how do I change the header color background, and also the font colors? Could you make that a variable?

http://ordorica.org/index.php?id=22

is my site as an example.

I`ve installed Guestbook-3 at my site, but I get an error at the Guestbooksite.. who says "Guestbook-user/manager not found. Configurate the settings".

I dont know what I have to configurate/edit in the snippet. Can anybody help?

You can see the site here: Johannas Studieside - Use the link "Gæstebog"!!!

That message refers to the fact that you need to adjust the code to include an existing Etomite user/manager as the GuestBook3 administrator... The variable which needs attention is $gbadmin which can either be hard-coded or can be sent in the snippet call... Hope this helps...

[Johanna]

Thank you!

I still get errors.. so I`ll look at it later!

[rain]

Oh I forgot:

if you add this:

#smilie_box {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
left: 750px;
top: 285px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 22px 0 0 -26px;
border: 1px solid #0000FF;
background: #FFFFFF;
width: 200px;
}

to your style sheet,
you can use these variables to pre-position the smilie box when the smilie-button is pressed.

Perhaps there are some more make-up things that I placed directly in the snippetcode which can be placed in the style sheet. Please feel free to do so and enhance the guestbook.

Hi there,

i successfully installed etomite and the guestbook3 snippet. It worked great. I didn't change anything but now I get a 'Cannot redeclare smile()' error everytime I try to watch the guestbook. I don't know where the bug is, in the snippet itself or in the etomite parser.
Can anybody help me?

If you aren't doing so already, try using [!...!] for your snippet call instead of [[...]] to see if that helps... If this caching issue doesn't solve your problem then you might want to try reinstalling the snippet code, although I can't imagine how it would become only partially corrupt... Keep us posted... Also, try refreshing your site from within Etomite manager...

I changed the snippet call but it doesn't work. I reinstalled the code more than 1 time. Doesn't work, too. Could it be that PHP 5 isn't supported?

Ahhhh... Another piece of the puzzle is revealed... Might have helped to have lnown about the PHP5 earlier... You may want to check into whether PHP5 does additional caching... If so, I'm sure there is a work-around...

OK. I'm a beginner in such issues, but I will do my best.

[Prelithe]

I can say that it works with php 5 (i have tested it with php 5.0.3 apache)

I helped myself and did a few little modifications, mostly to the style so you can edit directly from css, so here is the new code:

Snippet:        GuestBook3 (based on GuestBook2) - Etomite v0.6.3 - Modified 2005-09-05

Created By:     Ralph A. Dahlgren - rad14701@yahoo.com
Modified By:    Mikko K. Lammi - lammikko@gmail.com - www.parea.fi
Modified By:    Rain R. Visser
Modified By:    Prelithe - Added Styles

Demo URL GB2:   http://www.parea.fi/raaputuksia/guestbook.html

Usage:          Create an Etomite user or admin as GuestBook owner in Etomite Manager
                Change $defaultadmin variable to match GuestBook owner
                OR
                Messages will be deposited into that mailbox, but only GuestBook
                messages will be displayed within the GuestBook listing.
                Place the .gifs in assets\images
                Place the .JS in assets\site

Variables:      $gbtype - Referenced in GuestBook admin User Messages Subject
                $gbadmin - Etomite User/Admin who will receive this message

Examples:       Use the [!SnippetName!] syntax instead of regular [[SnippetName]]:
                [!GuestBook!] - Will use snippet defaults for $gbtype and $gbadmin
                [!GuestBook?gbtype=GuestBook&gbadmin=guestbook!] - Self Explanatory
                [!GuestBook?gbadmin=someuser!] - Uses $etomite->documentObject['pagetitle'] for $gbtype
                [!GuestBook?bgtype=SomeTopic!] - Uses $defaultadmin for $gbadmin

Note:           $etomite->documentObject['createdby'] was not used for $gbadmin intentionally
                To implement this capability would entail and additonal DB Query before Inserts

Other changes:
Made gb_type equal to the page ID if no value was set
gb_admin is set to prelithe - change it!
Comments box shows up regardless of button pressing, just uncomment the if and else statements if you want it back to default

Hope you like!

EDIT: Sorry bout the page expanding, it's not my fault

I've been trying to add formating to message list, and I can't seem to get it to add padding (using CSS).

   // Loop through each of the messages and format for display
    for ($y = 0; $y < $limit; $y++) {
        if ($order == "DESC") { $number = $total - $from - $y; }
        if ($order == "ASC") { $number = $from + $y + 1; }
        $guestbookrec = $etomite->fetchRow($rs);
        $poster = str_replace($type.$gap,"",$guestbookrec['subject']);
        $message = nl2br($guestbookrec['message']);
        $postdate = strftime($dateformat, $guestbookrec['postdate']+$server_offset_time);
        $output .= "<table class='GBMessageList' width='100%'>";
        $output .= "<tr><td class='GBMessagePoster' nowrap width='80%'>$poster</td>";
        $output .= "<td class='GBMessagePostDate' nowrap width='20%' align=right>$postdate</td>";
        $output .= "<tr><td colspan=\"2\"> </td>";
        $output .= "<tr><td colspan=\"2\">".hyperlink(smile($message))."</td>";
        $output .= "<tr><td width='80%'> </td>";
        $output .= "<td width='20%' nowrap align=right>".$_lang_guestbook["message"].": $number/$total</td>";
        $output .= "</table><br />";
    }

I would assume that adding a class 'GBMessageList' into CSS and applying padding, this would work. But it doesn't seem to for some reason, any ideas why? I've successfully does this to the add message form, and works a treat.

Why not simply add padding to the <td> element by using td { padding:5px; } in your CSS... Or you could use .GBMessageList td { padding:5px; } if you only wanted to change the padding for the td elements in the GuestBook entries... Just some food for thought...

.GBMessageList td {
border: 1px solid #000000; 
padding: 5px;
background-color: #CCCCFF;
}

.GBCommentBox {
border: 1px solid #000000; 
padding: 5px;
background-color: #CCCCFF;
}

.GBHeaderStyle {
font-size: 14px;
}

#smilie_box {
visibility: hidden;
position: relative;
left: 100px;
align: center;
padding: 5px;
margin: 22px 0 0 -26px;
