thanks for the reply. I assumed I would have to get them from him somehow, and unzip them. It won't be that difficult to do, I'm new to web design, but not that new. Or perhaps, I might just install it directly to my computer. Anyway, thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

shit this is not "?" letter but "a with polish ' down of letter" ... nevermind how i can fix problem with polish letters ?

One more thing Auron.
There is a problem with one polish sign in the poll.
I put letter "?" (polish language) and on the site we can se some strange object ... Rest of polish letters works good.
How i can fix that ?

thx

Why users cant see comments ?

If he installed it on his site, you just can't grab the files, download them to your hard drive and upload them.

You have to download clean guestbook files to your computer either from the Free Scripts section of this site or from your friend, unzip them, upload them to your site, install them thus creating the database there, then make the changes.

If you're really new at web design, it may not be a simple process for you. Maybe your friend can help.

Those files have to exist in order for the poll to work or even to display. There are several variations of the poll in various sub-directories, each containing the same file name. They are similar, but not all the same. That would make me think that you perhaps didn't upload the file you changed into the right sub-directory, since now you've deleted them and everything still works

Looking at your source code you appear to be using either the default or the plain poll.

The default files would be in Poll\db\templates\default and the plain files in Poll\db\templates\plain. I'm assuming you have the same directory set up on your site. If not, you'll need to find the path to where the files are stored.

Try changing one of the files (I would suggest display_head.html) in default and uploading it to the default sub-directory on your site. Go to the Poll and reload the page to see if it changes. If it doesn't, try doing the same with the file in plain. Upload it to the plain sub-directory, etc.

If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss since I made the same changes on my test poll and the font size changed accordingly

That should have worked.

Really? Unfortunately, it didn't.

You made the changes to those files and uploaded them to your site.? You checked they didn't work then you uploaded the old files?

Yes. I made the changes to those files, uploaded them, then noticed no changes. Next, I deleted those files altogether and nothing happened as well.

You can see what I mean here: http://jcsm.org/denom/ . Right now, those files don't exist, but the font is VERY small.

Can anyone help with this? It would be nice if a font attribute was present in the control panel. Nonetheless, I'll do whatever it takes to change it. It's hard to believe that anyone can live with such a small font.

Sincerely,
Jay

I'm new to website design. A friend of mine installed the Guestbook for me @ www.madbeats.com/jedwards...

However, I want to modify text, specifics, etc, besides what is allowed through administration. I want to have the actual guestbook in my web as an .html

What do I need to do? I don't know how to get it from /jedwards to my server, and then on my computer? It may sound real easy, but I'm still new to this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I'M USING DEMO #3

I've just voted on the newest poll (Let's call it Poll #5), and the Results for Poll #5 are displayed. I then scroll down to where the dates/links are displayed for previous polls. Let's say I then click the link for Poll #2. Poll #2 comes up just fine. Now here's the problem...

When I click on "view results" for Poll #2, the Results for Poll #5 are displayed. This of course is automatically done. Why doesn't it automatically show the Results for the Correct Poll regardless of which poll it is?

<?php

/* path */
$poll_path = "/catch/db";

require $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
require $poll_path."/include/class_pollcomment.php";
require $poll_path."/include/class_plist.php";
$CLASS["db"] = new polldb_sql;
$CLASS["db"]->connect();

$php_poll = new plist();

/* poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("plain");
$php_poll->set_max_bar_length(125);
$php_poll->set_max_bar_height(10);
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['poll_id'])) {
echo $php_poll->poll_process($HTTP_GET_VARS['poll_id']);
} else {
echo $php_poll->poll_process("newest");
}

/* poll list */
$php_poll->set_template("poll_list");
$php_poll->set_date_format("m/d/Y");
echo $php_poll->view_poll_list();
echo $php_poll->get_list_pages();
?>

Of course I have this code in the /* poll*/:
echo $php_poll->poll_process("newest");

Is it because of this that it's also displaying the current poll 'Results', even when viewing older polls?

Do I need to additionally code something else? Perhaps I missed something related to this problem here in the forum?

PLEASE HELP

That should have worked.

You made the changes to those files and uploaded them to your site.? You checked they didn't work then you uploaded the old files?

ALGUIEN QUE ME PUEDA AUDAR CON LA TRADUCCION DE ESPAÑOL DEL Advanced Guestbook 2.2 POR FAVOR.. ENVIENMELO A ricardo@myriamfans.com MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU AYUDA DE ANTEMANO

Thank you for your help Auron. Very Much Appreciated !

I just tried both of your suggestions, but neither worked.

First, I changed all of the font sizes to 4. Next, I just deleted all of those files you mentioned. Nothing helped.

Do you have any more ideas?

Sincerely,
Jay

My friend's guestbook (this used to be my domain; I do the maintenance for her, though) has been "hacked" -- it renders in Polish (?) and neither she nor I can get in with the login set up for her. I was able to download a fresh copy of the guestbook. I didn't want her to lose her guest posts, so I exported a *.sql copy of the original database. I then created a new database and new user, modified the config.inc.php file. It choked on the install.php script so I just went into PHPMyAdmin and imported the *.sql file back.

The Polish language was still there so I went in and deleted any references to any language other than English in the /lang folder. So now it's back to English again but it wouldn't let me logon. I cut and pasted the book_auth data from the freshly downloaded guestbook.sql file and pasted it into my database. I can logon initially, but when I click on ANY link in the Admin Panel, the login screen appears and it won't let me login.

Any thoughts? Plus I get a weird error when I point to the guestbook URL:

http://www.z-gal.com/zguest/

Help! Also, any ideas how this happened? I don't think it was hacked necessary. But what else would explain its sudden conversion to Polish?
