Yes, there are quote some new things, I think Henrie will have the new XHTML version ready as soon as I release 1.41 which should be by the end of this week.

Well, the xhtml version will not be ready before june 6 because i am busy with other things untill then. But it will not be to long after that.

Bytheway.
Does anybody know how to convert my old guestbook entries.txt file, because in the xhtml version there now already is an IP field but the new reply field in version 1.4 comes before that so i have to find a way to insert the reply field in my old guestbook before the ip field.
I guess i have to read the old entries.txt file with php and write the entries to a new file with the extra reply field but i don't exactly know how to do it and i could not find a similar script on the internet that i could modify.

Greetings,
Henrie

Henrie, can you give an example of how actually an old entries.txt file looked in xhtml version? Just post a line or two and I will write you something.

If I understood you correctly Henrie, this should do the job (BACKUP before testing!):

Hello Klemen,

I think something is wrong in the script because i get an entries.txt with only the following in it:

Code: Select all

Array

I don't have time to look at what is wrong but i will do so later this evening.
At least i now have a something i can use as a hint to what i must do.

Greetings,
Henrie

By the way a the xhtml 1.35 entries.txt now is:

Code: Select all

Hi,

My mistake, change lin 29 from

Code: Select all

fputs($fp,$lines);

to

Code: Select all

fputs($fp,$newlines);

and let me know if that works ok.

Regards

Hello Klemen,

Thanks for looking at the code again.
When i changed the code at first it did not work.
I looked at the code and played with it (and looked at www.php.net) to better understand it.
When i also changed line 21

Code: Select all

$info=explode($delimiter,$lines[$i]);

to

Code: Select all

$info=explode($delimiter,$myline);

it worked.

Thank you for helping me with this.

Greetings,
Henrie

when can we expect the new XHTML version.?

Henrie · Post by **Henrie** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:47 am

Hello Harrie,

The Xhtml 1.41 version is working for me personally (see http://www.volkelloopt.nl and then choose Gastenboek in the menu).
But it is heavy modified. I have to make it looking like the standard guestbook and check every page to be sure it validates before i publish it here.
I am very busy right now with other things but i will start modifying it after july 24 and i hope to publish it before july 31.

Greetings,
Henrie

I'm in no hurry, the other version is working fine for me. I was curious if you already started or maybe had troubles with the new version. Enjoy your hollidays, the weather is to good to sit inside behind a PC.

I just released the new XHTML version of GBook (mod HL.05). It is based on GBook version 1.43.
For more information see the post viewtopic.php?p=4038#4038 in the GBook add-ons forum.
