Whoops my bad

Forgot I had updated the HTTP vars in my script. Let me fix the instructions. $HTTP_POST_VARS is the deprecated method and has been replaced with $_POST but both do exactly the same thing.

BTW I have now been using this method for seven days on my own guestbook and logged all entries classed as spam. It has stopped 52 attempted automated postings (spam entries).

Oh and sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I never got an email saying this thread had received a reply

Check your settings in the config file.

I already have the code for retrieving the last x number of entries I just don't know how PHP Nuke blocks work meaning how they integrate or get added to the admin.

Slaps eahola^^^ on the hand for not signing in.

Anuro needs to set their base_url variable. This is found in admin/config.inc.php and is in the format of http://YOURDOMAIN.COM/guestbook and not as it says in the file.

eahola your guestbook link is a 404. There is a bug in the function used to generate the base_url when it is not specified. You can see this in action on Anuro's by visiting their link and then visiting it again but with index.php on the end.

Actually I found Eahola's guestbook. A look at the code shows that your problem is that you set the base url but included the index.php on the end. For you it should be http://www.shellbird.com/GuestBook whilst Anuro's base_url needs to be http://www.albemigrant.com/guestbook.

It always LOGS the hostname but only displays it on the guestbook if you tell it to. You can see the Hostname when you look in the posts in Admin.

Unfortunately your domain is blocked by my works proxy. If it's not been fixed when I get home in 5 1/2 hours I'll remove the post. Your other option is, if your host provides it, to use phpMyAdmin to delete the entry straight from the database. Are you running Advanced Guestbook 2.2? Do you HTML enabled?

When you unzip the zip file it should all be in a folder already (I think). Just upload that folder. Yes I do mean your windows start button and then run or you can simply type the url into your web browser.

I would sooner you try it yourself and then possibly cock up rather than never try at all otherwise you will never know nor learn.

1 - Download the guestbook from this site.
2 - Extract it from it's zip.
3 - Open the config.inc.php file found in the admin folder.
4 - Fill in your MySQL details. Your host can provide these.
5 - Save the file.
6 - Upload the entire guestbook folder to your site.
7 - Goto Start and then Run and type in www.YOURSITE.COM/guestbook/install.php replacing the YOURSITE.COM with your actual sites address and the guestbook for the name of the folder.
8 - Follow the simple instructions on that page.

Install what?

Looks to me like the include path is wrong. Auron is the Advanced Poll expert but does it let you configure the paths?

That mean you have fixed it now?

Phishing is when they send an email claiming to be your bank or paypal etc asking you to fill in your details as they are upgrading thir system or something stupid.

hosts are renowned for messing with the scripts they give away with their packages. Yes just overwrite everything except your config file although it may be better to edit the new config file and use that instead.

Did you download the guestbook from here or did your hosts supply it? It may be worth redownloading it and overwriting your existing copy (except the config.inc.php file) with the new one to see if that fixes it.
