  1. Thorsten Says:

    Hi.

    first of all… thank you for a great plugin! :-)

    I got 2 questions if you don’t mind.

    1. I have set the form to show at the bottom but the quick jump doesn’t seem so recognize the page. When i click on it it leads me to the homepage in form of http://www.website.com/#guestbookform and not http://www.website.com/page/#guestbookform

    i’ve seen that the url can be set in dmsguestbook.php manually but is there a way to set it within the options page in admin? Did i missed something?

    2. The Error and Success Messages are showing on top of the entries as well as on top of the form. Is there a way to have them only displayed once?

    Thanks again for a great plugin!

    Regards,
    Thorsten

    Hi Thorsten

    1.) This sounds strange, give me access to your wordpress admin page. I will see what get wrong. Send it to: dmsguestbook (at) danielschurter (dot) net

    2.) This is ok, because some guestbook post list could be long and it’s very helpful to see what happen after submit a post.

    I can’t setting in the “basic”.what is wrong?

  4. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Charlee
    Did you mean:
    You can’t see the basic settings or nothing will save after pressed the save button?

    Hi! thanks for a plugin! Nice! Using it for a long time!
    But i’ve got some questions :
    1. Is there a possibility to enter “Leave message” in national (cyrillic, rusian) language? Now I enter – and it breaks all the code, none part of the guestbook shows, except header.
    2.Is there a possibility to turn off html sanitizing? I have a huge number of records made using html, now many of them lok ugly :( (
    3. Do you plan adding “answer” feature? Now I ned to edit every message and add my answer to a feedback by hand, directly in a record …
    But thanks again – great plugin!

  6. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Dimo

    1. It seems a problem with all-in-one-seo-pack and DMSGuestbook, deactivate all-in-one-seo-pack temporary to see what happens.
    2. HTML tags are coming…
    3. There are no plans for an “answer” field. Maybe later…

    Greetings,
    Dani

  7. dimo Says:

    oops, strange problem. anyway, thanx, will try.
    and will be looking forward to html tags!
    thanks :)

    hallo

    habe auf version 1.12.1 upgedatet. Jetzt wird Capthca nicht mehr angezeigt. Chmod 777 ist gesetzt. Bitte um Hilfe.

    Gruß

  9. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hallo Babak
    Mail mit captcha.php von der 1.12.0 Version ist unterwegs…

  10. Arne Hansen Says:

    Hey. I can’t seem to change the message field in size.
    In Opera it looks like this: http://midlertidig.be/Opera.jpg
    In IE it looks like this: http://midlertidig.be/IE.jpg
    And your guestbook looks like this in Opera: http://midlertidig.be/daniel-s.jpg

    Why can’t I change the value of the message box to look like yours?

    dmsguestbook.css is writable, but nothing changes when I try to change the size (which is 80% by the way in pt. 8)

  11. courela Says:

    hallo daniel,
    welchen code muss ich in meine sidebar.php eingeben, um die ausgabe der letzten gästebuch-einträge zu erwirken? ich arbeite ohne widgets, daher die frage. besten dank im voraus für dein feedback.
    ´s grüßle

  12. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Arne

    It’s could be a problem with your theme. Change it to the default and try again.
    Textfield css settings are starting by number (4) in your css panel.

    Dani

  13. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hallo Courela

    Dafür müsstest du das widget.php umschreiben.
    In der Zeile 134 beginnt die Datenbank Abfrage, diese könntest du benutzen um an die Gästebuch Daten zu gelangen, welche du dann mit irgendeiner Formatierung an deine Sidebar bindest.

    Gruss,
    Daniel

  14. courela Says:

    hallo daniel,
    erstmal thx für die schnelle antwort. werde das mal testen…

  15. Dieter Says:

    Moin Daniel,

    wunderbares Plugin, was auch schon mal bei uns lief….

    Nur leider habe ich es ein paar mal versucht zu aktivieren und immer wieder eine weiße Seite bekommen, was tun?
    Andere Plugins abgeschaltet, kein Erfolg, nur eben wenn ich DMSGuestbook 1.12.1 deaktiviere, läuft die Seite wieder?!?!

    Gruß Dieter

  16. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hallo Dieter

    Erstelle mir doch bitte einen WordPress Admin Account und ich schaue mir das Ganze rasch an.
    Sende mir die Daten bitte auf: DMSGuestbook (at) DanielSchurter (dot) net

    Gruss,
    Daniel

  18. Stefan Says:

    Ich habe eine ungewöhnliche Frage, welche mir nach stundenlangem surfen im Internet nicht beantwortet werden konnte. Wie kann ich zwei page id’s eintragen?

    Ich bin ein ziemlicher Newbie und habe folgendes Problem: WordPress, DMSGuestbook (was übrigens spitze ist ;) und Gengo installiert. Gengo ist ein bilingual Plugin für meine englisch/japanische Seite. Eine Page “Guestbook” in englisch habe ich angelegt und die page_id bei DMS eingetragen. Da meine japanischen Besucher aber auch zugreifen können, habe ich eine zweite page “Guestbook (japanisch) erstellt. Das Gästebuch wird dann mit japanisch und englischen Texten gefüllt. Im Moment sehen meine japanischen Kollegen kein Gästebuch (logisch).

    Wäre froh wenn mir jemand einen Tip geben könnte..
    Danke & Gruss
    Stefan

  19. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hallo Stefan

    Das setzen von zwei Page ID’s ist nicht möglich, DMSGuestbook läuft nur im Single Modus.
    Ich lass mir diesbezüglich mal was einfallen, vielleicht in einer späteren Version :-)

    Gruss,
    Dani

  20. Uwe Says:

    Hi,

    ich habe jetzt das plugin in wp 2.6.3 installiert und aktiviert, sehe aber ums Verrecken keinen Admin-Link? Sehr seltsam, denn damit kann ich leider nicht die page id setzen.

  21. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hallo Uwe

    Sende mir bitte auf DMSGuestbook(at)DanielSchurter(dot)net deine WordPress Zugangsdaten, dann schaue ich mir das Ganze mal kurz an.

    Gruss,

  22. Tadies Says:

    how can i add smilies to this pretty cool guestbook?

    im used to use the smiles plugin

    and there for ya could just import this in comments php>>

    can use this too or is there anohter way?

    i did try to import it…..
    sofar it does show the smilies but i can’t klik on them…

    drag and drop wil show only the link to it..

    any idea?

    gracias!

  23. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Tadies

    I’ve never tested a smilies plugin with DMSGuestbook.
    DMSGuestbook support the WordPress built-in smilies well if these are activated.

    Otherwise, you could add new smillies in wp-include/function.php.
    Search the function: “smilies_int” in the line 1861 and add your own smilies shortcut. The smilies image folder will be found under wp-include/images/smilies.

    After then, you could set all smilies images on the top your guestbook page with a description how to use it.

    Use this at your own risk, make a copy of your function.php and be careful. :-)

    Attention: After a WordPress update all changes would be lost!

    Greetings,
    Dani

    This could your help

  25. Frank Braun Says:

    Hallo,
    seit dem Upgrade wird die Captcha-Graphik nicht mehr angeziegt. Könntest du mir bitte auch die ältere Version zuschicken?

    Danke und Grüße
    Frank

  26. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hallo Frank

    Die Version 1.12.0 ist hier zu finden: http://downloads.wordpress.org.....1.12.0.zip

    Du brauchst aber nur das captcha.php unter captcha zu ersetzen, dann sollte es bei dir wieder gehen.

    Gruss,

  27. Neddi Says:

    Hi

    I’ve been trying to set upp your guestbook on my website. The plugin is installed and activated, the page ID is right and the database is ready.

    But the guestbook still can’t be seen. I’m using wordpress 2.6.3.

    Is the plugin incompateble with this version of wordpress?

    Regards
    Neddi

  28. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Neddi

    DMSGuestbook ist compatible with WP 2.6.3.

    - Did you set a page (not post) id in your DMSGuestbook admin panel?
    - Is the status of your guestbook page on public?
    - Did you change the template to the default one. (Some templates makes problem)
    - Did you de-select all plugins except the DMSGuestbook?

    In doubt, create an admin account for me and send me this to: DMSGuestbook(at)DanielSchurter(dot).net

    I will check this as soon as possible.

    Daniel

  29. Erik Says:

    Hello! Love you guest book-plugin, but I have a problem. When I’m trying to upgrade to 1.12.1 from 1.12.0 my guest book just get att database error. What should I do to make the upgrade possible?

  30. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Erik
    I need a little bit more information about your database error :-)
    Could you get me access to your WP admin panel? I can check this a soon as possible.

    Daniel

  31. Erik Says:

    An email is sent to you.
    I also have a problem with SPAM on my guestbook…

  32. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Erik
    I’ve switched the captcha to graphical, this could help to prevent spam.

    Dani

  33. Richard Says:

    Hi Daniel,

    I am trying to resolve a problem, but I could not find any help yet. I have a test blog up and running (WP 2.6.5) and since a few days, I get this message while posting a new entry to the guestbook:

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: Access denied for user
    ‘wwwrun’@'localhost’ (using password: NO) in /www/htdocs/w006f4e3/testwp/wp-content/plugins/dmsguestbook/dmsguestbook.php on line 214

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: A link to the server could not be established in /www/htdocs/w006f4e3/testwp/wp-content/plugins/dmsguestbook/dmsguestbook.php on line 214

    Then, I get the thank you message but the entry just shows up empty (No post and a timestamp from 1970). It has been working fine thus far… Do you know what this could be?
    Best,
    Richard

  34. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Richard

    It seems to be you don’t have access to database, check you username and password.

    Best regards,
    Dani

  35. Richard Says:

    Hi Daniel

    Thanks for your quick reply! Yeah, it looks like it. But then, WordPress is working fine. I can use all features such as posting new articles and so on. Other plugins work fine too. PHPmyAdmin is working aswell. What seems strange to me is that the guestbook has been working.

    I deleted the plugin and reinstalled it again, but it did not change anything. Where can I check if the guestbook has access to the database?

    Best,
    Richard

  36. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Richard

    - Do you use DMSGuesbook 1.12.1?
    - Was this problem occur after upgading to WordPress 2.6.5 or later?
    - Do you see other guestbook datas on your guestbook site? (if yes, you have read access to you database)
    - Is the database user: “wwwrun” set in your wp-config.php? (Do you log in your phpMyAdmin panel with this user?)

    Dani

  37. Richard Says:

    Hi Daniel,

    - Yes, I use DMSGuestboot 1.12.1
    - No, the problem is not related to a WP upgrade.
    - Yes, I can see the entries previously posted
    - I googled wwwrun and this seems to be Apache. This is not my DB user. The DB user in wp-config.php is a different one. The same one of phpMyAdmin. This user works in order to connect to MySQL. But as soon I try writing a new guestbook entry, the connection is not made with the mysql user, but with the user wwwrun (Apache).

    When I try to think when the problem started, I think it’s when I restored the settings of DMSGuestbook… What I could do now is to completly drop wp_dmsguestbook and in wp_options all the entries done by DMSGuestbook and see if it helps.

    Or do you think this could be related to file permissions?

    Best,
    Urs

  38. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Urs

    I don’t think so, the file permission hasn’t related with this issue.

    - Did you have also problems with the DMSGuestbook admin panel? Could you saved any entries?
    - Did you downloaded the whole DMSGuestbook from the server again?

    You could install the xampp.org on your local machine, copy the WordPress and DMSGuestbook on this webserver and try it again.

    Dani

  39. Bonnie Woolley Says:

    Hi, Daniel.

    I’m enjoying using your plugin, which works perfectly. I have a feature request, however: I’d like to add extra fields to the guestbook and change the names of some others. I’m finding that people tend to use it as a chat room, and I’d like to make several fields obligatory, like:

    1. Name
    2. Dates visited the center (watopot.org)
    3. Testimonial
    4. Show my email? (Toggle “yes” or “no”)

    I’d be very happy to be able to do those things!

    Thanks for your hard work…

  40. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Bonnie
    Thank you for your feedback.

  56. Greg Ogburn Says:

    Thanks for the great plugin! Everything is working fine except that guestbook entries are only shown for logged-in users. Can they be shown to public users?

  57. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Greg

    I’ve tried out and it seems to be working fine.
    Is this problem solved?

    Dani

  58. Greg Ogburn Says:

    Yes (and thanks for the guestbook post). It looks like there was an incompatibility with the wp-cache plugin. I added /guest-book/ (the page slug for the guestbook page) to the list of exclusions in wp-cache and it’s working fine now. Hope that helps others! Maybe DMSguestbook could call wp-cache to expire the relevant page when a new guestbook entry is added/deleted/approved.

  59. Andrew Bernardin Says:

    Daniel -
    Thanks for making this plugin.
    The website feature seems to only be able to link to an url of a specific length or less. Is there any way to lengthen it?

  60. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Andrew

    The input field for url on DMSGuestbook is limited to 50 chars length.
    You could expand this with a tool like phpmyadmin.
    Look out for the url field in wp_dmsguestbook and change this.

    Kind regards,
    Ewald Jozefzoon

  64. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Ewald

    Try to deactivate the “accessibility mode” in “Appearance -> Widget”, that could solve the problem.

    hello daniel
    i am using the latest DMSGuestbook 1.17.1
    i have not read the other questions above so i’m sorry if i’ve ben asking the same question as theirs
    just want to ask
    1. why is it that im receiving a prompt of “Wrong letter-number combination” when im using the captcha image? when in fact i am typing the correct combination?
    mathematical figures works okay
    but i wanna use the antispam image
    thanks for the very nice plug-in..
    2. and how can i activate my dmsguestbook.css? it’s inactive. if i make changes in the .css, will it take effect? thank you so much

  66. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Mae

    1.) Use reCAPTCHA if you have problems with captcha image.
    2.) Don’t overwrite the dmsgustbook.css manually. Change your css setting in “DMSGuestbook -> Guestbook settings -> CSS”.
    3.) Tell your questions about DMSGuestbook 1.17.1 here.

    Hi Daniel,
    sorry just sent you a ail before seeing this page.

    I use wordpres 3.01 and cover-WP theme. I am building my site currently. I installed DMS and have 2 pb:

    1- the DMS widget does not appear into the WP widget list???Any idea why?
    2 – is it possible to switch the order between the leave a message box part and the published message display part?

    my site (under construction since few days lol)
    http://www.perspective-placement.fr

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance

    Sylvain

  68. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi sylvain

    1 – Did you activated the DMSGuestbook widget on your plugins section?
    2 – Yes, go to: “DMSGuestbook -> Guestbook settings -> Basic -> Guestbook form position:” and switch to “bottom”

    Greetings,
    Dani

  69. sylvain Says:

    Thanks a lot, next time i will try to open my eyes wider….but i might have the same kind of stupid question tomorrow. lol. Thanks Daniel, for your plugin and patience…

  70. Daniel Schurter Says:

    You’re welcome, sylvain…

  71. Sylvain Says:

    Hi daniel, new question maybe more tricky. if you check my sidebar you will see different widget including yours (named in french “les témoignages”) and other ones named “les commentaires” (= recent comments) and sondage (=poll). I noticed that there is a slight difference between the style of your widget and the 2 others : You will see that yours is lacking the little dashed red separator between each entry as well as a little bullet point in front of each of the entry. I don’t know where this difference comes from.? I was not successful in trying to solve this, it is a detail but it is annoying me strongly. Any idea what i could do to fix it? Maybe coding something in your widget but where and what? Thanks a lot in advance. Sylvain

  72. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Sylvain

    There is a way to change the whole DMSGuestbook widget design.
    Go to “Appearance -> Widget -> DMSGuestbook widget” and edit the HTML/CSS code in the “Header”, “Data” and “Footer” section.

    Greetings,
    Dani

  73. Sylvain Says:

    Thanks Dani. It worked out.

  74. magpie Says:

    I have recently installed the DMSGuestbook on its own page and it works fine.

    However, the DMSGuestbook widget (version 2.50) is installed, but it will not drag over the the sidebar from the ‘Available Widgets’ list, although it is listed.

    I’m using WordPress 3.1.1 and the Atahualpa theme

    Thank you

    magpie

  75. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi magpie

    Try to activate the accessibility mode on the “Screen options” on the right top corner of the widget section, that could help to solve your problem.

    Greetings,
    Dani

  76. magpie Says:

    Hello Dani

    Thank you for your very prompt reply!

    Yes, your suggestion worked fine and now the DMSGuestbook widget appears on my sidebar.

    I have made a small donation – I appreciate good WordPress plug-ins and prompt replies to queries.

    Well Done!

  77. Jaidesign Says:

    Hi Dani,

    Thanks for a very good plugin.

    I need to have two separate styles in a theme that we develop (light and dark).

    I have read your answers about css above (“not change the css file directly, but in the options..”). However, this is not an option in our case with two (or more) styles for the theme.

    Is there a way to turn off the possibility to change the css in the admin option and/or “force” the plugin to read from a one or more css files instead.

    As you know, deleting or changing the write permissions to the dmsguestbook.css file, and include our our custom css in, for instance, dark.css and light.css does not work since the system then reads the settings from the DB..

    hope you can help :)

    Regards,
    Jaidesign.

  78. Daniel Schurter Says:

    Hi Jaidesign

    You can add your own css file in the dmsguestbook code.
    Open admin.php, search “/* add css to header */” and replace your own css file instead of echo ' Leave a Reply
