One of the input fields does not seem to be valid

OK, I have spent all day trying to fix my guestbook after upgrading (via cPanel) to AG 2.3.3-1, but now I've stumbled upon an error I don't know how to handle: Every time I try to post an entry I get the dreaded "One of the input fields does not seem to be valid" error messages. I have set the min/max message length in the admin panel to 6/500 but I still get the error.

Another strange thing is that I can't put more than 30 characters in the e-mail field which means that most addresses will get chopped.

The guestbook can be found at http://www.cartesiuscreations.com/forum/index.php

Any help is highly appreciated!

Would it be possible for me to have access to the admin section of your guestbook?

Of course, I've PM:ed you login and pass.

Thanks!

When you updated to 2.3.3 from 2.3.1 you did not change ALL the files. You should of replaced ALL the files EXCEPT admin/config.inc.php. The problem lies in the new hash that he has added as a minor anti spam method (that only stops some of the spam). The problem lies in form.php and addentry.php.

Aha, I see. When I updated I did so via my ISP's cPanel but the upgrade didn't bite as some of the files got the appendix *.up. At first the guestbook didn't even load but once I had replaced the offending files it appeared to be working. Until I tried to post an entry that is.

Can I just download the latest version of AG from here and replace all files except admin/config.inc.php?

Yup

Thanks, it worked! The guestbook is now functioning again, but there's still a 30 character limit in the e-mail field (my regular e-mail address is 32 characters) . Any ideas why this limit?

Thanks again!

Nope. Was one of the few things I changed in the database along with the length of the guests useragent. if you have phpMyAdmin you can change it in there.

OK, I have phpMyAdmin but I haven't a clue as to where or what to change

you'd need to look in the table called book_pics for th appropriate entry.

That looks scary... Mind you, I'm a total newbie when it comes to stuff like this

I've attached a link to a screen grab of phpMyAdmin - is it the "width" one I should change? The value there is 11.

Sorry to bother you like this but I really appreciate your help!

Click on Visa (I assume that means browse) and this will show you all the entries in that table. You then need to find the one who's msg_id matches that of the post the image is with.

Sorry for not replying earlier but I got sidetracked...

Anyway, no matter how much I look I can't find anything in book_pics for controlling the length of e-mail address field.

Sorry, you lost me completely there. (There's an image I need to change?)

No that was to do with properly removing uploaded pictures. The length of the email address is controlled via the html. Look in form.php for name="gb_email" and in that tag you will see an attribute that says maxlength="30". Just change that to 45.

Yes, that was it! Many thanks!
