I would like to be able to have a message display on my website to an individual user when he/she receives a new guestbook entry. Would I use Rules to do that? If so, what custom code would I have to input in order to make this work?

Thanks in advance

Isn't there a message displayed already?

No there is not. I am looking for a way to display the message on the top of the content (much like privatemsg does when you receive a new message). If you are able to do that with your installation, please let me know how you do it.

Well, the code I see says:

  drupal_set_message(t('Your message has been added.'));

The 'your message has been added'-message is displayed to user Y at the moment she adds the entry.
I think mrwizkid means that he would like a message to be displayed to user X to notify him that a new entry was made to his guestbook, probably at login-time.

That's exactly what I need. Does anyone know how to code this? Thanks.

A pitty that guestbook entries are no nodes. That would allow entries to appear in the "tracker" view for any new content on the site. Or ist there a workaround to have entries "tracked"?
Probably Guestbook 2.0??
