Hi!

I've just installed Drupal 5.x and need to get hold of a working version of the guestbook.module. Since it's not on the list of modules being updated I really would like to know if there is anyone who's done an update and be willing to pass it along.

Thanks
Nicolas

Raises hand, I too am looking for this..

I read awhile ago where it was possible to set up cck to work as a guestbook, which I tried (badly I might add) as I couldn't find the thread again, it seems to have disappeared.

Are there plans to upgrade the guestbook mod? trust me if I knew how I would, but I have to rely on the generosity of the drupal community to do it, sorry.

Regards and thanks
Rhonda

i modified the normal guestbook and so far it works without problems except for commenting oder deleting an entry. i have never worked with php before and i am not very anxious to learn it, but with my current knowledge i seem to be unable to get this working - so it would be great if someone could continue my patch and incorporate deleting and commenting :)
if anyone feels like helping the community i may send them the code.

I have a spam-free (so far) guestbook running on my website wich works with the latest release (5.1) of Drupal.

[Edit: The link is no longer available]

(This is ONLY a testwebsite, so it could be that this page disapears after a couple of days ;-) )

I included my former guestbook inside a "node".

thank you J-B!

This looks good and would suit me fine, however my brain is so fried at the moment I just can't figure out how to put it inside a 'node' would you mind terribly sharing the code please?

Thanks again
Rhonda

In fact it is quite simple :-D.

Just install the guestbook in your Drupal directory, in a (new if it doesn't exist) map called "node".
(You 'll find the link on my website to install it)

Then I took a new page (Create content => Page) and then ad a php include code in it include('the/url/to/gbook.php')

By "Input Format" tick the box next to "PHP code".
Insert that and that's it!

Note: I know this isn't the best way to fix this, but i needed a guestbook VERY fast. So that's my "fast solution".
Also, your members have to type there names, even when there already logged in.
If there is anyone with a better solution, please let me know.

Someone knows how to edit your own messages?

EDIT: (mmzz... strange, I can edit this message, but I can't change the others :s )

Hello I am using guestbook 5.1 , I want a link back for the user's guestbook who write a comment on my guestbook. there is a reply link but that reply get publish on the same page in My Guestbook. I want a link that will take me to the guestbook page of the commenter in my GB.
it will like this. I am - www.abc.com/guestbook/1 and my commenter is www.abc.com/guestbook/2.
I want a link below the post. which will take me to the guestbook of user 2 in this case.

Another thing. here in Guest book username does not get highlited means they are not a link to their profile page. how to make these user name active link?

Thanks
