How to change where the page goes after they sign guestbook

jcbradley — GMT

Hi there,

I am nothing close to a techie but so far have changed the wording on my guest book. But i couldnt find anything on here in regards changing the page where they go after signing the guest book.

Is there a way to do this? I have the 2.3.1 set up

Thanks

Do you mean the thank you message or the page it goes to after that?

I mean the page it goes to afterwards. I believe it takes them to the actual guest book. I would like to take them to a different page or put a link back to my home page from the guest book.

Thanks,

Chris

The "Thank you for posting" message uses the template called success.php. Here you can edit that pages output all you wish. The part that is responsible for taking them back to the guestbook is

Where exactly would I put the URL for the redirect? Also, what file do i go to - to change the thank you message.

Thanks again,

The message is in [b]english.php[/b] found in the [b]lang[/b] folder. The url would go where it says [b]$GB_PG[index][/b].

Hi again,

Ok, in that file, i see where i can change the wording but i did not find $GB_PG[index] in that file. I did go back to the success template and replaced $GB_PG[index] with my url but ended up with a 404 error.

i put inplace. http://www.mysite.com but the URL it returned was advancedguestbook/mysite which was not found.

Next move?

Thanks,

Chris
