Guestbook v2.5 released

[webtigger]

And up...
Does anyone have a solution for these problems? It seems that these spam-entries cannot be seen via the admin-backend of wb, but how the f#Q!* do they get in the database?

Hello,

just released the Final version of Guestbook 2.5.

Changelog since 2.4

v2.5 Apr 06, 2008
 - added support for edit CSS functions of WB 2.7
 - added ` quotes for all DB queries table names and fields to prevent issues with MySQL special chars like -
 - changed mechanism to prevent files from beeing accessed directly (redirect instead off displaying an error message)
 - added French language file

Requirements:

- To get the css files displayed in the head section of your template and not in the body section, add the following code to the head section of the index.php from your template:

Code:

<?php
if(function_exists('register_frontend_modfiles')) {
  register_frontend_modfiles('css');
} ?>

This code only works in WB 2.6.7 and WB 2.7, if you use a lower version of WB, you don't need to make changes in your template. The css will be displayed in the body tag as it was in previous versions.

- The latest release uses the integrated edit module CSS functions of the WB 2.7 core (introduced with WB 2.7 RC3). To add this feature to WB 2.6.x, one needs to copy the files /framework/module.functions.php and edit_module_files.p hp from a WB 2.7 (RC3 or higher) to the WB 2.6.x installation. In addition one needs to define 3 language variables in the WB language files:

Code:

$TEXT['CAP_EDIT_CSS'] = 'Edit CSS';
$TEXT['HEADING_CSS_FILE'] = 'Actual module file: ';
$TEXT['TXT_EDIT_CSS_FILE'] = 'Edit the CSS definitions in the textarea below.';

How to update

If you use a 2.x Version of guestbook:
- Make a lokal copy of the frontend.css from the guestbook modul
- Install the new version over the existing one
- adapt the new frontend.css with the styles from your lokal copy

If you use a 1.x Version of guestbook:
- Please copy the styles from the guestbook options to a lokal file.
- Install the new version over the existing one
- call once in your browser the  update_to_2_0.php wich you find in modules/guestbook dir.
- Go to the options of guestbook and hit "Edit Css". Add your lokal stored styles to frontend.css.


What needs to be done:

- Email Notification links needs to be adapted

So i hope you like this new version.

Have fun

Hi

I have compledet the installation but now when i try to post a entry in the guestbook. The form has been messed up. I can no longer see the Namn, Mail, Message text that was infront of each column.
And there is also no text on the buttons and the smileys are gone

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

1.) was it a clean new install or a upgrade?
2.) If new clean install try tu uninstall and reinstall. There seems something going wrong during installation.

Matthias

[vasy]

Hi

It was a upgrade

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

so if it was a upgrade, did you follow the steps written above? Also upgrade only overwrites files if the original modul also was installed via WB backend on this server. If the previous version was uploaded via ftp, upgrade via wb backend could not replace the files. So please also check if on your server now only the latest files from the guestbook 2,5 package.

Hi,

There's a strange bug in guestbook module, when viewed in IE6, the 'sign guestbook' link is not shown until mouse over....

here is a link to my site:

Hello,

cannot reproduce this in IE6. All works here in IE6 as aspected.

was it a clean new install or a upgrade of guestbook?

Matthias

[deejvince]

Hi,

Its an upgrade.
Started with 1.9, upgraded to 2.0 RC1 then 2.5.

Maybe it has something to do with the template css ?
i'm not sure it should influence because the addon should have it's own styling..

Regards,
Deejvince

Hello,

so did you follow the advices how to update?

Im using WebsiteBaker for an Intranet Site

Strange Problem with Guestbook 2.5 and IE7 (Firefox 2 works OK)

Only Comment Out the String
"echo str_replace($fvars, $fvalues, $guestbook_footer);"
in view.php helpled.

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

think the issue is not the guestbook code, think you better should look at your template and the css. Removing the code you described above means, that the previous next links didn't now work anymore.

Matthias

[Moscha]

Hmm... the Intranet-Site is almost finished and no other Pages/Page-Modules is showing this Bug and it's only with ie7.
I'll try to search, but do to my really "basic-beginner-skills" it seems to be a longer story

Hello,

we have fixed a security vulnerability in the guestbook module. All versions below 2.6 are affected.

Simply install the version 2.6 from the addons repository over your existing version to solve the issue. Remember to backup changes in the module settings if you have applied any changes there.

Hi folks, I am using the Guestbook in actual version 2.7. Everything ist fine, but.... The captcha function is not changable by Web Interface, but only changing the 0 to 1 in the Mysql Database filed works fine. After changing something new, perhaps mail address puts this 1 again to a 0.

I loke commandlines, but some other guys may not.

Good work, thank you
Matthias

[ruebenwurzel]

Hello,

changing the captchas works only in combination with WB version 2.7
