[cpg1.4.x]: Advanced Guestbook integrated with Coppermine

[hlabout]

Sorry my mistake.
Here is the template.html file.

[Ludo]

As I've been supposing, the issue was there.
Change

Code Select Expand

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
to

Code Select Expand

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={CHARSET}" />
to have it fixed.

Ludo,

Again thanks for your help.
Changed the code, still no luck.
Foto's show up as foto's

Harald

[Ludo]

Oh, shit...
Please leave one test message in your guestbook, I will take it a look.
I reckon last chance is your guestbook tables charset not set to utf-8...you should check this in your phpMyAdmin or whatever MySQL admin tool your are using

[hlabout]

Ludo,

Test entry made.
Tried to install and use phpMyadmin, no result, just a blank screen after selecting phpMyadmin.
Working on that.

I've just now noticed that your guestbook lacks credits and copyright. Please restore them, or no more support.

[hlabout]

Ludo,

Sorry for that, I just adapted the guestbook to my theme.
Will try to revert and add that information when it is important to you.
Is it okay to place this information in the header/footer using a text data filed?

Harald

[hlabout]

Ludo,

Installed original Footer.

Harald

[Ludo]

Thank you, it's important not only to give credits, but also to verify what version is installed.
Well, I notice that on your pages the ampersand in the HTML entity &#39 gets converted to HTML entity &, while in mine it's rendered correctly. I will first compare version I have installed with one in the archive, should they not match...but they're supposed to.

[Ludo]

But first of all, could you please check if in your guestbook database the phrase "Foto's" is stored like

Code Select Expand

Foto's
or

Code Select Expand

Foto's?

The plural of "foto" is "fotos" in all Indo-European languages that I'm aware of. None of them creates the plural with an apostrophe. Therefore, the best method in terms of orthography, grammar and functionality is to replace "Foto's" with "Fotos".

Joachim,

Fotos would be nice but everyone in the nederlands that is writing in my guest book uses foto's.
Afterwards I correct the entries using the admin function in the guestbook but I get a lot of comments that my guestbook is not working properly.
Perhaps not a big problem but when I can get things solved it is better to do that.

Ludo,

Where can I check my guestbook database, phmyadmin is not working at this moment on my gallery (blank screen after selecting)!

Harald

[Ludo]

You should get it running, I don't know another way to check database entries  :-\

Hello,

I have installed the advanced guestbook as per instructions and have applied the correct permissions.
Whilst everything seems to be working ok, when I goto: http://domain/guestbook.php and click 'Leave a message' nothing happens other than the page going to http://domain/guestbook.php?file=addentry
There is nothing showing to enable me to post a comment.

Can you please advise me?

Many thanks

This mod was written for Coppermine 1.4. It won't work on 1.5.

[EllieG]

Ahhh... I see. Thanks for the reply.

[hlabout]

Ludo,

Accessed my SQL database with phpmyadmin through my hosting company admintools.
Found the phrase foto's stored as foto's in my database.

Harald

[Ludo]

I've just made a "live test" of version 1.0.4 of integration package, on this site's guestbook:
http://foto.oplustil.cz/gallery/guestbook.php
As you can see it works correctly, your troubles are likely due to some setting in your database...

[hlabout]

Ludo,

Thanks for all your help and patience.
Perhaps it is best to delete my database and start all over again.
I hope i can fix this problem in the future.
