Hi,

Ok so i installed the advanced Guestbook on my site but now i want to import all the entries from my old guestbook (not advanced guestbook - its just an html guestbook)
into this advanced guestbook one... (I can do that by just manually entering in all the old
entries but that will take ages but most importantly the Date and Time it
was entered will be wrong as i want it to say it was entered on the original
date and time it was entered).

Please help,

Thanks

But is there a way? If yes Please expain in the easiest way possible.

Or even is there a way to change the date entered date or even make it so it doesn't show the date entered just for the entries that i enter (if i manually enter all the entries from my old guestbook)

Thanks

It's definitely possible.

I converted from an html based guestbook - it only had ~200 entries at the time so I just did it by hand. To get the dates correct, you have to convert them to Unix time I believe - you'll have to enter the dates directly into the database. If you search around there are scripts on the web that will do the conversion like:
