 * Hi, I did not see a related topic here.
 * My question is – I want to customize this nice, simple guestbook by adding a 
   few additional fields to the “reply” form. A couple of them are going to be drop-
   list “select” fields, etc. So, I wanted to know if I can do this from the admin
   panel item under “guestbook settings”, or am I going to need to actually code
   it myself in the guestbook’s include modules?
 * Other than that,
 * I really like the simple interface, though it took me a bit to figure out where
   certain settings were found. I think it integrates well, especially with the 
   twenty-fourteen theme, and looks nice in “mobile” simulated display!
 * I am also willing to help with some development ideas of it – if you are open
   to that. 😉

 * Hi Dragon’s Eye, I was also looking for this option and found this super good
   tutorial: [http://wpengineer.com/2214/adding-input-fields-to-the-comment-form/](http://wpengineer.com/2214/adding-input-fields-to-the-comment-form/)
 * It worked for me.
    I’ve added the field “Reis” and the output is [author name]
   over [reis]

 * Hi, “kingmaico”.
 * Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the informative link. That info would be
   good for a future project of mine, but not quite for this case (yet). I may have
   to go and do some recoding and customization of the plug-in, myself. There are
   a few other things about it that I wish to change, like making it more user-friendly
   and customizable (as far as styling, etc.). The few fields I wanted to add were
   going to be droplists where the data would be fed from entries stored in the 
   database, so as to be updateable and expandable (like certain user-desired choices,
   if they did not already appear in the list).
 * Again,
 * Thank you for the feedback. I will look a little more into the other option you
   suggested.
 * – Jim
