Guestbook Question

Re: Guestbook Question

I am having similar problems to others. I have setup Guestbook in my page feedback.html

I have published but the guestbookdb does not appear. There is a guestbook.php. Maybe php is not installed??

Re: Guestbook Question

the file is automatically uploaded. You can't see it in your computer because it is part of the BV executable. Permissions should be 644. The file that is created (guestbookdb.txt) should be changed to 777, and only if required.

Not sure what you mean by "Hide the messages input by visitors". I mean, that's what a guestbook is supposed to be there for, isn't it ?

Re: Guestbook Question

I cannot login to delete my guestbook comments. There is only one spot there there is no room for password and for username. Am i supposed to have another password for guestbook?

Re: Guestbook Question

In BlueVoda, double click the guestbook, and go in Advanved. Check the "Show Admin Link" checkbox, so it will appear in your guestbook for you to enter the administration mode. Save, publish the page, and test

can you tell me how do I control who post the comments on mz guestbook, because I have spammers all over the place, and it is really killing the vibe of my artistic website.
Thank you

Re: Guestbook Question

You can't really. You can only monitor it (check the "Enable email notification" option) and delete spam posts.

Gustbooks have this problem, as they are always there for people to sign and post.

Re: Guestbook Question

As i already said, in BlueVoda, Double click the Guestbook and go in Advanced. Tick that checkbox.

Publish again.

At this point, the Admin Login link should appear in your Online page.

Re: Guestbook Question

I can see your guestbook, actually i have even entered a test post. However, you have surely mistakken something! How is it possible that the guestbookdb.php , which is an INTERNAL file (should never appear) appears and it also has a header on top ????

Please repeat the installation. Your guestbook page should be named something else, and there is no need to be php, it can also be html.
