I deleted the comment body from the content type settings, and replaced it with another field. When posting comments, I get this error:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$comment_body in function comment_submit() (line 2201 in file /modules/comment/comment.module).

Can this error be avoided?

It was needed to delete the field comment_body becase field permissions are inherited for all the content types and that is why another field was created and this one was deleted.

  • Yes, despite the comment body is a field that can be removed from the UI, the Comment module assume the field is always present.

  • Oh, it is a little bit confusing. Can it be fixed in any way?

  • Did you try making a field with same machine name and type?

  • In this case I need to delete the field comment_body becase field permissions are inherited for all the content types and that is why I created another field and deleted this one. Yes, if I add it back, it is restored but this action doesn't completely solve the problem.

Reset to default

  • Create a random content type
  • Restore the comment_body field from existing field`s, because it's existing now
  • Delete the random content type

  • You can turn off required option on the field comment_body and hide via css. Another solution drupal.org/node/1038652#comment-10968421

  • I tried to do the same but with 'author' and 'subject' fields but non of them are in the 'Select an existing field' list. Any ideas?

There is also a patch which actually needs review in Drupal Core concerning this issue: https://www.drupal.org/node/2717717

I applied it and it works.

First delete that field and clean Drupal's Cache, if that doesn't work just try to use this patch:

I recovered comments with recreating the tables (take care: all the comments will be removed):

  • comment,
  • field_data_comment_body,
  • field_revision_comment_body;

and reset statistics with:

UPDATE node_comment_statistics SET comment_count = 0;

Where to get SQL query to recreate them? Get it from another Drupal installation with comments.
