Can you convert my comments form to comment_form arrays? WordPress

SOLVED

We would like the below comment form fields to be converted into comment_form arrays. In your response please provide a complete <?php to ?> snippet.

Arrays that should be filled in are:
comment_field
must_log_in
logged_in_as
comment_notes_before
comment_notes_after'
id_form
id_submit
title_reply
title_reply_to
cancel_reply_link
label_submit
* am I missing any?
** If an array would have no data please place ". . ." as a place holder.

<section id="leaveresponse"> <h3 class="cssfonts--17">Leave a Response</h3> <?php if (get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID) : ?> <p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p> <?php else : ?> <form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post"> <?php if ($user_ID) : ?> <p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Log out of this account">Log out »</a></p> <?php else : ?> <div id="authorData"> <label for="author">Name <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></label> <input type="name" name="author" id="author" class="commentmeta-textbox cssfonts--16 textbox-grey" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="55" tabindex="1" <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?>> <div class="clear"></div> <label for="email">Email (will not be published) <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></label> <input type="email" name="email" id="email" class="commentmeta-textbox cssfonts--16 textbox-grey" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="55" tabindex="2" <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?>> <div class="clear"></div> <label for="url">Website</label> <input type="url" name="url" id="url" class="commentmeta-textbox cssfonts--16 textbox-grey" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" size="55" tabindex="3"> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <?php endif; ?>

Hi,

I had coded you a WordPress 3.0 comment form based on the above codes you posted.
This form uses the function comment_form().
You can further customization by adding into the $arguments array.
You can refer to http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form
or http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-theme-tip-the-comment-form/
for customization examples.

Or simply drop me a reply, I will add in your customization.

<section id="leaveresponse"> <?php if (get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID) : ?> <p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p> <?php else : ?> <?php $arguments = array( 'id_form' => 'commentform', 'id_submit' => 'submit', 'title_reply' => __( '<h3 class="cssfonts--17">Leave a Response</h3>' ), 'title_reply_to' => __( 'Leave a Reply to %s' ), 'cancel_reply_link' => __( 'Cancel reply' ), 'label_submit' => __( 'Post Comment' ), ); ?> <?php comment_form($arguments); ?> <?php endif; ?> </section>

Thanks.

Denzel,

I am familiar with Otto's writeup and [[LINK href="http://bluemushrooms.com/wordpress-adding-comment_form-theme/"]]Sapphire's response[[/LINK]]. I am looking for more of a finished product, I just don't have the time to do this myself. If you can do the customization we can wrap this WPQuestion up as answered. :)

Denzel Chia comments:

Yes,

Just use the above code and tell me what you need further.

Thanks.

Matt Taylor comments:

We need to add html to the field inputs themselves for things such as classes, aria-required="true", and to control input types such as email.

So the fields we need to add code to are: name, email, website, and comment.

Denzel Chia comments:

Ok,

The below codes adds in the fields name, email, website in the $fields array.
Just change the class="comment-form-author" to what you need.
For the comment textarea just change class="comment-form-comment"to what you need.
And any other HTML in it that you want to change into.

<section id="leaveresponse"> <?php if (get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID) : ?> <p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php echo urlencode(get_permalink()); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p> <?php else : ?> <?php $fields = array( 'author' => '<p class="comment-form-author">' . '<label for="author">' . __( 'Name' ) . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '<input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' /></p>', 'email' => '<p class="comment-form-email"><label for="email">' . __( 'Email' ) . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '<input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req .

'" size="30" /></p>', ); ?> <?php $arguments = array( 'fields' => apply_filters( 'comment_form_default_fields', $fields ), 'comment_field' => '<p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">' . _x( 'Comment', 'noun' ) . '</label><textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" aria-required="true"></textarea></p>', 'id_form' => 'commentform', 'id_submit' => 'submit', 'title_reply' => __( '<h3 class="cssfonts--17">Leave a Response</h3>' ), 'title_reply_to' => __( 'Leave a Reply to %s' ), 'cancel_reply_link' => __( 'Cancel reply' ), 'label_submit' => __( 'Post Comment' ), ); ?> <?php comment_form($arguments); ?> <?php endif; ?> </section>

Thanks.
