[wp-hackers] adding custom fields to a comment form

Ah, found an action hook you can use to display the field: comment_form_logged_in_after

So:

function add_comment_fields( $fields ) {

	?>

	<p class="comment-form-age">
		<label for="age"><?php _e( 'Age' ); ?></label>
		<input id="age" name="age" type="text" size="30" />
	</p>

   <?php
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_logged_in_after', 'add_comment_fields' );


That will display to logged in users only. Just echo out the form input. The saving should work the same as before, I think.
