If you would add index.php to the end of the url and configure it that way all works just fine. http://www.gowan.me.uk/guestbook/index.php

Unfortunately Advanced Guestbook is over 2 years old. I have just put the finishing touches to a beta version of Advanced Guestbook 2.3.2 which I was hoping JTD would test for me but he doesn't answer his friggin emails. Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 is very secure, I have been running it for 2 years without incident except for spam which I have dealt with and help others deal with.

Right now JTD has enough problems with his host *AGAIN* To even consider trying to get something new to run. Besides that you didnt send a download link.

On top of that he or she didnt even bother to leave a link to the Guestbook.

They probably are not really turkish.

Well gee thanks ya bloody brit.

Carb wasnt referring to you in that post. He was speaking to some goober who wanted money to help you.

You can do that with a meta tag. Nothing new there.

<META name="ROBOTS" content="index,nofollow">

I wonder, though, why does your guestbook posting page not have your sidebars? Is that by choice, or does that page not work for you either (that's the one that I'm having trouble with...)

Go take alook at my addentry.php again. About a 5 second fix to make it look like the index.php page. And I must give credit to carb for teaching me what limited php I do know.

That is also why I do a backup each and everyday. All my websites and all my mysql databases.

Well I was just showing you how mine was done. As far as what page I have no idea. I have two files header.php and footer.php. That are called up in the index.php with the code I showed you. And as far as the administration page part I dont use it myself. I edit all my files via FTP. Since enableing permissions far enough in the admin section is just asking to have something changed for you if you ever do get hacked for some reason.

Did you also put something like this in your index.php file ?
<?php include('/home/xxxxxx/public_html/guestbook/header.php'); ?>
above goes at the top of the index.php and this goes at the bottom.
<?php include('/home/xxxxxx/public_html/guestbook/footer.php'); ?>

Click my guestbook link below. Works like a charm.

Also if you made regular backups of your websites and database you really havnt lost a thing.
