Hello,
I've seen the thread about the required email which is super idea, and i would like to do the same with the location, i wanna "force" person to enter a location ( i dont mind if its a fake one like "sin city" or "in my bed"
).
I guess that i must modify gbook.php, settings.php, and language.inc.php.... any idea ?

Hello TheNameless,
You guessed right in what you have to edit.
Here what you ahve to do
Required 'from' field for GBook version 1.7
Edit file
settings.php
Add
Code: Select all
/* The 'from' field is required? 1 = YES, 0 = NO */
$settings['req_from']=1;
Put it before
/* DO NOT EDIT BELOW */
Edit file
gbook.php
Search for (lines 774-777)
Code: Select all
if (empty($name))
{
$error_buffer .= $lang['e03'].'<br class="clear" />';
}
and directly below add
Code: Select all
if (empty($from))
{
$error_buffer .= $lang['hl_e02'].'<br class="clear" />';
}
Edit file
language.inc.php
Change
Code: Select all
$lang['t51']='Where are you from?';
to
Code: Select all

and add

Put it before

both of you forgot to mention
<span class="gbook_location"><?php echo $lang['t51']; ?></span><br class="clear" />
needs to be added to comments.php around line 11 under the
name line
nb: 'location' used in my gbook only

<span class="gbook_location"><?php echo $lang['t51']; ?></span><br class="clear" />
I think you have removed it yourself, in comments.php file is normally the code:
Code: Select all
if ($from)
{
echo '<span class="gbook_submitted_by">'.$lang['t18'].' '.$from.'</span><br class="clear" />';
}
So please look in the original comments.php file not in a modified file.

sorry Henrie, you're right
when i was adjusting the code, at first it didn't work which is why i made the post but then i may well have confused my server with all the changes i've made
i've since taken out my own comment.php suggestion and it obviously still works however with both codes included i'm sure it worked too but i'm
not recommending it!!!
one more question thou'
just kdding because as you said yourself, you ARE expecting them
