You say my upgrade script didn't work. Can you say what error it gave as this will help me fix it.

This problem only usually occurs when a person has updated from Advanced Guestbook 2.2 to 2.3.1. If this is what you did then you need to change the type of field timestamp is in book_auth or use www.carbonize.co.uk/upgrade.zip but if you haven't updated then I am at a loss.

If you mean title as in then check in templates/header.php

Nope as mine is running on .10 (after I had to tell my hosts about the update) and image upload works fine. Unless they updated and reset their php.ini file.

If you had bothered to even read the this of topics in this particular forum you would of seen one called enter email before voting.

Download www.carbonize.co.uk/reset.zip and extract the reset.php file. Upload it to your guestbook folder. Goto reset.php in yourweb browser and when it asks for your password put in whatever it says in .

OK first you need to set the Base_url setting in config.inc.php. Findand replace it with:

As for the invalid input problem it is linked to word size. Log into the Admin section and goto the general Settings page. Scroll down to the Message Length section. The default settings for this bit are
Min. message length = 4
Max. message length = 300
Max. Word length = 45

Ok lets start from the begining. What exactly is the problem.

the MySQL password in the config file is NOT encrypted. MySQL passwords are usually randomly generated rarely make sense.

I mean your MySQL password will be on there for you to get. All you need is the MySQL password to run my password/username reset script. If nothing else the MySQL password should be in admin/config.inc.php file.

your hosts will be able to provide you with your MySQL password. Odds are it is available in your Control panel.

Did you change anything to make this happen? Have you tried reuploading all the files?

Btw you may want to edit the template and language files to customise the guestbook to fit in with your site more.

OPen up lib/add.class.php. Find:
Replace with:Changing 'EMAIL ADDRESS HERE' for the second email address you want to send notification to remembering to keep it between the ' ' .

I made a script to make is easier to reset your username and pasword. You can get it from www.carbonize.co.uk/reset.zip

Well if your hosts supports it you could set up an account that forwards to 2 addresses or you can wait till I write you the mod for it, shouldn't be to hard as it wil just be a single line.

Best person for this is Amber as I have never used 1.5. Is there a base directory variable in the settings? I'm sure you need to put the guestbook in it's own folder and CHMOD it to 777 or somthing like that.
