I've downloaded this guestbook for use in Wysiwyg Web Builder (my site is not yet online) but it seems I can't preview the guestbook layout.
I understand I cannot make it work in preview but is there no way to check what I did before publishing?

If the preview function of Wysiwyg Web Builder is not able to display the GBook (I do not know if it can handle php) you should indeed publish it to see the preview. Maybe it is possible to only publish the GBook folder as that is all you need to check the layout of the guestbook. This way other people will not see your website yet and you can still check the layout by going to the right URL.
An other way is to use/install a webserver (like http://www.usbwebserver.net/en/ ) on your local computer and copy your guestbook files there and check the layout in your webbrowser.

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.

thanks, Henry! now I at know at least that the preview didn't show up because something I did wrong.
seems like a very nice tool, that usbwebserver, I will certainly try it out!

Bedankt voor het drankje :)
Thank you for the drink. I hope you do not mind me taking a non-alchoholic drink :wink:

If you have any more questions do not hesitate to ask. And please do not buy me drinks anymore for so little help, it is meant more for those people who request bigger things that sometimes take more than an hour to answer.

Groeten,
Henrie
