I have incorporated the advanced guestbook into my own web page by editing the header after reading a post from carbonize, all has worked out well, except the font sizes are a little too big now, if I try to change them in Admin styles nothing happens. If I look in the header php I also cannot see a way to change it, I do have a style sheet in there for the link styles but the other css in there is for other parts of the site. Could this be whats screwing it up, this is the header php,

The guestbok's font sizing worked by putting the sizes you set in the admin area into a css block. I dealt with this problem by editting the entry template and replacing the class attributes with as taken from the header.php.

Is this where I need to paste the code in the entry php, <td class="font2" valign="top" width="8%"><b>$id)</b></td>, if so what about the font 1 size? Just a bit confused.

Thanks

thats just an example. You'd have to use tb_font_1 for font1 and tb_font_2 for font2 or add them to the style sheet you are alread using.

Thanks for your reply, I have tried what you said but the text size doesn't change, do you have any other ideas that I could try? must be my style sheet screwing things up, but I need to keep the links on the page the same size.

Thanks

Did you edit the entry.php template? Other than that just add the font1, font2 entries to your CSS.

I haven't added them to the style sheet, the only external style sheet I have is the one for the link styles, this is the entry php

<tr bgcolor="$bgcolor">
<td width="32%" valign="top">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td style="font-family: $VARS[font_face]; font-size: $VARS[tb_font_2]; color: $VARS[text_color]" valign="top" width="8%"><b>$id)</b></td>

<td width="92%"> <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/ip.gif" width="14" height="14" alt="$LANG[AltIP]">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/browser.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="$row[browser]">&nbsp;
$URL
$ICQ
$AIM
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="font1"><b>$row[name]</b>&nbsp;$GENDER</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="font1">$row[email]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="font2">$LANG[FormLoc]:<br>$row[location]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="68%" class="font1" valign="top">
<div align="left" class="font3"><img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/post.gif" width="9" height="9">$DATE&nbsp;$HOST
<a href="$GB_COMMENT"><img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/edit.gif" width="18" height="13" border="0" alt="$LANG[AltCom]"></a>
$EMAIL
</div>
<hr size="1"><div align="left">
$USER_PIC $MESSAGE
</div>
$COMMENT
</td>
</tr>

could you point me in the right direction where to edit it, and what to place where. Sorry to sound so dumb.

Sorted, I just pasted the required code from the original header php into the modified one and removed the css.

Thanks for your help Carbonize.
