As a temp fix I have updated weblog.vm (\WEB-INF\velocity\weblog.vm) to not
allow the user
to submit a comment with the name field blank.
function validateComments(theForm) {
//Additional validation added to stop null values being written to
//the database for an empty name field
if (theForm.name.value == "") {
alert("$text.get( "Please enter a name" )");
theForm.name.focus();
return false;
}
else if (theForm.content.value == "") {
alert("$text.get( "macro.weblog.commentwarning" )");
theForm.content.focus();
return false;
}
}
