You can change the appearance of the inputs, drop box and buttons by using css. Inline CSS would be best for the job.

<input type="text" value="gb_name" style="border: 1px solid black; background: blue; color: white;"> would make an input box with a black border, blue background and white text.

Edit the templates. Everything is template driven. This will not affect the entries.

If I can find the time I'll look into it. I doubt it's that hard to do. I'm actually using his country flag idea in the guestbook script I am writing, eventually.

the above was obviously me btw. If all you want doing is to have 8 new questions adding then it should be simple. Are the outputted results to be text or images like the current AIM, email, ICQ questions?

ps. Thanks to amber for contacting me while I was busy sunning myself.

Hmmm well either they are putting the entries in by hand, which is slow and tedious but happens, or they have found a way around the image verification but if that was so more of us would of had spam. Try changing the six numbers in the verify.php and see if that makes a difference.

You can edit the script so that the password is not needed. You seem to be forgetting though that the password required for the comments is all that is checked, the username is irrelevant. Therefore so long as you know the comment password you can comment on any post using any username.

Damn this thread makes it look like I need a life

Why I get blank page? And how to fix it?

Some little questions:
1. How I can add notification to webmaster by email on add reply? Notification on addentry work fine.
2. Why don't replace [ : ) ] to smiles on reply? On addentry replace work fine.
3. How add smiles box on reply page?

Sorry, what about my questions? Do you understand my previous post (my english is bad)? Thanks.

Why did you goto all the trouble of renaming the pages and then using an include code? Why not just include a header and footer at the start and end of each page?

1 - I assume you mean you want email notification of comments left to other posts. If the emails are just to be sent to yourself then I cannot see it being a problem to write a mod for this.

2 - I'll have a look at feeding the comments through the smiley replace routine.

3 - With some editting of the template file for that page.

You checked that the image verification is working correctly? Try a test entry with th ewrong characters or none at all.

You would have to put a link on your site to the guestbook if thats what you mean.

www.php.net or use this wonderfule thing called GOOGLE

OK quick mod to have AG 2.3.1 log the IP rather than the hostname.

Open up add.class.php then find

replace that with

it's a bit of a hack fix but does the job (hopefully as I haven't tested it).

It used to but for some reason the writer has chosen to use the ip to host function that is built into PHP. I am going to look at how to mod the guestbook to go back to just recording the IP as looking up the host name can slow your site down. Also it would be easier for people toblock IP's if they were shown.

NT 5.0 is Windows 2000
NT 5.1 is Windows XP.

If yuour problems not been fixed by Thursday I'll download the script and have a look myself.

If you are using version 2.2 of the advanced guestbook then odds are they are using the exploit to login. Advanced Guestbook 2.2 can be logged inot by anyone and so we recommend upgrading to 2.3.1.
