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.

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.

[moomoo]

hello,

i used GuestBook 3 as our site guestbook, and there is only one(1) thing i do not like i.e. smilies on the guestbook or messages have a square box on each of the message posted. can anyone help me on how to disable the square smilies.

I have already check the *.gif images, and non of the images have a square box within it. So, i would be very thankful if someone could help me with this.

Thanks and regards.

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:

Yeaaah!!!

Some words in russian - translate it yourself!!!
Snippet without any smiles and forms for it.

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: MoZz (based on original scripts GuestBook(with Captcha)&GuestBook3)

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

OMG! Can't believe that anyone still cares about the guestbook. Thank you, man! ))

But, I get this:

Quote

GuestBook User/Manager not found... Check your settings...

regular error, that doesn't explain much. Etomite 1.1., i call snippet with [GuestBook!] command..

[Ralph]

Checking the code for $_lang_guestbook["error"] = "GuestBook User/Manager not found... Check your settings..."; and then looking for where $_lang_guestbook["error"] is located lower in the code you will find:

// If no valid GuestBook owner is found display error message...
else $output = $_lang_guestbook["error"];

This means that the default GuesBook admin doesn't exist... You can assign the proper admin in the snippet call as described in the self contained snippet documentation...

Or modify:

$defaultadmin = "GuestBook"; // Default GuestBook admin to use if $gbadmin not passed

Or create the manager user "GuestBook" and give them permission to access messages...
