if (stringPos == true) {
stringEmail = stringEmail + "%" + email.charAt(i);

Save and close the file.

Open lib/gb.class.php

Find:[code]eval("\$EMAIL = \"".$template['email']."\";");[/code]
Replace it with [code]$encemail = bin2hex($row['email']);
$hidemail = str_replace('@', '[at]', $row['email']);
$hidemail = str_replace('.', '[dot]', $hidemail);
eval("\$EMAIL = \"".$template['email']."\";");[/code]
Just after that you will see [code] } else {

parse error after following these instructions

Anonymous — GMT

Hey Carbon,

I followed these to the letter (except the last line, where you said to find the line starting with val; it's actually eval). Once I saved and tried to access my guestbook, I got the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in .../guestbook/lib/gb.class.php on line 133

My website is [url]http://johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/[/url]

Is this common with this mod? I am certain that I didn't make any other changes to the lib/gb.class.php file outside of the instructions.

Thanks,
Johnny

edit to last entry

Anonymous — GMT

Hey Carbonize,

Just a note on the last entry: I removed the code from the last instruction and the guestbook is accessible now. I still haven't completed the whole process, but I'm not stuck without a guestbook now.

Can you please help me finish the mod??

Thanks,
Johnny

Carbonize — GMT

Whoops I boobooded and missed off the closing )'s from the str_replace functions. Fixed now

Can you help with the BASE_URL??

Anonymous — GMT

Hey Carbonize,

I am still pretty new to php... I have had a consistent issue with the img's on my guestbook not loading. In particular, the textbar on the bottom of the screen leaves a blank where the source should be (i.e. it should say http://johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/img, but it says http:///img)

I was told to change my config.inc.php file, so I did and that worked.. for that session. I made the following change:

$GB_PG["base_url"] = ""; /* e.g htpp://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/img */

Now that I have logged out and back in, my pics are gone again... Can you tell me exactly what should be in the config.inc.php file??

Thanks,
Johnny

Me again

Anonymous — GMT

Correction!! My config file shows:

$GB_PG["base_url"] = ""; /* e.g http://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/img */

Still doesn't work...

Thanks

Carbonize — GMT

[code]$GB_PG["base_url"] = "http://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/"; /* e.g */[/code]
You are meant to put the path in the "'s

Anonymous — GMT

You lost me on that last entry... what do you mean?

Thanks,
Johnny

Carbonize — GMT

you put [code]$GB_PG["base_url"] = ""; /* e.g http://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/*/[/code]
it should be [code]$GB_PG["base_url"] = "http://www.johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/"; /* e.g */[/code]

Strange... After adding this, all the entries in my guestbook that did not have an email address have been altered to show the email address of the latest visitor. When I go into the Admin panel, these entries show the email field is blank...

I added a test entry and it is fine with no email address, but now I need to figure out how to remove the address from the other entries.

Carbonize — GMT

Thats weird because this code only alters the email addresses as they are being pulled from the database to be added to the output.

amber222 — GMT

You're not kidding weird... it's a mystery to me!

Carbonize — GMT

Just fixed an error in the code I posted. The error was in the code that goes in [b]lib/gb.class.php[/b].

amber222 — GMT

Carbonize, I signed John and Rachel's guestbook on November 3 without leaving an email address.

http://johnnyandrachaelstevens.com/guestbook/

Someone else signed their book on November 9 with an email address. It has added their email address to my post.

Carbonize — GMT

Just noticed another error after visiting their site. [code][/code] Should be [code][/code]
i forgot as I remove all image link borders in my CSS.

I see what you mean, it's put the email in twice. I think I know whats happened. Slap my wrists :oops: I forgot to empty the variables and so it will use the same info again until it finds a new email address. Will fix now :|

Carbonize — GMT

Nope that can't be it because it only calls the functions if there is an email address present and it would also be repeating the image link. Am looking into it now.

amber222 — GMT

Thanks. When you're done with it, I'll probably try it again.

Carbonize — GMT

Nope I was right it is that lol. I forgot that it wont call the image link unless there is an email present but the text link is part of the entry.php template.
the part ingb.class.php should be [code] if ($row['email']) {
if ($this->db->VARS["encryptemail"]==1){
$encemail = bin2hex($row['email']);
$hidemail = str_replace('@', '[at]', $row['email']);
$hidemail = str_replace('.', '[dot]', $hidemail);
eval("\$EMAIL = \"".$template['email']."\";");
}else{
$encemail = "mailto:".$row['email'];
$hidemail = $row['email'];
}
eval("\$EMAIL = \"".$template['email']."\";");
} else {
$EMAIL = '';
$hidemail = '';
}[/code]

lost my email encryption

Anonymous — GMT

Hey guys,

Somewhere along the way with encrypting and fixing the missing email assignment issue and correcting my pic path, I lost my encryption.

I checked the files that I use and found nothing out of place. Can you guys check it out? I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Johnny

Well unless you had previously altered the scripts may I suggest just reuploading the guestbook and modding it again.

Anonymous — GMT

Hey Carbonize,

I realized that I had modified without allowing myself CHMOD allowance. Once I changed the CHMOD, I was able to save the mod, then go back and re-establish the CHMOD permissions.

Thanks for all of your help... you really have been tremendously patient with me and my foibles!!

Only just realised that the above bit of code I posted is actually taken from my version of he guestbook and contains code only relevant to my version. Anyway the code on page 1 is correct.

amber222 — GMT

Tried this again, and it works great. Thanks.

Hello, great script! However, e-mails are being shown as "username[at]yahoo[dot]com". How can I completely forgo any e-mail address being shown at all in my guestbook?

Thanks!

Carbonize — GMT

open [b]templates/form.php[/b] and remove [code]
$LANG[FormEmail]:

[/code]This will stop them being able to supply an email address.

If you don't want to show emails thathave already been added open [b]lib/gb.class.php[/b] and look for [code] if ($row['email']) {
eval("\$EMAIL = \"".$template['email']."\";");
} else {
$EMAIL = '';
}[/code] and delete everything except the [code]$EMAIL = '';[/code]

Anonymous — GMT

Thanks! Would this mean that users won't be able to post an e-mail address? I would like to be able to have that option still available, but not visible to the public (may if I could log into my admin area to view it)?

I hope I am explaining myself correctly.

Carbonize — GMT

I could write you a mod to add the option to allow email addresses to the admin. But why would you want to?

Anonymous — GMT

Hello Carbonize, that would be GREAT!

Sometimes users post questions in my guestbook and I like to directly respond to them instead of posting a reply in the guestbook.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks again!

Carbonize — GMT

Hmmm sounds like what you want is the ability for them to still leave their email address but not have it displayed in the guestbook. If so the second part of my quick fix should do this.

THANKS! THAT WORKED!

Gone back to square one

Anonymous — GMT

These last few days have been my first, can I used the word 'exposure' to php.

Amber 222 recomended that I protenct by visitors email addresses in the guest book and pointed me in the direction of this page.

Step by step I deleted the existing code, copied and pasted the code show at the top of this page and whola, I got the following when I tried to access the guest book:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/stevenx/public_html/guestbook/lib/gb.class.php on line 278

As I result I gave up and reinstalled the original php files.

No protection but at least it is working for now.

Cheers
Steven

I'll either upload the pre modified files to my site somewhere or write a better mod instruction.

Secure email

memoire — GMT

Great Carbonize looking forward to the revised code.

AS I said when logged in as a guest I had a lot of errors with the email code that I didn't know how to handle.

Replace [at] and [dot] with graphics..

Anonymous — GMT

Now that I've upgraded my guestbook, all of my e-mail addresses display "username[at]yahoo[dot]com". This is fine.. But what I'd love to do is to replace the "[at]" and the "[dot]" with graphics. (this way the e-mail addresses will LOOK normal, and still be secured from e-mail miners.. Is there an easy way to do this??

Carbonize — GMT

open up lib/gb.class.php and do a search for [at] and [dot] and simply replace the relevant text with the image link.
