or should I create a plugin ? if it’s the case, why ? Yes you should: Separation of concerns. A theme is the view of the application. As the facebook functionality is part of your application, it belongs into a plugin. You have one large benefit from moving stuff into plugins: If you exchange your … Read more
I think your best bet is to take a look at Otto’s post all about the comment form and functions, here: http://ottopress.com/2010/wordpress-3-0-theme-tip-the-comment-form/ If you want to cut to the chase, you can add this function to your functions.php: function my_fields($fields) { $fields[‘new’] = ‘<p>Some new input field here</p>’; return $fields; } add_filter(‘comment_form_default_fields’,’my_fields’); Then set new … Read more
You don’t change the ordering, essentially. If you need to reposition things on the page, you should use CSS. That’s what it’s for. The submit button is in a P with a class of form-submit. You can use that to move it around with CSS.

Do you mean modifying its text or behavior? The function is very extensive and customizable. It both accepts extensive set of parameters and has a lot of hooks. For starters see: comment_form() in Codex; WordPress 3.0 Theme Tip: The Comment Form.
It seems that WordPress handles the comment field separately than the other fields. If you look at comment_form() in wp-includes/comment-template.php, you can see this. It’s possible to set $defaults[‘comment_field’] to false in alpha_comments_defaults() then add the comment field markup to $fields[‘comment_field’] in alpha_comments_fields() in the desired order, but this could cause trouble with plugins. I’ve … Read more
Most likely, the ‘at’ is coming from the value of $comment->comment_date. If that is the case, and since we have to do with string, you could pass it from str_replace first, in order to remove the ‘ at’, like: function my_change_comment_date_format( $date, $date_format, $comment ) { return date( ‘d M Y’, strtotime( str_replace(” at”, “”, … Read more
In addition. You already have code which can kind of do what you need. add_filter( ‘preprocess_comment’, ‘verify_comment_meta_data’ ); function verify_comment_meta_data( $commentdata ) { if ( ! isset( $_POST[‘wp_review_comment_rating’] ) ) wp_die( __( ‘A rating is required. Hit the BACK button and resubmit your review with a rating.’ ) ); // this is filter and $commentdata … Read more
