[Plugin: Fun with in-context comments] Changing position of context fields breaks plugin

This is a great plugin and has come in handy for an informal photo contest I’m hosting at work.

There’s one problem I’ve encountered when trying to change the location of the pulldown options menu to be above the comment form. After you move the location with this code…

<?php comment_context_fields(); ?>

…it stops registering what the commenter selected and displays “none selected” even when they’ve selected something. I created a little work-around which was to plug in my own action into comments.php right after the opening <form> tag:

<?php do_action('add_comment_pulldown', $post->ID); ?>

Then, in your plugin file, I changed this:

add_action('comment_form'....

To this:

add_action('add_comment_pulldown'....

I recognize why you added the options pulldown where you did, but it just didn’t make enough sense from a usability standpoint to have it after the comment submit button. Hopefully this little trick will help others or give you an idea for your next update to this plugin.

Thanks for writing it!
