You can change that information in the admin section under 'General Settings'.

Check your chmod settings for your files. sounds like it may not have permisions to write.

Does anyone here have knowledge about how to get the guestbook working in phpwebsite 0.9.x (http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/).

I tryed and can get it worked in a new windows, but not as a part of phpwebsite 0.9x. There are some fixed version from ealier editons, but they have also some trouble.

I don't get it done at this moment, are here some experts, who could help me?

Thank you,

I have an issue with Advanced Poll v2.02.
I have istalled it fine. I get an error
After voting I get the following error:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by
(output started at ...) in ..poll_cookie.php on line ...

I have made sure the first line of code is:

<?php require "poll_cookie.php"; ?>

But I still get the error. Help Please.

I took a further look into the code, when I was reading some stuff here in the forum regarding my problems.
And what comes out:

You can make a poll, publish it forever or for a amount of days...
Ok so far.

Normally it would mean that a lockout-period should be hooked on the number of days a poll is to be published and not as a generic setting somewhere else.
In that way a person can only vote 1 x for 1 published poll and not again after let's say 48 hours...

All that's left for me now, is to screw up the scripts to make the generic time-out to be 99999 hours and make a reset button to clear the poll_ip table when publishing a new poll....

Same flaw seems to apply for cookies too, as it only hooks up on the generic lockout-period instead of the publish-duration of the poll.

It also means that you would have to make a "time-left" timer, so if you would vote on day 5 of the 6 day duration the poll is published, he/she should not be locked out for 6 days after this vote, but for only 1 day as a new poll (or none) should come after one day......

How can I change the title of the poll from Advanced Poll?

I got it.

I managed to get everything installed, but I can't seem to figure out how to create my first poll. Can anyone help me out?

I have tried all the paths,
c:/inetpub/wwwroot/links
/links
/wwwroot/links
none of them are workin for me, its xp pro with iis 5.1
i set up the permissions so that the txt file can be written to, and im still havin the same problem.
i see alot of others havin the same problem too, and this is the only thread that had an answer.
i have used alot of pearl before to set up cs stats pages on servers. i have never had this problem before im not sure what im doing wrong.
can anyone please help?

Help...

When i post a entry in my guestbook, ig shows 1 hour wrong time...
if I log into "administration"-mode the date is correct....

Anyone have a tip?

Submit function: FOR GODS SAKE, check your php.ini file. There is a line specifying whether HTTP uploads should be allowed. It looks like this (line 387 of 881 in my php.ini on RedHat 7.3):

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = Off

This MUST be "On". Of course. Took me ages to figure out as I couldn't find any entries in my log files.

Preview function: As one Swedish guy allready pointed out, if you use some HTML entities in your $LANG["FormSubmit"] or $LANG["FormPreview"], this will break the preview function.

Also check permissions on directories "tmp" and "public" as these are required to have read+write+execute permissions for owner, group and world. A "chmod 777 temp && chmod 777 public" will do the job. Most FTP programs also support this command, typically available via right-click on files or folders. But the server MUST support this command as well.

Hope this helps.

This worked for me!!!!!

THANKS!!!!!!

See Thorsten's solution in http://www.proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1392

did you create a database? and I am not talking about through the install script either. That has to be done separtley. usually through your website control panel......ask your webhost provider if you are unsure.

you should know if you can create a mysql database, if would have been part of the advertisment blitz by your host when you signed up

I am very new at this and I am trying to learn...
I try to change the bacground (that works) but I have a table int he page and when I need to put the script on the table, everything goes wrong.

ANy sugestion?
or Do you know where cna I find some intruction on how to do this?

Thanks

just change the background in the template files. or just use includes in the main scripts and strip the templates......the templates are kind of useless if you are running a global template of your own, using an include directory
