Guestbook for advprofile

I think this is a good description of some of the currently available and some worth implementing features of Guestbook module. Actually, most of the features that are not yet implemented, already exist as feature requests in Guestbook's queue.

The only point of this list that should *not* be part of Guestbook module, is:

Message can contain text and media (should be an admin option)

This is clearly related to input formats and filtering of guestbook entry contents. IMHO, Guestbook should only allow to select an input format for guestbook entries, so any of the existing input filters can be used to embed images and other media. However, that might require to convert guestbook entries into nodes (http://drupal.org/node/72607).

# Profile owner / Users can reply to that message and optionally copy it to the guestbook of the person they are replying to.
http://drupal.org/node/204552 - however, badly needs a thorough concept.

# Profile owner can restrict views / comments on guestbook to all users / just friends / others?
- no existing feature request -

# Profile owner can delete comments on own guestbook
AFAIK, already possible. Also important: (Optionally) allow owners to edit entries: http://drupal.org/node/61968

# View options should be recent messages on the profile and all messages on separate page. Possibly 1-1 like facebook has, though I'm not sure that's necessary.
http://drupal.org/node/34484

# Integration with activity
- no existing feature request - however, http://drupal.org/node/60632 sounds similar

# Integration with subscriptions or other ability to get emailed when there is a new comment
AFAIK, already built-in. (Should be an integration, though)

# Option for private comments / whisper (Maybe. Not sure that's much different than sending a PM)
- no existing feature request -

# Ajax where possible (I don't know ajax so this would take someone volunteering)
- no existing feature request -

# New comments marked as such
AFAIK, already built-in.

# Total number of comments / new comments at top of guestbook
http://drupal.org/node/147612

Very accurate list!
I would Add the possibility to theme the guestbook.
Maybe that is "doable" now, but couldn´t find how ... yet :)

_{Profile owner / Users can reply to that message and optionally copy it to the guestbook of the person they are replying to}

The default behavior of all social webs is :

when profile owner clicks 'reply' to the person they are replying
she/he is taken to the profile or profile guestbook comment textarea of the person they are replying to

OR ( which is even better )

the reply box opens up in her/his own page but the reply actually gets deposited at the guestbook of the person they are replying to ( ajax or not ajax )

The guestbook module already has box opening up in her/his own page BUT the reply gets deposited there itself instead of getting deposited at the gusetbook of the person they are replying to.

would be possible (will be it hard?) to do guestbook view (in views2) like you did in drupal 5? the view could be nice integrate into everything.

thanks for the answer

hi

I remember something like that: before advanced profile module was created, the concept with supported files and docs, point by point could be downloaded on your page, shell multimedia. I created my first nice node profile under drupal 5 1 and half year ago. Inside support files there was file (hacked file, I can't remember, for guestbook, some views template I think.)

Maybe I am wrong, and what I remember is something different, in this case, sorry about it.

I have site users frequently asking me to delete comments from their advance profile guestbook - and wondering why they are unable to delete even their own comments. Did anyone find a solution to this?

OK Michelle - will do, and thanks for the link.
