Nope. You have HTML switched off so nothing to worry about.

catfishh_agbook2 sounds more like the name of your database and not the database server. Try leaving it as localhost.

If they are not identical they will be similar enough for you to easily edit.

From what you say about not losing your guests info I guess you have a back up of the old database. You should be able to use the backup to create and populate the tables in your new database.

I do believe that Auron is working on an Installation guide. Is there anything in particular you need help with?

Shouldn't the base_url be set to http://yourdomain.com/modules/guestbook though?

Here are the instructions for Advanced Guestbook 2.2

Again choose a simple word to use then put it where I put WORD

open up addentry.php

find

if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

replace it with

if (isset($_POST["gb_actionWORD"])) {

then replace

echo $gb_post->process($HTTP_POST_VARS["gb_action"]);

with

echo $gb_post->process($HTTP_POST_VARS["gb_actionWORD"]);

close and save the file

open templates/form.php

replace BOTH instances of

name="gb_action"

with

name="gb_actionWORD"

save and close the file

open templates/preview_entry.php and again replace

name="gb_action"

with

name="gb_actionWORD"

Save and close the file.

Ok first instructions for 2.3.1. Instructions for 2.2 will be in second post.

First you need to decide on a simple word to use such as 123 or spamless and where I put WORD you put the word you have chosen.

open up addentry.php

find

if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["gb_action"])) {

replace it with

if (isset($_POST["gb_actionWORD"])) {

then replace

echo $gb_post->process($HTTP_POST_VARS["gb_action"]);

with

echo $gb_post->process($_POST["gb_actionWORD"]);

close and save the file

open index.php and do exactly the same as you did above.

open templates/form.php

replace BOTH instances of

name="gb_action"

with

name="gb_actionWORD"

save and close the file

open templates/preview_entry.php and again replace

name="gb_action"

with

name="gb_actionWORD"

Save and close the file.

BTW Yahoo and MSN fields will mess up private entries as they were not added to the private table.

They ended up putting the same post in about 10 threads. Wouldn't be so bad but their instructions only apply to Mozilla/Firefox (about 10% of internet users) and had nothing to do with most of the threads problems.

OK it's official, you aer a moron. Same post in 5 threads. I'm going to delete the others.

And if they, like 90% of internet users, are not using Firefox or Mozilla?

The admin loop happens when you upgrade your files from Advanced Guestbook 2.2 to 2.3.1. To fix it download www.carbonize.co.uk/AG/upgrade.zip to upgrade your database tables but you will lose pictures. The alternative is to either apply the patch yourself or goto www.carbonize.co.uk/AG and download the pre patched file.

By login loop do you mean it logs you in but as soon as you click a link it logs you out?

BTW the site you mention had three hacked entries one of which took you to a fake Yahoo login screen which i have now reported.

Search for T_LNUMBER and quickly. I'm not repeating my advice as it's all in there but basically you have been hacked and ata aguess the url.php file has been altered.

basically yes. Most pages are made in three sections

HEADER
CONTENT
FOOTER

Your header usually contains such things as your banner and menu. The footer is just to close all the HTML. The content is the bit that varies on every page and this is where you want the guestbook to be.
