A really cool snippet I would say... I use IT
====
First you have to download the guestbook software...
(attached to bottom)
1. Unzip the zip file and upload to a folder called "gb" in your forum root
2. Type in the url /gb/install.php in the address bar
====
INSTRUCTIONS
Backup any files i tell you to edit before trying this.

Open the index.php

Search For

Code Select Expand

'sticky' => array('LockTopic.php', 'Sticky'),

Add after

Code Select Expand

'guestbook' => array('guestbook.php', 'guestbook'),


Open up the Modifications.english.php file in your languages directory.

Add this after another text string on the page.

Code Select Expand

$txt['guestbook'] = 'Guestbook';

Upload the guestbook.php and guestbook.template.php from the attached below. You will have to only modify the guestbook.template.php which is this line of code:

Code Select Expand

echo '<iframe width="100%" height="550" src="http://brianjwilson.com/gb/index.php"></iframe>';
Change that to the place where the guestbook is located

guestbook.php Goes in the sources directory , guestbook.template.php goes in the default themes directory.

Remember to upload those files again over the old files, and put them where they belong.

When i click on the link and look in the info bar at the bottom of FireFox, i get the url to path to peace like 30 times before the full page on your site is loaded, thats why i asked how many hotlinks you have to path to peace to your site
Just hope Aku have free BW on his server

I've just registered there now so i can take a look , Nothing redirects me to path to peace though either? Btw Brian your site layouts a bit messed up from my point of view?

I've seen both logged out and in views and i don't get what you are getting in that screenshot. What browser are you using?
It looks fine with IE7 and if you still get the problem, do you know how to fix the problem

[alan s]

Hmm im using FF 2.0.1 , Its only when im logged out it goes like that , Do you have any hidden code in the template like stat counters or any "invisible" blocks?

[brianjw]

no. i have deactivated blocks and there are some that cant be seen by guests

[brianjw]

Guestbook has some cool skins
