how to disable comments form cookies

  • Hi there,

    I wonder if there is a plugin or some kind of solution to add a following checkbox to comment form:

    do not store my e-mail and name on this computer

    Clicking on this checkbox would allow to disable storing of autor e-mail and name cookies.

    Any suggestions?

  • And I’d like to just disable it across the board (so that past commenters could get a quickly delivered page from the wp-cache plugin).

    Huh. Nobody’s asked for that one that I can find.

    Anyway, edit wp-comments-post.php and remove these lines at the bottom of the file:

    if ( !$user->ID ) {
	setcookie('comment_author_' . COOKIEHASH, $comment->comment_author, time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
	setcookie('comment_author_email_' . COOKIEHASH, $comment->comment_author_email, time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
	setcookie('comment_author_url_' . COOKIEHASH, clean_url($comment->comment_author_url), time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN);
}

    I tried commenting out the above code in wp-comments-post.php, and when I tried to post a comment, I received this error:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [blog directory]/wp-comments-post.php:2) in [blog directory]/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 391

    We do not want to set cookies for commenters, though we want to collect name and email information. Any other ideas?
