Copy the file _item_comment.inc.php from skins/ to skins/glossyblue/ then on line 52 change

$Comment->author();

to

$Comment->author( T_('Mr. '), T_(' !') );

and you'll get Comment from: Mr. random08 !

Thanks.... But..this dosnt seem to be working... from the looks of it glossyBlue Skin uses _item_feedback_inc.php to display comments..

Still your suggestion applies when displaying all comments right?..

What I want to do is add a particular string to a name of a visitor (some one not registered) Only.

From the look of things I have to do this before the Form is submitted... using...

if( ! is_logged_in() ) { ........} 

I hope i'm correct on the method.. but I dont know how to retrieve an the Comment title from the Form in order to change it..

This is exactly what you need. It adds text before and after the visitor name in comments.
Why can't you try first and then say that it doesn't work? :roll:

I did Try it but nothing changed.....

Firstly I think the _item_comment.inc.php is not used in glossyBlue Skin I use... as far as I can see it uses a file named _item_feedback_inc.php (it certinally has all the codes in _item_comment.inc.php)

Secondly I dont want to attach a String to the name of all people who leave a comment....just the normal visitors (as opposed to those who have registered and has user names/passwords...)....

From what I can see u are changing the output Name of All Comment Names.. What I want is to change the output Name of all those who have not registered..

..
anyways thanks for ur help...:)

You are right about _item_feedback_inc.php :oops: , open this file and look at line 179

$Comment->author('','','','®','htmlbody',true);

This is how it works

/**
	 * Template function: display author of comment
	 *
	 * @param string String to display before author name if not a user
	 * @param string String to display after author name if not a user
	 * @param string String to display before author name if he's a user
	 * @param string String to display after author name if he's a user
	 * @param string Output format, see {@link format_to_output()}
	 * @param boolean true for link, false if you want NO html link
	 */
	function author( $before = '', $after = '#', $before_user = '', after_user = '#', $format = 'htmlbody', $makelink = false )

By default you have a regstered sign ® shown after registered user because the function has ® as 4th parameter.
First two parameters control before author name if not a user and after author name if not a user

Change this line and you'll see what I mean

$Comment->author('Before ',' After','','®','htmlbody',true);
