Hi,

Just getting to grips with this script and loving it. I have a question.

Is it possible to show a short message which will appear on the pages where you view the guestbook only, ie. I don't particularly want the message in the header.txt or overall_header because I don't want to see it on the Sign Guestbook or Admin pages. If you go to my guestbook at http://www.hibbitt.org.uk/guestbook/gbook.php I'm referring to the introduction text under The Guestbook heading. I tried placing it in the comments file but it appears with every comment so that's no good.

I don't really know php so some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Annie,

To do this you can change overall_header.txt
Change

Code: Select all

<!--CUSTOM HEADER -->
<?php
include('header.txt');
?>
<!--CUSTOM HEADER END -->

to

Code: Select all

<!--CUSTOM HEADER -->
<?php
include('header.txt');
/* Get the action parameter */
$a = isset($_REQUEST['a']) ? gbook_input($_REQUEST['a']) : '';
if (empty($a)) {
echo 'Text only to be displayed on the view guestbook page.<br />';
}
?>
<!--CUSTOM HEADER END -->

Just be carefull not to use single quotes in your text line. Or if you have to, escape them using a backslash (\')

Greetings,
Henrie
