Reading forum topics, trying to modify style.css and gbook.php


Hello,

first of, I really like the gbook script and I found it easy to customize the look of it to my specific needs.
There's just one thing I couldn't manage to figure out by looking up the style.css and gbook.php:

I want to make the table on the "Sign guestbook" page ("gbook.php?a=sign") smaller.
I'm using an iframe with a fixed size to display the guestbook on my website, and the sign table, as it is now, causes the iframe to create a horizontal scroll bar (which I don't want).

Where exactly can I define the width of that table?


Thanks in advance!
Josh


EDIT:
I would also like to know how I can remove the "Back to homepage" link at the very top of the guestbook. Thank you very much.

Could you tell us what the width of the Iframe is?
This way I can tell you exactly what you have to do to achieve that width.

Greetings,
Henrie

Hi Henrie,

the width of the iframe is 382 px (height is 441).

Hello Josh,

For setting the width, open the file style.css
Go to the end of file and add the following:You can change the value 362 to your desired value.

For removing the "Back to homepage" link at the very top of the guestbook open the file gbook.php
Find lines 1084 and 1085:and change these to Greetings,
Henrie

Hey Henrie,

everything works like a charm now, thanks to you!


I'm really satisfied with the script now. I will place a banner to PHPJunkyard on my site (palmstrokemusic.com) as soon as it is launched.
I feel it's the least I can do...

Josh

Hi Henrie,

I have exactly the same problem as aceattorney (want the textarea less wide) but your solution doesn't work for me. I copied your code to the end of style.css, but there is no difference whether I say 200 or 2000 px. Any idea?

Thanks, Peter (PS: thanks for your reply on the admin by txt, that worked)

The code given is for the sign page. Is that the page you want to change, or do you want to change the width of the pages showing the guestbook entries.

Plus posting a link to your guestbook would be helpfull too.

When you select "schrijf" the problem will be obvious.

Just in case I was not clear: the problem is with the signpage. On the message page things scale along when I scale the iframe, but on the signpage a scrollbox appears.

Ideally, everything would scale on the signpage as well, but to able to fix the sizes of the elements there, would do as well.

Thanks, Peter

You were clear, i just have been having internet connection problems. So i could do nothing.

Open the file gbook.php
And find cols="50" (lines 432 and 877 in GBook version 1.6)
now remove these.
The lines will look like:
Line 432Line 877 Now setting textarea#cmnt { width: 340px; } (or other width value) should work

Probably not anytime soon. It is a pretty long drive just for a drink
