# Comment form hook question

 * Hi,
 * I’m writing a simple plugin to add various actions when a user posts a comment.
   
   I have added custom fields below the comment form using the comment_form hook.
 * What I would like to do is to have those fields output before the comment submit
   button. Is it or do I have to hardcode my fields in the comment template ?

 * The only template hook I’m aware of meant specifically for comments is ‘comment_form’.
   And of course that will only work when a theme has the hook (not all do).
 * I can imagine doing this programmatically by having your plugin conditionally
   test for single post or Page queries, then using output buffering to parse the
   page’s content, etc. Not a very workable solution in the best of conditions. 
   So yeah, explaining how to add these fields to ones template is your option here.
