GB modify index

Anonymous — GMT

Hi All,

Ok! Guest book running!!

Now...... What is the file I can change to do this:

I am trying to make the page look like this [b]page that you are reading[/b] this post on.

I presume you take a blank page, make two tables then in the right table put the code for body.php.
In the left table I can add links and pics?

I tried it on the two index.html pages but no JOY..... still brings up the default page...

Thanks!

Actually you are way off base. Contact Carbonize about it. And is this sorta what you are meaning.

Exactly!!!!!!!

tis what I need....>>>http://www.ravenprom.org/guestbook/

Any clue?

Carbonize — GMT

Both the Ravenprom guestbook layout and my entire site were achieved using a simple snippet of PHP code. It is a function called [b]include[/b]. First design a page placing the word guestbook where you want the guestbook to go. Remember that the guestbook is a pretty big item. Next you go through the HTML and everything from the start up until the word Guestbook you save into a file called header.php. You then take everything from the end of the word guestbook right up to the very end and save it to a file called footer.php. You now have two choices. The first is to overwrite the header.php and footer.php files that already exist in the guestbooks templates. Second is to place the newly made header and footer files in your webspace and place [b]include ('header.php');[/b] just after the initial .

By now you are probably confused as hell but I hope not. If I get chance I will make a simple demonstration and upload the files somewhere. My entire site only has a sinlge header and footer file that is used by every page.

ahhhha!

Hi,

I took your zip file and edited header.php to what I need.
When I open header.php in IE it shows fine. When I open raven.html THAT shows the original file for raven.

I changed the original to header.bak
I edited it in frontpage and saved as header.php.
Thought it might be an IE cache thing but not.....
All files are in the dir so it cant be a path problem

Wassssup with that??

Thanks!

Carbonize — GMT

raven.html is just the page I made to show what th efinished product should look like. The three pages needed are header, footer and content.php. You goto content.php in your browser and it should add the header and footer in the right places.

Thanks a bunch for putting up with my ignorance!

When I open content.php with IE I get this:

$title = 'Ravens Downloads';
$maintitle = 'main content title';
include('header.php');
?>

nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper

I shouldnt have to upload to get it to work because yours works just fine on local box....

again THanks!

JTD — GMT

I think you do have to have the content.php file in there also.

Thanks!

Hi,
Under Guestbook put the include function

dependent on where you have it installed.

or if you wish to use the full url use

just throw one of them in the table where you have the work guestbook.

Hope that helps.

Ok at the top and of your index.php file you need to add this. changing the path ofcourse to whatever yours is.

If you unzip the file i sent you and upload the three files into your Guestbook folder it should work fine.

Yo!

Man dont you ever sleep??? LOL!!
Check your mail I sent you earlier today.

I did exactly as you told me... It must be something else??

I really appreciate your help, Carbonize!

Ok I download a free web template and converted it to use includes. You can see it in action at http://carbonize.co.uk/test/ and the link to download the zip containing the files is on the page as well.

I have been trying to do the same thing. Can I get those instuctions? And how does this work when using a Dreamweaver template?

I lost the files when I migrated to the new server. I'll work on something over weekend. I have currently got plans to make it so you can simply use [code][/code]where you want the guestbook to appear and that will be all you need to do but don't expect this anytime soon as it is just part of my plans for the guestbook I am writing based upon Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1

Carbonize — GMT

On a slightly different note I recommend [b]NOT[/b] using Dreamweaver or any other wysiwyg HTML editor to edit the guestbook files as they have a habit of altering things as they see fit. I recommend using a dedicated text editor such as [url=http://www.pspad.com][u]PS Pad[/u][/url].

m.moe75 — GMT

Ok thanks ! so what you are saying is edit the header and footer.php with PS Pad or Notepad and then paste my html for my template ABOVE? the script? And do the same for footer?

Thank you for all your help!!

Carbonize — GMT

basically yes. Most pages are made in three sections

HEADER
CONTENT
FOOTER

Your header usually contains such things as your banner and menu. The footer is just to close all the HTML. The content is the bit that varies on every page and this is where you want the guestbook to be.

Anyone know how to make a certain area in a site password protected. Can you provide documentation. I am still trying to get the guestbook to work correctly within my site.

m.moe75 — GMT

Carbonize,

Thanks for all the help!!! let me know when you have compliled the redirect script

problems parsing php code

Anonymous — GMT

Hi everyone trying to include AG in a current design,

The procedure for changing the template files header.php and footer.php seems nice, but since there is some code in my header and footer (mainly includes from another place on the site), I get this problem that the template files look like they're not parsing my php code (it apperas as html code in the resulting page).

Anyone?

I have choosed the second choise. But in browser comes :
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in z:\home\localhost\www\guestbook\index.php on line 8

Could you give a hint ?

Carbonize — GMT

You would have to show me lines 6 to 10 of index.php or send me the file.

karlito — GMT

I have choosed the first choice and it's worked!
Thank you.
