customizing Guestbook and have simple ?

eahola — GMT

Honest it's a simple ?

I've customized the Advanced Guest book and it is at
http://shellbird.com/GuestBook/index2.php

Note that I haven't moved it over to index.php yet.

I've got spaces on top that I don't know where they are coming from so I can remove them. I'd like the Shellbird's GuestBook line to be at the top -- right under the menu stuff

Help Me

Looks fine here but this is on IE5.5. Anyway part of the problem could lie in the fact you have got the entire guestbook in there including the head section. This means your page goes
doctype
html
head
/head
body
menu
doctype
html
head
/head
body
guestbook
/body
/html
site content
/body
/html

I recommend copying the CSS and Javascript from the guestbooks head section into your pages head section then replacing the contents of templates/header.php with a space or and the same with footer.php.

there is an error that I'm getting and not sure syntax to fix.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY MY TITLE TO GUESTBOOK IS DOWN SO LOW.

You see the errors/text are hidden and if you select the region above my guestbook stuff .... I see

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/shellb3/public_html/GuestBook/lib/gb.class.php(153) : eval()'d code on line 4

Warning: fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /home/shellb3/public_html/GuestBook/lib/template.class.php on line 53

Since I'm not familiar with php I have no idea how to attack this. Could someone steer me in the right direction.

I haven't changed anything gb.class.php.

I'm also thinking this is why it's not displaying my comments even though they are in the DB and the counter is correct.

When you edited the template files, either header or footer, you left the file empty. You must put either a space or in the file.

Hi,

Before I continue --- thanks for helping me out --- I've been on this all day and my mind is lost....

I did have a blank footer. Fixed that and eliminated one of the error messages.

now I just have

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in ..../lib/gb.class.php(153) : eval()'d code on line 4

Hmmmmmmmmmm from a quick glance at the script that line refers to the comments. Check the file [b]templates/com.php[/b]. It should say (if you have not edited it)[code]

$com[name]:

$com[comments]

[/code]

yuppers --- that's exactly what I've got.

It says you only have one entry in the guestbook. Is there a comment with that entry?

I can't remember, were you getting this error message before you edited the header and footer files?

Anonymous — GMT

I believe I've been getting it from the get-go.

I haven't modified the header and I just have for the footer.

I can cut and paste the orig. code for both and I still have the same problem.

Did you download the guestbook from here or did your hosts supply it?

Anonymous — GMT

the host supplied it and I've downloaded the zip file from proxy2 to review the code.

So far I haven't seen anything different -- except for my modifications

Carbonize — GMT

Could you explain a little about your "modifications"?

Oh and just to test something can you download a fresh copy of the guestbook from here. Extract it, fill in the MySQL details in the config.inc.php file then upload tge entire thing to it's own folder, something like testbook. No need to install it as it will just use the existing bok entries. This way we can see if the error is in the code you are using or the database.

Well after posting a message in your guestbook. Or should i say attempting to post a message. You are takin back to this url. http://shellbird.com/GuestBook/index.php notice the difference's http://shellbird.com/GuestBook/index2.php

Carbonize — GMT

You never sent me the download link for it. Ya bloody brit.

Carbonize — GMT

Thought I had emailed it to you oh well will send you the latest version sometime today. Think I have nearly fixed all the problems people have reported in here just about to work on the $session apparently being a problem on Apache 2. Then the smiley display function and it should be done.

Still waiting for our friend here to come back about the modifications and what results my test idea had.

JTD — GMT

Yea all you emailed me was a text of some of the changes you had made. But no actual download link.

Customizing the guestbook

m.moe75 — GMT

are there any directions or read me files to for tailoring the guestbook? Can anyone tell me how to tailor my guestbook?

Carbonize — GMT

All the templates are in the templates folder.

m.moe75 — GMT

I do apologize, but I am still at a lost. Is there a way that I can view the templates and once I have chosen a template how do tailor it to fit my site?

m.moe75 — GMT

Ok after fooling with it for a while I was able to tailor it to my needs, but i still cannot get it to post. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

Posted fine for me. Given the simplicity of your siets layout you could of just copied the top part of your HTML into th ehader.php file and the the bottom bit into the footer.php file. On a different note I am curious as to why you used images for the menues. Also you spelt gallery wrong and ladies or was that intentional?

m.moe75 — GMT

Yea I see that it posted fine, but it did not post on my page. It redirects you to the template. Can you tell me more about copying my html?
