Guestbook-Problem with submit and preview

Anonymous — GMT

Hi! I have following problem
When i want to submit or preview the entry, the program loasds the "addentry.php" (this can be seen in the browser at the bottom) , and nothing happens. The screen shows the fill - in form (where I already have written something)
When i go to view the entries, it is empty, or in other words, the entry is not safed to the database. I think , i have configured well, but what can be wrong?? Please help me! I haven't changed nothing. Can there something be wrong with the variables, or is it sure that the problem is in the database that i have created!!

Plese help me!

:o i have exactly the same problem...
maybe because my server is at www.free.fr
which doesn't accept some functions... (CHMOD 777 for example..)

check out WWW.ARMVR.FR.ST

I'm sure this depends on the server's php configuration

I'm having the same problem but I'm using a service which isnt free.

I had AG 2.2 installed and it worked fine but 2.3 produces the problems discussed above.

Gotta be an error in the scripts somewhere !!

As lot of you, i got the same problem, and i've search a day to become operational this great guestbook (thank to the author).

I hate such situation when a solution run on my computer but not on my online host: i'm at [u]www.free.fr[/u].

So i've search and found a solution, but i can't explain why. So if someone can give me a response, i 'll greatly appreciate it

In the folder [i][b]\templates[/b][/i], you should remove at line 72 of file [i][b]form.php[/b][/i] option [b]enctype="multipart/form-data"[/b] in the

Try this if you can't preview in AdvancedGuestbook!

What language do you use? I had these problems with my swedish translation.

I discovered that if you use OEM convertion (ä instead of ä) in your language file for the entries $LANG["FormSubmit"] and $LANG["FormPreview"], you can't submit or preview.

So my suggestion is that you try with a word without special characters, or that you skip the OEM convertion. That is try with "Förhandsgranska" instead of "Förhandsgranska"

Hope this help

Same Problem!!

Hey buddy thanks a lot....its also worked for me!
You are a life saver! I wonder why no body is here to help us before!
So does it has any effect on the guest book? I mean removing that line will have any effect on other features of guestbook?

Removing that HTML code did fix my problem. BUT....that did take out the functionality for the picture and the email, and I would reallly like these features on my guestbook. If ANYONE has a solution...please post it. Thanks and good job to the author and to who fixed that bug!

Anyone figure out a solution yet that also allows you to use the picture upload functionality? Thanks!

Preview and submit function SOLUTION.

Anonymous — GMT

I have had the same problems as mentioned above, and I came up with 2 solutions. Or rather, the problem for me was actually 2 problems.

Submit function: FOR GODS SAKE, check your php.ini file. There is a line specifying whether HTTP uploads should be allowed. It looks like this (line 387 of 881 in my php.ini on RedHat 7.3):

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = Off

This MUST be "On". Of course. Took me ages to figure out as I couldn't find any entries in my log files.

Preview function: As one Swedish guy allready pointed out, if you use some HTML entities in your $LANG["FormSubmit"] or $LANG["FormPreview"], this will break the preview function.

Also check permissions on directories "tmp" and "public" as these are required to have read+write+execute permissions for owner, group and world. A "chmod 777 temp && chmod 777 public" will do the job. Most FTP programs also support this command, typically available via right-click on files or folders. But the server MUST support this command as well.

Hope this helps.

ShamaN. Thanks for your post, although this just is not working correctly. I did turn HTTP file uploads On in the php.ini file and also restarted apache, but to no avail. I also tried re-adding the code that Farrell suggested to take out, but that still did not allow file uploads. I am about to give up on it and just use the guestbook as is, but would really like that functionality.

Thank you Farell!!
