    Hi,
    I have added a title and a ‘category’ field to my comment form but now I d like to change the category field in a dropdown list. How should I adapt the following code?

    /// Add and record metadata to comment
//Add fields
add_action( 'comment_form_logged_in_after', 'additional_fields' );
add_action( 'comment_form_after_fields', 'additional_fields' );

function additional_fields () {
  echo '<p class="comment-form-title">'.
  '<label for="title">' . __( 'Titre (Je peux...)' ) . '</label>'.
  '<input id="title" name="title" type="text" size="30"  tabindex="5" /></p>';

  echo '<p class="comment-form-cat">'.
  '<label for="category">' . __( 'Catégorie (Dans tous les cas, sans argent, sans le temps...)' ) . '</label>'.
  '<input id="category" name="category" type="text" size="30"  tabindex="5" /></p>';
}

// Record both
add_action( 'comment_post', 'save_comment_meta_data' );

function save_comment_meta_data( $comment_id ) {
  if ( ( isset( $_POST['title'] ) ) && ( $_POST['title'] != '') )
  $title = wp_filter_nohtml_kses($_POST['title']);
  add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'title', $title );

  if ( ( isset( $_POST['category'] ) ) && ( $_POST['category'] != '') )
  $category = wp_filter_nohtml_kses($_POST['category']);
  add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'category', $category );

}

    Would anybody have an idea on how to change it?
    Many thanks in advance for your help!!!
    Hopefully,

    Thierry

    OK, I finally made it following this crystal clear tut’: http://ivetetecedor.com/how-to-use-a-drop-down-menu-for-wordpress-custom-fields

    Consequently, my functions.php became:

    add_action( 'comment_form_logged_in_after', 'additional_fields' ); add_action( 'comment_form_after_fields', 'additional_fields' );

function additional_fields () { echo ''. '' . __( 'Titre (Je peux...)' ) . ''. '
';

echo 'Cette solution est particulièrement utile... Dans tous les cas Sans argent Sans le temps Sans la santé ';

}

add_action( 'comment_post', 'save_comment_meta_data' ); function save_comment_meta_data( $comment_id ) { if ( ( isset( $_POST['title'] ) ) && ( $_POST['title'] != '') ) $title = wp_filter_nohtml_kses($_POST['title']); add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'title', $title ); if ( ( isset( $_POST['category'] ) ) && ( $_POST['category'] != '') ) $category = wp_filter_nohtml_kses($_POST['category']); add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'category', $category );

}

    I hope it’ll help
