If you don't want to display article and author in the template. Use custom
form design instead of {% form.as_p %} tag.
Something like <input name={{ form.comment }} value = {{ form.comment }} >
this will render only comment field on template. You should not remove
those fields as those are required to process form.
Share the code as zip will exam it and let you know.
