Link Back To Main Site

How do I add a link back to my main site from the guestbook? I got it all set up and installed and such and have got the color settings how I want them BUT I need to be able to put a link back to the main site so people can get back to it. How????

First you will need to add a Book Message in the Language/english file:
$LANG["BookMess11"] = "Return to Home Page"; (I called mine BookMess11, with the message, "Return to Home Page".

Then edit your Templates/body.php file.
(You might find it easier to print out a copy of the original script to make it easier to make other changes later.........or to go back to the original if you have problems)

Remove everything in bold:

<td width="44%" align="right" class="font2">
<img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/signing.gif" width="90" height="30" border="0">           <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/sign.gif" width="9" height="12"> <a href="$GB_PG[addentry]">$LANG[BookMess3]</a>
| <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/lock.gif" width="9" height="11"> <a href="$GB_PG[admin]">$LANG[BookMess5]</a>

(This will remove the Sign the Guestbook logo in the top right corner and add a link to your home page to the left side of the "Sign the Guestbook" link.)

Replace it with the bold here..........changing "yourdomain.com", etc. to your URL.

<td width="44%" align="right" class="font2">
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">$LANG[BookMess11]</a>
| <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/sign.gif" width="9" height="12"> <a href="$GB_PG[addentry]">$LANG[BookMess3]</a>
| <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/lock.gif" width="9" height="11"> <a href="$GB_PG[admin]">$LANG[BookMess5]</a>

I had added my own logo and another image and found that it worked better without the "Sign the Guestbook" logo in the top right. You can probably leave the logo if you want it.......in which case don't remove the first example, and just add the script in the second example right after the  .

Hope this helps

Thanks for the details. Nicely done.

Thank you so very much! Sorry it took me so long to reply. I really appreciate the help!

I have another question though now. Is there a way to change the whole background from being a solid color to an image? I'd like to change it from being a plain gray color to the following image:

Thanks again!

if your using a style sheet the code for it is...

The second line tells it not to repeat the image.
The third means it stays in the same place and doesn't stay
with the same bit in view. I.e. you scroll down you see the
rest of the background pic rather than it following you down.
