Sounds like the usua knee jerk reaction from an ISP who doesn't bother to check things out. Had a similar problem with lunarpages telling everyone to remove Advanced Guestbook just because of the 2.2 login exploit.

One of the downsides of using phpBB like this site and my own do is that it is a target of a lot of nwanted attention.To this end it is regularly being updated to fix exploits that have been found. This does not mean that it's makers cannot write good script but that in any large project you are going to have bugs and security issues. So long as you have not modified your copy of phpBB you can simply just upload the changed files otherwise you will have to manually edit the files.

Email me so we can discuss it further.

Because the guestbook uses a header to send the poster back to the guestbook after they have posted.

Nothing I can do about that forum requiring membership, I'm just a moderator. Anyway you could remove all surplus HTML from the header.php file so all that is left is javascript and then use the includes method. I must state that the includes method (putting the include code at the top and bottom of index.php etc) will cause an error when posting comments.

Lines 281 to 284 of lib/add.class.php but it doesn't use a header as all the HTML is in success.php except the copyright info in the footer.

The message you refer to uses the template success.php.

If you read the sticky thread at the top of this forum, the one titled read this before posting advanced guestbook questions you will find links to pages intructing you on how to add a simple anti spam system to the guestbook and other modifications.

I don't need a guestbook for people to tell me to go to hell, I get that pretty much everywhere I go.

If you trust me you can email me your cPanel details and I will get your MySQL details for you.

If you have cPanel check in there for your MySQL details or speak to your host. If you have another script that uses MySQL you will find the details in it's folder somewhere.

Your database name goes in
$GB_DB["dbName"] = "";

This you can probably leave as is
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";

his is your username for the database
$GB_DB["user"] = "root";

This is your password for your database
$GB_DB["pass"] = "";

You need to edit your config.inc.php file which is in the admin folder. You need to fill in your MySQL details so that it knows which database to connect to and the user details for it.

If you downloaded from here then possibly. There is a version of Advanced Guestbook tat has been specifically altered to work in PhpWebSite as it required some altering to work.
