I've been using Advanced Guestbook for a long time now and i love it. But i use it a lot for sharing funny video's and stuff but like 9 outta 10 links arent placed in the homepage field because its too long and gets cut off or completely not shown.
How can i increase this field so that the homepage link always work no matter how long the link is you insert?

In form_url.php or just form.php you'd have to change the maxlength to maxlength="50" and then you would have to edit the database using something like phpmyadmin. Lazarus actually has a agcode for posting Youtube etc.

Yeah Lazarus looks cool but i dont wanna lose all my msg's or have to re-do the template, If i recall correctly you were the one who helped me gettin my template right in the first place
But thanks, i changed the maxlength in form.php (I had it at 999 but that didnt work). I forgot about goin in to phpmyadmin and changing the fields. I could find some fields in book_data and book_private saying "url" where i changed the varchar max length to 255 but still the url gets cut off/doesnt get shown at all.
What am i doing wrong?
Eurm whenn i have the maxlength in form.php to 50 i can't even enter half a url in the input field whenn entering. Let alone make it display properly. So i put that back to 999 and now i can at least insert long urls, but they just wont show.

You have maxlength set to 255 and the database field set to 255 ?
