Do Not Publish Email Address

[julie]

Is there a way to require a commenter to enter their email address but not publish it in the actual comment? I have seen this on Wordpress, but haven't found a way to do it in MT.

By default it should not be showing a commenters email address.

 

Check out Show Email Addresses of Commenters.

This is what you would need to do (I'm assuming you're still using MT 3.121):

 

1) In Weblog Config / Preferences, check the box labelled 'Require Name and Email Address Information', then click the 'Save Changes' button at the bottom of the page. This is what will require your commenters to submit an e-mail address.

 

2) In your Individual Entry Archive template, find the MTCommentAuthorLink tag and change it to the following:

><$MTCommentAuthorLink show_email="0"$>

This is what will suppress the display of commenters' e-mail addresses.

 

3) Rebuild your Individual Entry Archive pages to update them on the server.
