include a guestbook?

[schloomania]

i couldn´t understand the whole introduction ?!  
I only installed 'Advanced Guestbook' in include/guestbook

here are my question:

1. How I add a button like 'guestbook' i.g. between 'album-list' and 'favorite pictures'?

2. How I create the site/file guestbook.php?

3. At which position have I to paste the codes in themes.php, my language file and guestbook.php?

I tried much without succeeded

I suggest using Viper Guestbook, which is designed to be includeable. It takes some understanding to include AG.

[schloomania]

ok... I tried Viper Guestbook... but the only problem I have is that I don´t know how I can include vgb to cpg? ... and how I include in the same style like coppermine (theme is 'hardwired) ?
Maybe TranzNDance  could help me further !?

Did you read the instructions on include?

I used the Skeleton skin to use the cpg css style classes. Thing is, I'm not sure if I can share what I've done. Maybe the author allows it for skins. I'll have to check the license. Or ask him when he returns... I think next month.

[schloomania]

yes, I read the Readme for including the vgb... but I didn´t really understand it

Hi in my gallery i added the button to go to my guestbook, but the problem is I want the guestbook to use the same template as the rest of my site..
When i try to go directly to the guestbook.php file i get the following error message:

Warning: Failed opening '/guestbook/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\IBserver\php\includes;C:\IBserver\php\pear') in c:\ibserver\www\fotoforum\guestbook.php on line 6

Can anyone tell me what i have to do to make it work with the template my gallery is using?

uh, which guestbook are you using and does it support inclusion?

[blobnl]

i use 'Advanced Guestbook' ....

[Tranz]

Advanced guestbook does not support inclusion out-the-box unless you have the coding ability to modify the code to do so. Viper guestbook does support inclusion, and I am working on releasing a skin for it that will make it match the gallery template.

Looking forward for this release.. till then i will use it like i do now, with the custom skin that comes with the guestbook.

Tnx for your reply!!!

The Viper Guestbook skin that inherits the theme from the gallery is available here: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=18738.0
