Thanks everyone,

I'm not on Apache so can't use .htaccess which is what most of the above need.

Looked at the stats from some different sites, impression I get is that once a bot has indexed a site it comes back even if you subsequently block it with robots.txt and meta-tags.

Thanks again.

suggests you use

in the head and

in robots.txt placed in root directory

ps how do I get my host to install image magick or is it GD, or can I use a script that I install my self to create thumbs for the images in AdvancedGuestbook?

my other host has imagick and all is well, but our new guestbook is resizing the thumbs but not creating a new optimised file.

I think most use GD. You might ask them but I dought they will. Usually also in apps that use something like that to resize a pic there is a spot to put the path of the program IE GD image magick and so on. I havnt seen a place in the GB admin to do that.

I asked my host about this he says that "GD Library is installed, it does what you want" how do I get it happening, I wonder .....

any clues on where to look?

this is a commercial use of your script, we are happy to leave credit and link in place and we would also like to offer small payment.

Have you edited the script in anyway ?

yes I have hacks/mods, so have installed a nice vanilla gb and still same problems

and one new one after submit

Warning: unlink(index.html): Permission denied in /home/httpd/vhosts/qps2000.com/httpdocs/test2/lib/add.class.php on line 80

though messages are posted could this be related to the thumbs not being optimised.

gb is at
http://www.qps2000.com/test2
admin still default password

The last problem is down to your folders not having the right permissions. tmp and public both need to be chmod'd to 777.

Correct thanks Carbonize

but still thumbs are not optomised???

shame i like this host but will have to move again if I can not fix this

When the javascript popup is working, the source code reads:

Yours is missing the "t_" and just reads:

<a href="javascript:gb_picture('img-1096469374.jpg',504,345)">

Carbonize probably has a solution.

Looking at your source code again, I did notice that your base url looks different than the path. Check your base url in admin/config.inc.php and maybe put the full path.

It's the same on my guestbook. The image in the entry is just the full size version from the public directory resized using html. I'll look into why it's not making thumbnails as it should be.

I have used this script on another site that has imagemagick and all is well see http://www.oregangalleries.com/billboards/

my question remains what do we do on a host that does not have imagemagick but does have GD?

Hope you can solve this Mr Carbonize, if I get any clues I will post them here
