Congratulations Auron.

I hope you're doing all right these days and aren't working to hard.
I talked to Spor a while back too.

This brings back memories.

I just popped in to say "Hi"

And to all the people who help out "Thanks for the Help".
Sometimes people forget all the work everybody does and just take it for granted.

I made this tutorial 2 years ago to add the extra fields
I know it works, the only problem at the moment is that when you preview the entry the extra field isn’t written away.

I don’t have any time at the moment and I stopped support for the guestbook.
So I never looked to fix this problem

To use it:

1. Import the table (with phpMyadmin).
2. Change “extra1” and “extra field:” with the name you want, “extra1 is the database name and “extra field:” is what the guestbook shows the guests.
3. Replace “Your_picture.gif"” with the image you want to see.
4. Just follow the instructions.

Import (with phpMyadmin) this table into your database:

Open index.php

Find:

Add after:

Open addentry.php

Find:

Add after:

Open templates/entry.php

Find:

Add after:

Open templates/form.php

Add after:

Open templates/previewentry.php

Open admin/panel_easy.php

Find:

Add after:

Open lib/add.class.php

You can make a back using phpmyadmin.
This is supported bij most hosting providers thru your c-panel.

Hi Auron,

Nice to see you again.
Still helping people with the poll I see.
I like your version 6.
I want a new website to just don't know which way to go

@Carbonize: I have send you the version we made.
I know how you feel, that's why we started with the guestbook I send you.
We even contacted the author ones to talk about the changes we made, but he didn't seem interested anymore.
Auron was one of those members to and did one hell of a job helping us.

Thanks Auron for the all the help and support back then.

Take care,

Jam'n

This is the text from the ultimate advanced guestbook that was made somewhere in the first quarter of 2003.
As a result of some users wanted more from it and where looking for some extra protection.

This guestbook was made with the help of Carbonize

, Freddy, Jared, Spor and Jam'n.

1. Works great it has already blocked allot of bots

2. Email address are converted to ascii code now, but there are plain readable. As a test open the source code of a guestbook and you can read the emailadres.
With this option you only get digits.

4. There is a script out that uses the guestbook internal command for posting. You could sign hundreds of guestbook in a couple of minutes. So we changed the way the guestbook writes the entries to the database.

I see that your version is will be more advanced as the old version we all made together.

Nice job.

Great Job Carbonize,

I just tested your guestbook and it seems you forgot to add the Windows Messenger and Yahoo entry to the private tables.
There is also the double smilie (the one with the smile) error.

It seems you guy's didn't know this existed:

This new guestbook update includes:

1 spider bot referral check. guestbook checks spiders against a list of all known bots. If found, they are redirected to the dynamic spam trap, where they get fed thousands of bogus email addresses. If Spam spider shows up at page, Admin gets emailed with user IP address and the bot they were using.

2 email addresses are converted on the fly to raw ASCII.

3 Addentry.php file is now protected with a human verification system, that makes guests place numbers into an input box, stopping robot spam posting. The numbers are generated at random, and is a png image.

4 changed the default gb_action method found in all advanced guestbooks to my own action method. backup for human verification system.

5 ICQ online status.

6 Windows Messenger and Yahoo addon.

7. And lots of bug fixes for version 2.3.1 including the SQL injection problem.

Ich spreche kein Deutsch.
So ist es im Englisch

Hello, there are two ways you can do it, one by using the style sheet and creating a class for the comment text or by hard coding the template.

second way like this:

which is black if you want white then use: #FFFFFF

doing it in a style sheet you would do this.
open your style sheet and put this in, at the bottom after }

.com { font-size : 10px; color : #000000;}
Which again is black, then in com.php template put this

Thanks for the update

There is also a file with all the mods already in place I can give you the link if you want it.
