I have AGB 2.3.1 and PostNuke (PN) 0.723 working together for anyone that is interested. The admin is not integrated in PN - would be nice, maybe I'll do that eventually. There are other GB's that are PN compliant:

A basic GB without the features of AGB can be found on:

www.smiatek.com

(seems to be based on simpler guestbook found on this site)

http://postguestbook.sourceforge.net

and a few others.

Details:

place the AGB files into a folder (e.g. Guestbook) under the PN modules directory

in admin/config.inc.php, change:

bug fix in index.php around line 24 - get rid of the period before the = sign so the image path is correct):

to this:

Goto the PN modules page, regenerate the module list, initialize and activate the Guestbook module (not sure if this is really necessary, but can't hurt

)

Add a menu item somewhere in one of the blocks (assuming you named the folder Guestbook:

Title: Guestbook

URL: [Guestbook]

Don't use {Guestbook}, the URL syntax is incorrect for this older module format.

or direct url:

You can see it running on my site under PN:

www.mikesjourneys.com

Seems to work/look ok under Winbloze with IE6/Mozilla 1.3/Opera 7.11, haven't tried anything else.

I got the same thing today. I solved it by typing this on my url/address line and going there directly, myself:

http://www.mywebsitename.com/guestbook/admin.php

the initial username and password were given to you on that same page as "your selected dateabase is: yournameguestbook"

Hope it helps - took me a few tries to figger it out

(of course, you have to put in your website name where I have "mywebsitename" typed)

i can't refreash the page toooooooooooooooo

I have put the php include on a page and i use php include to put that page on a different page but i get a error after voting...
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/sites/site117/web/layout.php:13) in /home/sites/site117/web/poll/poll_cookie.php on line 21

My ISP server uses CGIWrap to run cgi & perl scripts. I was told that my root directory was: "/home/kevint/www/" and therefore I've tried using /home/kevint/www/stats/logfiles" as my base_dir but can still only see the 02-2001.txt example Logfile when I run stat.pl.

When I use the following script, it returns: "/web/bigip-apache/htdocs/", which is so totally different from /home/kevint/www/

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Document Root is: ";
print $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};

Any ideas of what else I can do to make the seemingly great Access Stats scripts to work?

It must be before the echo...

Thank you, works fine now.

How can I change the template for a poll? I create a new template... but I'm not sure how to edit this part:

The name of the template I created is 'v1.' Also, I created 'v1' from the popup template.

Hello,

I cannot edit messages in Advanced Guestbook. When I click the link "edit", only the footer appears. That's the problem, and I don't know how to solve it. Anyone has a good idea?

It's almost like other servers, but i'll try to be as specific as possible

1st the things like in readme.txt:

1. Open the configuration file 'config.inc.php' with a text editor
and set up your database settings.
the name of your database is username_countryletters_db (ie caspar_nl_db, consult tripod help for details) you don't need a database password

now upload all files, it's the most easy to use an FTP program
now log into tripod and turn php and MySQL databases on

2. Create the tables for the guestbook:
mysql -u<user> -p<pass> <database> < guestbook.sql
Or use the script 'install.php' -> http://www.yourDomain.com/guestbook/install.php

just use the script

3. Give write permissions to these directories:

- public - 777 (drwxrwxrwx) (directory)
- tmp - 777 (drwxrwxrwx) (directory)

they already have write permissions on Tripod

4. The default account is:

Username : test
Password : 123

you can login with the admin.php and this password/username combination. Now you should be able to change the settings and your password

if this wasn't enough, just mail me @ webmaster@CasioX.tk

success!

Hello all...

I just downloaded the poll for my site...

But, er... what folder do I upload?

DB? or TextFile?

I uploaded both at first... but it says to alter the DB settings in the config.inc.php

Now, I have done this in the guestbook and it works fine...

But, which config file do I change?

and what do I change...

I can't find anything saying...

guestbook config.inc.php wrote:$GB_DB["dbName"] = "me_book";
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = "username";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "password";

I found this in the guestbook config file in admin, and changed it to my DB..

But I canna find anything like that in the poll

Please help

Thanx

Aaron

thanks, i appreciate that a lot, i'm still getting an error message though about "Can't connect to database" even after having done all that. if anyone knows why that is, i'd appreciate any input.

thanks again
