Still no security image

Script URL: http://www.technogeeks.tk/#
Version of script: 15
Hosting company: Nitroserve.nl
URL of phpinfo.php: http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/site/phpinfo.php
URL of session_test.php: http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/sit ... n_test.php
What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution:

Write your message below:

I have this guestbook for an other website working perfectly now, but I want to use it for another site aswell.
Problem is: I can't get the security image.
Whwn I set the option to 2 (text) I keep getting the message "wrong securitynumber".
I've read all the posts about it and while testing the guestbook with the other site on the same server/hoster it was fine, but this one still gives no image.
I don't imagine it has something to do with the .tk forwarding??

gd_test works but I have to use the following url:
http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/site/gd_test.php

technogeeks site is placed in a folder of teramai on the server, not a subdomein.

I've had the same problem. No image when setting "1" in the settings.php and a message about wrong security number when using the setting "2".

My solution was to lower the cookie level below normal.
Give it a try.

I've posted this behaviour in this forum already.

Greetings,
Scorpion

How? It should work for everyone.

And two guestbooks on other sites work perfectly.

Or maybe my problem has to do with the fact that the website is build in php and placed in a database?

It should work under the normal level indeed.

As I mentioned above, i've already another post in this forum to discuss this problem.

Did you test the above solution????

I know, it's not a solution, but than i , and others, know there should be a problem with the creation of cookies in the script.

Tried this at the lowest level, but still no security image

If it doesn't work with privacy set to "medium" or "medium-high" then something is wrong with accepting the session cookie.

Try installing GBook in a separate folder, for example
http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/site/gbook

DON'T EDIT ANYTHING INSIDE gbook.php, just edit the settings, nothing else.

See if that works.

Thats what I did in the first place, but result was a not working site.
I guess thats because the whole site is written in php.

But I tried again and found a line in main.php that I had to change, but now you get a 404 error if you want to write a message.

I'm getting really frustrated about this, would very much like to get it working. At least, it is really importend to some people to get this guestbook working.

Wait a second, if you install GBook in a SEPARETE folder, like
http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/site/gbook
and try to open it like this:
http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/sit ... /gbook.php
you get a non-working site??? That makes no sense.

This is the navigation:

<map name="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,3,125,24" href="main.php?titel=Welkom">
<area shape="rect" coords="6,25,125,44" href="main.php?titel=partypics">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,45,125,64" href="main.php?id=reports">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,64,126,83" href="main.php?titel=about">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,85,127,104" href="main.php?titel=contact">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,106,127,124" href="main.php?id=guestbook">
<area shape="rect" coords="5,124,123,146" href="main.php?titel=links">
</map>

And I assume this also is importent:

<?php

require_once("../../config/config.php");

if($id == "guestbook")
include("guestbook.php");

elseif($id == "reports")
include("reports.php");

elseif($titel == "")
{

So I think it is not possible to open the guestbook with:
http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/sit ... /gbook.php
Or am I mistaking.

But I just don't know enough about php to figure out how to get things done. Sometime I get a result, but that is mostly pure luck and trying and trying over and over again.

The thing is, this is not mine, but made by a guy who is deceaced, but we like to keep the site and the guestbook intact for family and the people who knew him. Sometimes stil people visite the site and talk to the guy in his guestbook, like they are visiting his grave. But for a long time now it was frustrating to go there because of the spam. In the beginning, since I took over the site where the guys site was secretly hosted on the same domein, I did remove all the spam every day. But it became just to much, had to remove about 30 messages from the database manually every day.

Thats why I was thrilled about this guestbook and wanted to give it a try.
After removing about 4000 spam messages I've already got the old messages backinto this new book.
It would really be a good thing to get this one working.

I can say this: there is no more spam in the guestbook!!

It doesn't really matter what your navigation looks like or how the main.php file is written (I think including gbook.php from main.php is the problem in the first place), if you install GBook like it originally comes into a folder you are able to open it by linking directly to gbook.php.

Why don't you try this? Just install gbook in a folder called "gbook", DON'T change any file names or anything except the settings in settings.php file. Then you should be able to open gbook.php directly (without main.php?id=guestbook). Try it and post a link to the folder where you installed gbook here.

Did try this already.

The guestbook is in the folder: gbook15

Changed this line:
<area shape="rect" coords="5,106,127,124" href="main.php?id=guestbook">

into:
<area shape="rect" coords="5,106,127,124" href="main.php?titel=gbook15/gbook">

That gives a message: the page is not present.

I just don't know how to make the navigation in php to work.

Ok, now I know you have GBook installed here:
http://www.teramai.info/technogeeks/sit ... /gbook.php

If you access the above page directly it works fine, like assumed your inclusion in main.php is making the problem.

Use the direct URL and change your navigation to:
<area shape="rect" coords="5,106,127,124" href="gbook15/gbook.php">

(loose the main.php?..., use straight URL to gbook.php)

Still no security image

ps. I made it open in a new screen ( target="_blank") and now it works fine
