A second guestbook in one domain

What is the simplest way to have a second guestbook - I have one already working fine. but want a second separate one to be called from a different page to be a different guestbook. IS it possible, e.g change DBname, but waht else must be changed as well.

Thanks - don't know MySql very well

All you have to do is give it a separate databse name / database and upload all the guestbook files to another folder than your current one so they don't conflict with each other.

I think I answered this in spisas.com forums ...
Anyway, if you have only one database this is what you need to do :

Edit /admin/config.inc.php

$GB_TBL["data"] = "book_data";
$GB_TBL["auth"] = "book_auth";
$GB_TBL["cfg"] = "book_config";
$GB_TBL["com"] = "book_com";
$GB_TBL["ip"] = "book_ip";
$GB_TBL["words"] = "book_words";
$GB_TBL["ban"] = "book_ban";
$GB_TBL["priv"] = "book_private";
$GB_TBL["smile"] = "book_smilies";
$GB_TBL["pics"] = "book_pics";

Just change table prefix to whatever you want it to be.

Example :

$GB_TBL["data"] = "book_data";

change to

$GB_TBL["data"] = "secondbook_data";

You don't need to do that when it asks you for a databse name give it a different one than the first one you used. It DOESN'T matter about the tables name's since they will be contained within two completely different databases.

Yes you do if you only have one database.

True but he hasn't said he only got one though has he.

Auron

I'm sorry, should've explained.
I'm pretty sure that's what he posted in spisas.com forums about having only one database. But I could be wrong though.

Oh, he posted over at spisas I haven't been there in a while as you can see I've been here helping out. Since I wrote those 2 manuals / guides no one seems to post here any more.

I try to be on both forums as much as I can.
