I have been running Advanced Guestbook for a number of months now with no problems -- unfortunately, last night, some yo-yo got into my server and replaced index.php with his salute to terrorism.

I thought that the correct procedure would be to paste the templates together to make a new index.php, so I put the Header, Body, Footer templates together and saved it, but that didn't turn out so good... I got my header, but nothing else worked, it showed the Javascript Variables instead of the guestbook entries, etc.

I know from looking at the Admin that all of the message appear to still be there.

How do I recover from this mess? Two questions in particular:

1) If I "re-install", would I lose my guestbook entries?

2) If that wouldn't work, how do I restore my index.php with guestbook entries? (I'm checking into the status of any backup that may have been made)

Thanks,

I am pretty sure that it was the only thing touched....

Is there something specific I should do to get it to pick up the messages, etc?

Well, I just got online and double checked my permissions, but it's all good -- even gave it a run at 777 for the helluvit.

One thought came to mind... I notice that in addentry.php, there is a call made to the includes such as config.inc.php, etc., but I notice that on the page I tried to borrow from your guestbook (index.php), I do not see any such includes... am I missing something or is that normal?

The reason I suspect that is because my page loads with variable names printed verywhere....

Thanks so much for your time!

Are you sure you got the correct index.php file?
Is it to view entries in the guestbook or in the admin area?

But don't upload or run the file that modifies the db coz you might overwrite the one you currently have.
