Manual Approval of Posts Guest Book

Post by Nixlyn »

Script URL:www.newhomeslondon.net/guests/gbook.php
Version of script:1.7
Hosting company:Heartinternet
URL of phpinfo.php:
URL of session_test.php:
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: approval, manual approval of posts

Write your message below:
First of all I have just found the software and generally really like it! However before I part with some dosh I need to clear up a glitch I am having with the manual approval of email posts for my client.
The email arrives informing him that a post is waiting for approval/rejection and when you click on the link it goes to a 404 page.
I have re-read the notes and searched but can't find any specific error that I have made.
I do require very specific instructions if I need to alter code!

Help please

I can only reproduce that error when i have a wrong value inserted in my settings.php file for $settings['gbook_url']='http://www.domain.com/gbook/gbook.php';

Please check if you have the correct value there:

Code: Select all

$settings['gbook_url']='http://www.newhomeslondon.net/guests/gbook.php';

I do not monitor the Gbook forums regularly anymore since I do not use the Gbook script myself anymore for a long time. But it helped me a lot in learning to understand php.

Dear Henrie

I did have public_html in the url link which I have taken out now but can't check as it will not let me post yet as it says that I already have a message waiting for approval - its a bit late to call my customer to ask him to check the links again!

Is there a way that I can get rid of this message now?

Best Regards

Nick

Hello Nick,

You can manually remove the message to be approved if you have access to the server.
Log in to the server, browse to the gbook folder.
Open the apptmp folder and remove message with the extension .txt
Now the message to be approved is removed.
It can also not be approved or rejected by the approval e-mail because it is deleted like it was rejected.

Greetings,
Henrie
