On the preview, when you click the back button you lose all the info that was typed in the form. By making a simple change in the [quote]preview_entry.php[/quote] file you can fix this.

All you need to do is find the input tag for the button and changed the part that reads [code]javascript:history.back()[/code] to [code]javascript:history.go(-1)[/code]

Hey,

http://wwp.icq.com/scripts/contact.dll?msgto=1111111111

the feature with the icq message does not really work. when
clicking on the icq icon the browser just downloads this .dll file.
is there another way to send a icq message to the respective user?

Thanks in advance

i keep getting this on the .shtml page that's suppose to have the poll: poll_process("newest"); ?>

what's wrong?

I'm trying to get the script to run on a Tripod site but I continue to get a script error:
gethostbyaddr trapped by operation mask at guestbook.pl line 200.
As I have no real experience with perl, I would appreciate any help anyone has to offer

Thanks in advance.

either use the mysql version, or the flat file version.

If you use the mysql version, then set up a database, username and pass.

If your server doesn't allow you to create mysql databases, (you have to contact them type of host) then use the flat file one. If you have a site with heavy traffic, move to a server where you can have control of your databases.

like the instructions say, upload, change mode, install, finish. You choose the version you want to use. That is not difficult.

This is normal, mine is usually something like this "nobody@192.92.126.135"

to get around this, you have to install http://marginalhacks.com/bin/forge_pipe

This will forge the from header to refect who it is from, at least so the auther of forge pipe says. have not tried it though ,as I don't really care. the email is to me

When Advanced Guestbook sends out notifications of new entries in the guestbook is the from part of the e-mail typically like Paul@UNKNOWN,MISSING_MAILBOX_TERMINATOR@.SYNTAX-ERROR.,UNEXPECTED_DATA_AFTER_ADDRESS@.SYNTAX-ERROR. or have I set up something wrong?

Cheers,

Tim

On my site, I have a global template. I can make one change to one file and it propagates the entire website. With Guestbook, you use the templates that are in the admin, and they are hard coded. one would have to change these templates every time they made a global change. What got me frustrated, was when I wanted to use a global php include program, and wanted it to work in guestbook too. Nothing works in guestbook, as far as making a call to an external php program. I discovered, if you stripped the templates, and have nothing in them except what is needed (JavaScript or whatever for popup image windows) and then wrap your template around the guestbook index.php, addentry.php, and comment.php with all your include statements such as include global header, include global menu, include global footer, include some global php program etc. I found that not only does guestbook run much faster, but also I can make the page output the way I want it, and it stays under the global website configuration of the entire site.

My advise, don't use the header and footer templates in the admin, and just make guestbook run your html direct.

und geht das beim froum genauso leicht oder wie? weil ich komm beim forum irgendwie nicht weiter.... hab einen provider gefunden (lycos) wo ich auch das gästebuch installiert habe...
aber irgendwie komm ich jetzt nicht weiter...

I too am having the same problem

Guestbook - Error
Cannot create ID file guest_id.txt in http://www.mydomain.net/usr/local/book. Please check your base directory.

We're not getting the path right but what is the path???????

The tutorial doesn't help in this are at all it just says: Set the correct paths and required urls. I would IF I knew thet they were!!!!!! ahahah HELP!!!!!

Ich denke der erste Schritte sollte sein, eine Provider (also einen Anbieter für deine Homepage) zu finden, welcher PHP 4.x.x und mySQL anbietet. Ich glaube Lycos bietet das an. Dann erkundigst du dich bei denen wie die logindaten für die Datenbank sind, also dbname, dbuser, dbpassword und gibts das dann in der config.inc.php ein. Danach die install.php ausführen. Wie du in der Readme gelesen hast, musst du auch die Orderrecht verändern, ob das bei lycos geht oder wichtig ist weiß ich nicht. Dann nurnoch als admin einloggen (default passwort) und das gästebuch einstellen und das admin passwort ändern.
Ist also ganz einfach ^_^

Ich habe eine Lösung gefunden, ich hoffe das ist sowas wie du es suchst.
Ich habe die Version : Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1

In der Datei lib/vars.class.php in Zeile 61 und 63 steht
61: $newtime = " $hour12:$minutes $ampm";
63: $newtime = " $hour:$minutes";

diese änderst du so:

61: $newtime = " - $hour12:$minutes $ampm";
63: $newtime = " - $hour:$minutes";

natürlich ohne die Zeilenangaben ^_^

allrighty then
I see that a lot have viewed, but none have posted
i wouldn't have minded if SOME ONE had said SOMETHING

seems i was not outa my tree
poll is still running flawlessly with over 2600 votes registered

so my thoughts on how to fix it were correct

if you guys had already known how to fix it, you can just call me a dumbass, its ok

if not
then i hope my input is usefull to someone

Nevermind, I'm giving up after 5 hours of trying everthing I can think of. I don't see how anyone has ever gotten this to work with the way it is set up.

All it is, is a poll. It shouldn't be this difficult.

1. How to delete a result text in main poll? I want to have a poll, that user see a result, only when they vote.

2. When you are voting the page jumps, it not stay in the same place. I want that page stay in the same position.

Please help, thx in advance, happy 2003
