Hey Carbon,

I followed these to the letter (except the last line, where you said to find the line starting with val; it's actually eval). Once I saved and tried to access my guestbook, I got the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in .../guestbook/lib/gb.class.php on line 133

My website is http://johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/

Is this common with this mod? I am certain that I didn't make any other changes to the lib/gb.class.php file outside of the instructions.

Thanks,
Johnny

Hey Carbonize,

Just a note on the last entry: I removed the code from the last instruction and the guestbook is accessible now. I still haven't completed the whole process, but I'm not stuck without a guestbook now.

Can you please help me finish the mod??

Thanks,
Johnny

Whoops I boobooded and missed off the closing )'s from the str_replace functions. Fixed now

Hey Carbonize,

I am still pretty new to php... I have had a consistent issue with the img's on my guestbook not loading. In particular, the textbar on the bottom of the screen leaves a blank where the source should be (i.e. it should say http://johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/img, but it says http:///img)

I was told to change my config.inc.php file, so I did and that worked.. for that session. I made the following change:

$GB_PG["base_url"] = ""; /* e.g htpp://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/img */

Now that I have logged out and back in, my pics are gone again... Can you tell me exactly what should be in the config.inc.php file??

Thanks,
Johnny

Correction!! My config file shows:

$GB_PG["base_url"] = ""; /* e.g http://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/img */

Still doesn't work...

Thanks

You are meant to put the path in the "'s

You lost me on that last entry... what do you mean?

Thanks,
Johnny

you put
it should be

Strange... After adding this, all the entries in my guestbook that did not have an email address have been altered to show the email address of the latest visitor. When I go into the Admin panel, these entries show the email field is blank...

I added a test entry and it is fine with no email address, but now I need to figure out how to remove the address from the other entries.

Thats weird because this code only alters the email addresses as they are being pulled from the database to be added to the output.

You're not kidding weird... it's a mystery to me!

Just fixed an error in the code I posted. The error was in the code that goes in lib/gb.class.php.

Carbonize, I signed John and Rachel's guestbook on November 3 without leaving an email address.

http://johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/

Someone else signed their book on November 9 with an email address. It has added their email address to my post.

Just noticed another error after visiting their site. Should be
i forgot as I remove all image link borders in my CSS.

I see what you mean, it's put the email in twice. I think I know whats happened. Slap my wrists

I forgot to empty the variables and so it will use the same info again until it finds a new email address. Will fix now
