Does anyone know how I can get smileys to work in the "write a comment" section. They work fine in the initial message but don't seem to allowed in a response.

Thanks

My apologies, Carbonize! I'm a bit dense sometimes, as my wife likes to remind me. You guys are doing a great thing here. Your scripts rock!

jsweb, I don't think he was talking about you "touting for business" but his competition who offered to clean up the code at a professional rate. Carbonize is trying to get everybody over to his site, so this is most likely infringing on what he feels is his territory. It is also tacky. If they want to try and get a paid arrangement, they should do it in private, not in this public forum. Guest, next time, send them an email.

OK. I figured it out. I could see the missing tags when I viewed source on the addentry page, but because I don't really understand PHP very well, I couldn't figure out which page it was pulling from that was messed up. I don't know why I didn't think of it before (duh), but I just downloaded AG from this site, and uploaded it to my server, sans the header and footer. Poof! Everything looks fine. (http://www.cancun-discounts.com/addentry.php).

I had read all the info I could find in the forum and what messed me up was one post that said you would have to put your HTML into all the individual pages. I'm sure I just misunderstood the post, but that's what I did. Then, I realized how dumb that was, and deleted it all out, but obviously accidentally deleted something important in the process.

I knew I needed to fix my tables like JTD had said, and the body tag like Guest had said, but I couldn't figure out in what file the tables were incorrect because I didn't understand the PHP well enough. If I could have found the HTML, I could have fixed it. That part I know.

Carbonize - Customizing the guestbook is very easy. I just made it harder than it needed to be and messed it up. I don't understand what you mean by "touting for business, but left no way to contact them". I left my e-mail in two messages above, and in our guestbook, there is a "Contact Us" link in the main header bar, and an e-mail link in the footer. What more do you want? We certainly weren't "touting for business" on this board, we were just looking for help, and you guys have all been great. Thank you for everything!

The guest's entries are not in the folders but in the database. Your reinstallation has nothing to do with the database. Ask your host if they have a backup of the database, or, if all else fails:

OK! Do I have to write the whole src www...in the background="" or how do I refer to my gif? I tried but I get an error message. //Lotta

Yes I did and no-one else could help me..

I saw that most of the issues did not get any reply.. and some were about the first part.. but no questions about how to use the admin part.

guess I need to look to another script.. I just do not understand anything about this one.. I can not remove wrong links without losing all my links..

thanks anyone for the good help.

Hi!
I was wonder if I can use some of my own background (in gif) instead of the color in the guestbook? Is there someone who knows how to fix it in that case?
thanks//lotta

A view-source reveals that you are missing several opening and closing table cells. Like ET stated earlier - you don't have the tables nested in the correct format and like Carbonize points out, you have two body tags. You have the string for form improperly syntaxed and you seemingly have a lot of duplications like

is in two different locatoins. Generally the code looks pretty mucked up. I'd be available at a professional rate to clean the code up for you.

JTD - Thanks for your help. I may have to end up switching to PHP as you've done, but I was hoping that all the work I did with the headers and footers wouldn't be for nothing. I wonder, though, why does your guestbook posting page not have your sidebars? Is that by choice, or does that page not work for you either (that's the one that I'm having trouble with...)

i just made these changes to the two files, however, the form.php file i have has "gb_name" in three places and does not appear as you have quoted. i have guestbook 2.3.1.

i made the changes as follows in the three places in the form.php file. i used "v7e" as my add-on. can we use as many characters as we want?

}
function checkForm() {
document.book.gb_namev7e.value=trim(document.book.gb_namev7e.value);
document.book.gb_comment.value=trim(document.book.gb_comment.value);
if(document.book.gb_namev7e.value == "") {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost1]");
document.book.gb_namev7e.focus();
return false;
}

i have been getting awful spam and am hoping your fix does the trick!

thanks,
