I've got a free website to try out stuff and I wanted to have a guestbook. The provider provides 120 free apps you get installed by itself. So I installed GBook. The url of the guestbook is:
https://eludage.ch/Gastebuch/gbook.php

The problem is that the message itself isn't visible. I don't know what's the problem. If I change it to manual approval I get an email with the correct message. So the message is there somewhere but it's not shown in the guestbook.

Can someone please help me.
Thanks and kind Regards

This could be a problem with the entries.txt file. Can you upload it somewhere for me to see?

That's the content of the entries_Vm0qqg0miE.txt

bla test November 8, 2018 1 0 188.155.2.132
Test Test November 8, 2018 0 0 194.230.159.200
Eludage Switzerland November 8, 2018 0 0 188.155.2.132
Panda Germany November 8, 2018 0 0 84.119.18.10

And in settings.php are the following two lines:

/* Name of the file where guestbook entries will be stored */
$settings['logfile']='entries_Vm0qqg0miE.txt';

So it's the right file.

I switched on manually approval for the entry <<Test test>> to see if that fixes the problem.

I've got the following email (I shortend the url with xyz):

Hello!

A new guestbook entry is waiting approval.

Name: Test
From: Test
E-mail:
Website:
Message (without smileys):
Testtest

To APPROVE the entry visit this URL:
https://eludage.ch...

To REJECT the entry visit this URL:
https://eludage.ch/...

End of message

The message "testtest" appeared in the email but not in the entries_Vm0qqg0miE.txt

Thanks in advance
Kind Regards

Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of the country.

Your entries file is corrupted and the message is missing. What caused that I am not sure and unfortunately there is no way to find out. Unless you have an old backup available, I am afraid those entries are gone.

What I would do is:
1. update your guestbook to the latest version, you are using an outdated version
2. reset (empty) the entries file
