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

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.

Any ideas on this? or am I missing something obvious?

   // 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 />";
    }

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...

where (how) can i delete some messages??

Within the Manager there is a messaging system, look in the menu. The guestbook entries are stored as messages, and can be deleted from there.

[healthresource]

Since guestbook can be signed by anyone,it might happen tht one of your rivals or enemies drop in and abuse you thru guestbook.So,is it possible to have a modification in GuestBook so that all posted comments need to be approved by webmaster before they showup?You can't be 24hr online for 7days to keep checking and deleting such messages.

This feature could well be a great boon.My friend recently had similar trouble on guestbook he was using and he had no option but to block all dialup users from a certain region and he wasn't happy about it,so I thought may be we can request this feature here for our protection.

If not at present,can this please be considered for future releases?

thanks,

niskumar

I intsalled this guestbook and it work fine, but I want all headers, buttons and forms to have right position. Now all they stay on the left. How to do this?

[Leo316]

Yapp, sweet guestbook . Just wanted to say thanks, it works like a charm for me. I worked it into this site I made for a friend, see it in action here:

www.mein-mittelalter.de

As I said, great work . Congratulations!!
Leo

BTW: Is it possible to adress two gbadmins (people to receive the messages in the manager that is) when a new entry is made in the gb?

Post deleted. I figured out that the problem had nothing to do with the Guestbook..

Hey, how can I get the smilies to spread over 2 lines, right now it Fubars the page: http://guider.buildtolearn.net/rolstoelten...ew_message=TRUE


EDIT:
Nevermind, the CSS edit just kicked in. Question however: any spam problems so far?

Edited by DeniseDD, 15 June 2006 - 07:12 PM.

[DeniseDD]

And a technical question:

How can I get rid of those 2 empty lines between the button "Bekijk volgende pagina" and the message list?

[DeniseDD]

And a hint for all who want to get notified of new entries. Just post the URL to your GB at www.change-detection.com. Usually within 24 hours of a change an email arrives.

This site must have shut down in the mean time. I am looking for that function exactly - to get an email when new posts are been made to the guestbook. Is it possible to set the manager section up to send an email to admin (in this case me!) when a new message arrives in the manager inbox? Or is there another way?

Pls help!

Hi,

I've used this guestbook on several sites and cannot figure out how to make the input fields dissapear and just make a link appear.

I would like visitors to have the guestbook straight away, and then when they click the link "Write a new message" or "Schrijf een nieuw bericht" the come to the page where they can leave a new message.

Thx for the help.

Try this for charlies-gent.be/nieuw:

<a href="[~56~]">Write a new message.</a>

This should then link to this page:
