A new version of GBook has just been released: 1.7.2

1.7.1 was just a minor change fixing a small bug (disable smileys don't work) and a modification to prevent false antivirus alerts. I hope I have time finish the full version 1.8 soon

1.7.2 fixes a missing language tag in 1.7.1

Hi Klemen,

I never noticed that the disable smileys option did not work, and I have played a lot with the Gbook version 1.7 in the 5 years this version was online. It seems not many users use it, but good to have it fixed anyway.

I am looking forward to see what version 1.8 brings.
It seems to me not as many people use Gbook anymore because not many questions anymore in the forum and my topic with HL-mods does not get as many viewers as it used to.

Greetings,
Henrie

More and more antivirus software marked GBook as a "potential virus" due to the encoded license and spam protection code, so hopefully this is one of the steps helping improve it

I have 1.8 like 80% ready (the changes in 1.7.1 were actually backported from 1., also LinkMan 2.0 (with same UI update as CCount received), just need to find more time to actually finish, test and release them. Oh, an HESK 2.6.0 is also nearing beta status

Hi Klemen,

I looked at the new code and indeed not many changes. But I found that you did not use all the latest Gbook files in your update.

On November 25th, 2009 you have added a translation string that is not included in version 1.7.1
language.inc sign_form.php
In version 1.7.1In version 1.7 Will there be version 1.7.2 soon or just a silent version update with only a new date added in the language.inc file as you did previously?

Greetings,
Henrie

Thanks for the heads up, Henrie. This is exactly why silent updates are bad and should never be used, even if file changes only minutes after publishing...

I released 1.7.2 with this fixed.

I fully agree with you about silent updates.
That is why on my local harddisk the latest GBook 1.7 version I have is version 1.7f

Greetings,
Henrie

You can change this in your settings.php file to

Thank you so much!. That worked perfect.

I have upgraded to V.1.7.2 and all looks fine, with all the old messages displaying, until I try to sign the guestbook when I get a message - "You cannot sign this guestbook at this time!"

I've checked everything many times, including file/folder permissions, but can't see the problem.

Address is http://www.kenilworth.qld.au/gbook/gbook.php

The session_test and phpinfo zip files are in the gbook folder - do they need to be expanded?

Any suggestions appreciated.

I was able to add a message to your guestbook without problems. Try closing all browser windows then try again.

Also see readme.html file for details about the $settings['one_per_session'] variable.

Hello Klemen,

Thanks but I still can't get this to work from my website (www.kenilworth.qld.au). The guestbook opens in a new window and an iframe. Could this be a problem?

Hello Klemen,

Please ignore the last post - discovered an error in the site code accessing an old setup file.

Thanks again,

Dennis James

Hi Klemen,

I installed 1.7.2 but cannot find the possibility to require email address in the settings.php ( Bold ) anymore ?

Jaap.
