Hi there, i was wondering if anyone could help me.

I'm a proud user and tinkerer of your lovely Gbook script. What i was wondering was if anyone knew some code for allowing the guestbook to be skinnable?

I'm working on creating some interesting MODs for the guestbook - just added an IP Logger - and i've decided that i skinning feature could be quite nice!

I had a drop down menu with a few skins - taken from css stylesheets.

Does anyone know how to do this? As the tutorials online seem to want you to create 3 or 4 different pages, while i just need it for the one gbook.php page.

Thanks, my email is:

firstly you need this javascript file

http://www.fgps.com/keith/GBook/skinner.js

place it within the same folder as gbook.php !

secondly, find this inside gbook.php

<html>
<head>
<title>$settings[gbook_title]</title>
<meta content=\"text/html; charset=windows-1250\">
<link href=\"style.css\" type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">
</head>

and replace with

<html>
<head>
<title>$settings[gbook_title]</title>
<meta content=\"text/html; charset=windows-1250\">
<link href=\"style.css\" type=\"text/css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">
<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"Skinner.js\"></script>
<link rel=\" stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"S1.css\" title=\"F1\">
<link rel=\"alternate stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"S2.css\" title=\"F2\">
<link rel=\"alternate stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"S3.css\" title=\"F3\">
<link rel=\"alternate stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"S4.css\" title=\"F4\">
<link rel=\"alternate stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"S5.css\" title=\"F5\">
</head>

assuming you've done this, now put this inside your header.txt file.

<table width="120" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="24"><div align="center"><a href="#" onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('F1'); return false;">A</a></div></td>
<td width="24"><div align="center"><a href="#" onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('F2'); return false;">B</a></div></td>
<td width="24"><div align="center"><a href="#" onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('F3'); return false;">C</a></div></td>
<td width="24"><div align="center"><a href="#" onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('F4'); return false;">D</a></div></td>
<td width="24"><div align="center"><a href="#" onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('F5'); return false;">E</a></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

and last but not least,

copy your style.css 5 times and rename them s1.css, s2.css, s3.css, s4.css, s5.css( now play around with the colourings etc etc within each one, remember to leave the original one intact incase of any errors)

voila, now you have the basis to play around with, that above is exactly what makes mine do what you viewed.

this is a cookie based javscript file, it creates a cookie,so it will remember what colour settings you chose, and display them next time you visit.(unless of course you empty your cookie pot and internet folders etc)
