# Link only comments

 * I’m trying to get comments to display only the author name and corresponding 
   link as a comment. I have deleted the form entry fields for the comments section,
   but when a post is made an error is shown saying “Please, enter a comment.” I
   have tried to delete the $comment value from wp-comments-post.php, but have been
   unsucessful in figuring out the exact value.
    Thanks for any help.

 * I forgot to provide a link to the site, which may be needed:

 * because the posting function checks for a value in the form field “comment”, 
   you either must remove that check, or put a dummy value in. I suggest the later.
   
   Take the `<textarea>` out and replace it with a `<input type="hidden" value="
   dummycomment" name="comment" />` and you should be set.

 * I placed that in, but when I try to post it anything.

 * Ok, i have no idea what that last thing you just said means, but it seems to 
   be working fine now when I try it on your site, so…uh…good job!

 * I’m not sure what happened with that last post. I was trying to say that I got
   everything to work, and thanks for all your help.
