Well I only have my Lazarus files with me but line 41 is either connecting to the MySQL server or selecting the database. But from the looks of that error it is a problem with the MySQL server being unable to save the data to the appropriate file. Might be worth speaking to your hosts about it.

There is nothing in index.php. The only files that should need editing to remove the admin link are templates/body.php and templates/form.php

Lost me. I'll look into it tomorrow if nobody else has answered by then.

www.carbonize.co.uk/reset.zip download this, extract file, upload to guestbook, visit in your web browser, insert your MySQL password, run script. Username now test and password 123

try actually reading the Advanced guestbook forum. this thread will be deleted in a few days.

The file smilies.inc should be in the lang folder. If it's not try redownloading the guestbook.

Where blah.htm is the page with the poll in it. Adjust the sizes as necessary/

I think the problem is that you are putting the PHP required to use the poll into a template and the template just gets treated like a piece of text and is not passed to the PHP processor. One solution somebody came up with is to use an iframe where you want the poll and put the poll on a page of it's own which you point the iframe to.

Does your site consist of normal pages or is it a CMS? I mean is it just normal HTML pages or is everything made from templates?

Hm does your host actually have PHP support?

Somebody has abused the fact you have HTML enabled to put an iframe in an entry which then points to a PHP script which starts a download of a virus. You need to delete the last post you had as this is the malicious post and DISABLE HTML.

You only ran my upgrade script but you did not do the actual upgrade of the guestbook but you have now. Give me your username and password (by email) and I will go in and delete the post for you.

The messages you refer to for 2 are all kept in the relevant language file. Try lang/english.php

As for the form inputs the main ones aer in form.php with the others being in the relevant templates such as form_aim.php for the AIM input.

1 - entry.php

2 - header.php - The same header is used for most pages

3 - CSS is already used. It is defined in the header.php file.

4 - lost me on that one.

jimbo you are confusing spam with defacing. Lobster's problem was that someone had accessed his admin using the SQL injection exploit and edited an existing post. Posts edited via the admin are not subject to having the HTML removed and so they can post what they like. As for your problem with spam you can try my Human Verification mod to try and stop it. It's been successful for me so far.

I'm also wondering if you are not talking about referal spam which is a different matter. Referal spam is where they make a request to your site and spoof the refer. They do this as a lot of sites and blogs show the top refers as links and so they get their links on other peoples sites.
