I see all the graphics and had no problem signing it.

Hi Carl,

Did you dou this?

First go to the directory where you have unzipped the guestbook and go to the admin directory.
Locate “config.inc.php” open it with notepad.
You should see the following:

<?php
/* database settings */

$GB_DB["dbName"] = "";
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = "root";
$GB_DB["pass"] = "";

Now type the following:

$GB_DB["dbName"] = "test"; Type here the name of your new database ( In my case “test”)
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost"; Leave this alone (localhost) Some hosting providers use a different setting for the host like Yahoo they us “mysql” instead of “localhost”
$GB_DB["user"] = "root"; Type here your MySQL administrator name, if you didn’t make one when you installed MySQL then it should be “root”
$GB_DB["pass"] = ""; Type here your MySQL password, if you didn’t make one when you installed MySQL then it should be blank.

There was a website with a script where you could post a message and sign a couple of hundred guestbooks at once.

The site was reachable thru http://212.98.150.6/ but the site is restricted now.

You could ban the complete IP range in your htaccess as 212.98

that will ban his entire ISP.
He uses a dynamic IP address, and blocking the actual referring site will not help.

Don't worry, it is an ISP from Beirut, Lebanon. I don't think too many people are concerned about Lebanese visiting your website.

Here is what you have to do:

1.) open /guestbook/lib/gb.class.php in your favorite ascii editor
and look for the Jumpmenu code. It starts around line 73

Replace http://www.mydomain.com/ with your homepage URL

2.) Now to add a javascript function to the guestbook header
go to your templates folder and find header.php and add this between the <head>Put below code somewhere between these</head> tags

It works, I have tried it. for the other links though, you will not be using the "Go" button, as it is an auto-jump select type

I don't use it on my site, because I don't need it.
---------------------------------------------------------
ps. The Java code is there for when you select Back To Home you don’t have to press the go button, it automaticly jumps.

If you mean from the guestbook, I think it was in

lib/gb.class.php and somewhere between line 60 and 120

I'm sad to announce that http://www.Spisas.com no longer exist.
The site will be offline for unknown period of time.

I wish to thank Spor for the all the help he provided and his site will be greatly missed.

You can find a copy HERE.
You will need to register to get in.

Hi,

I once made a downloadable and printable copy of: How to: Install Advanced Guestbook and How to: General Settings-Explained.

Hi,

There is already a version with this option.
You can find it here

Here is another BETA I'm working on.
This one has almost all the requests people made for the guestbook.
The extra field option doesn't work in the preview yet.
To bad, I don't have the time to fix it, probably just a typo.

If Chi Kien Uong is interested he can have it and put it on his site.

The new guestbook has the following options:

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 verficiation system.

5 ICQ online status.

6 Windows Messenger and Yahoo addon.

7. extra field.

8. And lots of bug fixes for version 2.3.1

I updated the code it works with the preview function now.
I made a typo in the code

I see all the images

Just take a look in lang/english.php

Yes it does.
Just install it as an module

One of the things people are looking for is to add an extra field to the guestbook.
So I tried this experiment.

This version is for the plain version of the advanced guestbook.

Until now is 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 to find out what the problem is and to support it.
But maybe somebody else knows what is wrong and shares the solution with us.

To use it:

1. Import the table.
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 this table into your database:

I think it's one of the most used forums around.
