The recommended method is to use the search feature of the forum to find all the other threads about doing this.

I would search if I new what I was looking for.

What key words should I enter. When I said novice - I meant it. Or do you know a a link?

Just went through 12 pages of information using serach engine and found zilch

anyone have any ideas?

This thread is still on page one. You can tell by the title it is the same question as yours:

How can I integrate my guestbook into an existing site?

This is also on page one. It seems like it would be a good place to look for modifications:

Advanced Guestbook Fixes and Mods

A simple search of "Embed AND Guestbook" returns half a dozen threads on this subject.

thanks have book marked and will work thourhg them.

I managed to get the php page to appear within my html page but the images were missing and the links did not work on the guestbook. It appeared the shortcuts were pointing to the root of the dite and not the root of the guestbook folder. ANy ideas?

Did you set your base url in the admin/config.inc.php file? Look in the topic Advanced Guestbook Fixes and Mods and find the instructions for the admin/config.inc.php file.

Seem to be getting there - pictures now visible

last bit seems to be the url hyperlinks

Instead of going to . . .

http://www.mysite.com/guestbook/addentry.php

they are point to

http://www.mysite.com/addentry.php

I have the base url set to

http://www.mysite.com/guestbook

and the files are stored there too excpet fot the html page with the include - that is in http://www.mysite.com

hope that makes sense?

Change www.mysite.com to you actual domain if you haven't already.

This sounds like a problem. If what you are saying is true, that would be your home page. Your guestbook should not be included on your home page.

Post a link to your site if you still need help.

yes have changed my site etc

and no is not on my index page is on a page called guestbook which resides in the root directory of the web not the guestbook directory

Well I'm sure that's your problem. The initial guestbook page and addentry.php are supposed to be in the same directory. That's why it's looking for addentry.php in your root. Your guestbook page is supposed to be index.php and should be in the guestbook's directory along with all the other guestbook files it needs.

Ok I was hoping I could change it - ok will move the file to same directory.

Okey doke you were spot on - page and link works. Many thanks.

When I click on sign the guest book it takes me out of my page though.

Is there a way I can keep the signing part within my html page too?
