Hi,
I want to hide our guest email address from any viewer of my guestbook for security reason (unauthorized reply, etc).
I tried to change the "function printEntries (.... )" at email-links row. I have the result : the gbook page is empty (blank screen: no error message and none of character showed).
Is there any way to hide email address?
Thanks.

Ps. I already read Henrie's modification, that an option for my guest to choose. That's not I mentioned above. thx.

Hi,

This is actually a good idea, having e-mails hidden by default for better privacy and security and only shown to admin after entering a password. Will most likely include it in the next version, until then you can simply delete lines 582-586 in gbook.php (since your edited version doesn't work edit the ORIGINAL one again):

Lines to be deleted are 582-586:

Code: Select all

echo '<br>
<font class="smaller">E-mail:</font> ';
if (strlen($email)>0) {
echo '<a href="mailto:'.$email.'" target="_blank" class="smaller">'.$email.'</a>';
}

Hi, I just wanted to know if that function for hiding the e-mails to public, but still visible for admin, was implemented because I didn't find it.

No, not yet. You will still have to manually edit gbook.php to hide the e-mail address.

i have tried the suggestion but it's still showing the email address on my one at shimmerfx.com can anyone please help me?

In version 1.5 (which you have) find and delete this (lines 895-898):

Code: Select all

if ($email)
{
	echo 'E-mail: <a href="mailto:'.$email.'" class="smaller">'.$email.'</a>';
}

Note that the above code is located TWICE inside gbook.php, delete both or only the second one.
