Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 Mods

G'day...

I've been having a bit of fun with mods to Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 on my web site. As I had just got phpBB running with the subSilver template, I decided to have a go at making Advanced Guestbook look similar.

I still have a few icon graphics to tidy up, plus a few more features to add, but it is getting there.

I've not gone live to my user community with it yet, but if you'd like to take a peek, goto http://www.borrett.id.au/guestbook. All of the data from the testing mode will be dumped before I go live.

I'd appreciate any feedback, comments, suggestion.

Best Regards, Lloyd.

G'day...

Before installing Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 to run on my web site at http://www.borrett.id.au/guestbook, I set about making some changes to enable Advanced Guestbook to better suit my requirements.

First, I changed the layout and style of Advanced Guestbook to look similar to that used in the phpBB subSilver theme I was already using in the forums on my web site.

I then modified the Gender field to have a 'not specified' option.

Next I added fields for Yahoo and MSNM, plus an extensive collection of Smilies.

Finally, I added a Country field that displays the flag image of the selected country. (That's been a very popular option with my users.)

Others in the Advanced Guestbook forums helped with specific problems I struck along the way, and in the modification information they had posted in earlier topics.

Thus, in this spirit of co-operation, I am making ALL of my modifications to Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1 available for downloading as a 605 Kb ZIP file at http://www.borrett.id.au/downloads/a...1_lrb_mods.zip.

In the ZIP you will find the file lrb_readme.txt, being an explanation of the modifications I have made. Please read that before you do anything with these modifications.

Please enjoy.

Best Regards, Lloyd.
