Comment > Check e-mail or site before adding a comment).
