Private messages are invisible

Post by TheNameless »

Hello, i'm having a problem on my guestbook, the private messages are invisible ! :

and when i pass my mouse on it, i can the message :

http://img508.imageshack.us/i/sanstitre2ww.png/

so my question is : " how to make it visible ?"

i tried to edit the css, but nothing...

i guess there is something to change in "gbook.php",

the tag of the private message is "t58" .

The text you are referring to should always be visible.
PLease post a link to your guestbook because the screenshots do not give me a clue as to what might be causing the behavious you get.

Did you edit the gbook.php file or any of the template files? In the case you did, does it also happen when you use the original (not editede) files?

I assume the problem is encoding - the message contains chars not supported by your encoding.

If you did any modifications to the GBook try the original files.

Also try changing
$lang['enc']='windows-1250';
in file language.inc.php to an encoding you use or to
$lang['enc']='utf-8';
This might not help with old posts, but try new ones.

Like Henrie said, post the URL of your guestbook so we can test it.

To hide the Powered by PHP Guestbook 1.7 from PHP Scripts link at the bottom of the page you have changed

Code: Select all

a{font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #003399; text-decoration:underline;}
a:hover{font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #003399; text-decoration:none;}
to a transparent color

Code: Select all

a{font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: transparent; text-decoration:underline;}
a:hover{font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: transparent; text-decoration:none;}
this causes the link text to be displayed transparantly.

When changing the text color to a readable color you will fix your problem and it will also allow you to use the guestbook without purchasing a license.

Also change the color in

Code: Select all

body{margin:0; padding:0; background-image:url(images/bg.png); background-repeat:repeat; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color:transparent;}
to a readable color to display the rest of the "Powered by" text.

To remove the "Powered by" link, read the readme.html file:
readme.htm wrote:Removing copyright notice ("Powered by" links)
Removing any of the copyright notices without purchasing a license is expressly forbidden. To remove GBook copyright notice you must purchase a license. For more information on how to obtain a license please visit the page below:

You could have tried to contact Klemen about the 404 page for the copyright removal instead of breaking the copyright...
