Guestbook Question

Anonymous — GMT

I have guestbook install and all is working ok ... I would like to make a change in code and cannot figure out where to do it.... Actually what I would like to do is add a few links in the drop down menu that has "Guestbook" in it located on the right side below the sign guestbook admin area.

I have found in the english.php file in the lang directory where under $LANG["FormSelect"] = "Guestbook"; is where the name is being pulled from .... So how do I add more links here and make them active?

thanks for any help from a newbie to PHP

I would also like to add a few things like Home Page and Pictures to my Jump Menu. Any code I modify crashes the script, so I decided not to touch it. Thanks ahead of time!

If you look at the guestbook on this site and click the box with the 'Go' button it simply displays the next 20 messages.
I think that you should leave the jump menu alone and instead insert your own header with a drop down menu of your own. ??

How I personalised the Advanced Guestbook

How to alter the Advanced guestbook.
I wanted to personalise the guestbook
a) to have my own logo
b) to be able to move back to my home page.

This is how I did it:-
First I should explain that I am a novice as far as PHP and also as far as hand coding HTML are concerned.
However, by dint of examing the source code of the gbook pages I worked it out.

The first and easiest trick was to substitute my own logo.gif for the original.
here's how:

go to /public_html/guestbook/img
rename logo.gif to logo.bac [incase you need to start over again]. Now
upload your own logo.gif (with that name)
That's the first bit done!

Next, to be able to escape from the Guestbook back to your homepage....

Go to /public_html/guestbook/templates

Click on body.php

now for safety sake copy this as it is (I did a ctrl A, ctrl C and popped it into a notepad file with ctrl V and saved it. You can then get back to the original if all goes pear shaped)

now edit body.php as follows

After the entry

which you will find there
insert the following code

where I have used the image file 'btback.gif' you must use your own image.
The 'btback' image is the one that is used throughout my site to return to base.
There yiou are done and dusted

Hope this helps.

Here ya go whonoes.

[quote="Trevor"]Hi Mastersmurfie,

I had a look at your guestbook.html script and it looks like you've got a bit of script missing.

Try this - open [i]gb.class.php[/i] (in the [i]lib [/i]sub-directory) and scroll down to where it says...
[quote] function generate_JumpMenu() { [/quote]
My guess is that the next line is either...
[quote] $menu_array[] = "";
$menu_array[] = ""; [/color][color="blue"] $menu_array[] = ""; [/color][/quote]
This should add a link to your home page. I've tested it on my site and it works fine. (note the backslash at the end of the URL - important).

With this menu you don't need to click the 'go' button, once you click a heading from the drop down list you're taken straight to the page. You may want to get rid of the 'go' button, look for the following line of text and delete it (it's a few lines further down)...
[quote] $menu_array[] = "db->LANG["FormButton"]."\" class=\"input\">";[/quote]

I hope that helps.

Regards,
