open lib/config.inc.php and change the base_url. You would be better off using a header a footer file and calling them at the start and end of index.php and addentry.php.

If you are using Advanced guestbook 2.2 read http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3650 if not get back to us with a link to the guestbook.

Well you lost me with the floating links part. Why you posted that example link I don't know as it has neither a styled scrollbar nor floating links. I will also add that you are using a font that few people will have so offer an alternative as well. Change it from just BenhardMood BT to BenhardMood BT, Verdana, arial this way if they don't have the first font it will try the second.

I thin kthe problem you are encountering is that you are trying to use the edit templates section of the admin and the template folder is not set to allow you to change it's contents. You need to CHMOD the templates folder and it's contents to 777. If this confuses you there is a thread on CHMODing elsehwere in this forum.

Do you have a link to your guestbook ?

This is why I hate it when hosts provide scripts because they always mess with them and leave other people to fix their mistakes. So long as your hosts didn't change the names used for the database tables there should be no problem with upgrading. There must be a config file somewhere in the guestbook as it needs this file to know the name, username and password of your database.

Anymore? do you mean it used to? Did you make any changes? Do you get any error messages ?

open up the config file admin/config.inc.php and look for the base_url setting.

Just fixed an error in the code I posted. The error was in the code that goes in lib/gb.class.php.

Whoops just noticed an error in my code

It should be

whoops.

I am guessing you mean changing it to say "new password" as in
Changing the Admin Password:
http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3744

It now says New Password and Confirm New Password

Forgot about that

Simple enough

Could do but not to sure if I want to. Could end up with people filling the add entry screen with the smiley selector. I'll pencil it onto the next to do list as a possibility.

Yes. The main features of the upgrade is the ability to select and deselect feature. Email encryption is an option. I don't understand how yours is messing up though. Very bizarre.

I think the security in 2.3.1 is good enough. I mean it's been out for about two years and no exploits have surfaced.

As I explained to JTD I'm going to have to rewrite a lot of the add.class.php as I have plans that are hard to implement at present. I may save the rewrite for my next upgrade though and just release the current upgrade, as is, once I've written a smart installer.

OK just an update. There will be a delay in the beta release of the updated advanced guestbook script due to the way image verification works. At present it, if you get the code wrong, it shows a message to this effect and reshows the form. Unfortunately the form is empty and the keycode for the image verification ends up in the text box

. Anyway I am writing a function so that the when the form is reshown it will still contain the information that was put into it. I am also going to use this to show the completed form underneath the preview so that they don't have to click back. This is how forums do previews and should also fix a recent bug that was discovered regarding going back in Internet Explorer.

I will make up two mock pages soon to let you see how the General Settings and Password pages of the admin section now look so I can get feedback on the wording.

Actually javascript looks correct so go back to http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3315 and go through every step one by one looking for anything you missed.

At a guess I'd say reread the thread about adding url's to the jump menu and check you have the javascript right.

I believe you use <?php include("path/to/poll/index.php"); ?> at the position you want the poll to appear. Remembering to give your pages the .php extension.

If one of the scripts from here is crashing the SQL server I'd be more concerned that there was a problem with the server unless you editted the scripts or are using versions provided by the host.
