Write your message below:

Somewhone wrote a message in the guestbook and made it a private message. Is there a way to change this in to a public message for everybody to read.
Or do we just copy and paste?

Hello Jomar,

There isn't add-on function written for it yet, and I don't have time to write an add-on for this now.
But you can do it by editing the entries.txt (or whatever you have named it) file with a suitable text editor.

A normal entry looks like this:

Code: Select all

Name	From	me@mail.com	http://www.website.com	Message	April 6, 2010	1	0	127.0.0.1

The empty spaces are tabs, when i make those visible (» represents a tab) it looks like this:

Code: Select all

Name»From»me@mail.com»http://www.website.com»Message»April 6, 2010»1»0»127.0.0.1

The field after the date indicates if it is a private post or public post. The message above is a private post, because the value is 1.
To change it to a public post change the value to 0, see example below:

Code: Select all

Name»From»me@mail.com»http://www.website.com»Message»April 6, 2010»0»0»127.0.0.1

Greetings,
Henrie
