GuestBook V2 - Wish List

[Mohsin Sumar]

So far I've come up with the following features for the wish list...

• Page Navigation by entering the number of page
  
• Admin tool for GuestBook

Possible to add image for a post?

Im not talking to Storing images in MySQL but have a possible to enter url_of_image and then it saves to table. But then there is a Flash Player Security issues.. Hmm..See DevNet article about Security Changes in Macromedia Flash Player 7

One more thing to be added - A solution to fixing those characters that break the output such as '&' and the rest...

[Mr Jingle]

Would escape and unescape do anything at some stage or urlencode and decode in the php?? This glitch is the guestbooks only downfall, but it's a huge prob, trying for ages to work it out...help!

[Mr Jingle]

I just found a way for the message board to accept ampersands and display other characters, it works for my version of the mx 2004 php / mysql board, which was crashing as yours so I assume this will fix across the board. It ain't perfect, but if you include

$name = htmlentities (urlencode($name));
$email = htmlentities (urlencode($email));
$comments = htmlentities (urlencode($comments));

For your fields at the beginning of your php file ampersands display in the board!! As do + signs and > signs.

Glitches being -- "<" signs wreck the line break and chew the message thereafter, but still don't crash the board. And double quotes (") display with a backslah in front a la    \"    it's untidy, but 5 minutes ago they were crashing the whole thing for me!!

Anyone any ideas for workarounds for these little issues? I'm off to type &&&& all night!!!

Hi,

I recently had some fun with ampersands (and the htmlentities function as well), and I ended up with a series of str_replace() calls

@vesa: loading a plain jpeg image should not be insecure ... or maybe it is. The image could be  a stats gathering tool

I'd like to let the e-mail entries work like e-mail links. So when you click one of the e-mail address entries, a new outlook express
(or something) message will open.. And it would be perfect if the email entries could be underlined too...

The guestbook doesn't seem to work on a mac.. that's a pity because I thought it was perfect..
When I view the example guestbook with a mac, the entry-fields for name, e-mail and message
ain't visible. So you don't know where to type when you want to place a new message.
The guestbook itself isn't visible too, so you can't see any already posted messages.
For a mac user it's impossible to view the guestbook or post a message, what's the problem / solution?

Hi,

adding <a href=mailto:....> to an email address hould not be a big problem, but it restricts use to people who actually use a mail program. How about combining the send email and the guestbook stuff such that a nail form opens instead

About the mac: what browser and player version are you using?

I think I understood.. Do you mean such of a popup including a contact form that will open, when you click an e-mail entry in the guestbook? Would it be possible that the e-mail entry you clicked at, is already entered in the contact form? I'm talking about such of a private message. If this would be too complicated, maybe I still have to choose for the underlined e-mail link...

About my mac issue; Already solved. Now I've tested the gb at other Macs and it worked very well (I'm sorry I opened the issue after testing the guestbook at just one mac).

Hi,

The mailto should give you the hyperlink.
Regarding integrating it with the email / contact form - it would be nice.

Can't spend time on this right now - been a busy month.
May be after I'm through - will put some time into this wish-list.

Hello there,

Could someone tell us where we can see a working sample of the V2 with admi interface ?

Thanks

[Mohsin Sumar]

Hi,

I don't think there is any demo of that, but you could request it from the actual author of the admin panel. Please see this thread, http://www.flash-db.com/Board/index.php?topic=10067
