My work in progress... vBGuestbook
 

I've seen many requests for this hack over the years, and have wanted it myself - so I did what I should have done a long time ago and started reading some php tutorials - I'm thirsty for more to read, so if you know of an invaluable resource, please let me know.

Anyway, I'm sure if you're reading this you want more information on the hack [at present it's an addition, but will be classed as a hack later]. Here's some info on what I have running so far... Oh and in case you were wondering, it's for vB 2. ;)

The hack requires no modification of vB files.
The hack enables you to host guestbooks for your users if you wish, as well as running your own vB powered guestbook.
The hack is fully integrated with the vB user table, so users can post without signing up for any additional services.
The hack uses an individual user account as a base - you can enable a guestbook for a user with one click.
Guestbook entries are listed from newest to olders.
The hack features pagination, with x amount of entries on each page specified by the Admin.
Each users guestbook post has a link to the users profile.
The date and time of each entry is logged and displayed with each post, and also features a server a time offset incase your server is hosted in a different time zone.
The hack can host unlimited guestbooks.
Admin, the user the guestbook is based on, and any user group or user specified by you has the ability to remove entries.
The hack is fully integrated with the vB template system - every aspect is editable via the Admin CP.
HTML is disabled.
vBcode and smilies supported.

I also plan to add a few features over the next few days.

Admin CP integration for settings, therefor not requiring editing of the guestbook.php file.
Server time offset taken from the vB settings, rather than user specified.
I am thinking of adding Guest posting, though I do not really see a need.
Guestbook fields specified by the guestbook owner.
User application for hosted guestbook.
User editable template for guestbook owners.
The ability for guestbook entries to be edited, as well as the reason for editing and vB specified time for editing allowed.

I'm sure there's a lot more I've forgotten to mention [I've been up all night], that will come to mind later. I'd appreciate input and comments on this. As far as a release is concerned, when I am happy with the current build and I have gained permission from the authors of hacks that I have used code for reference and as a base for some parts, I will release it to the Beta area.

Peace. :)

Currently working on guest posting in the guestbook and IP info for guestbook owners - I'll let you know how it goes.

This is great thanks!

whats up :)

PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!! :)

I didn't realise there was any interest in this so I kind of stopped development.

no bro, you have to do it :)

Yes you must!!! PLEASE!!!

Sounds good. I hope unregistered members could post as well, type they're names just so?

Please!! :)

Sorry I've deleted vB2 now. I might eventually convert to vB3, but I have less idea of how vB3 works.

I created once for our portal, why not to release it as a single hack ? :)

Who could be interested ?

I used code from hacks that are not permitted to be re-released. So until I can re-code from scratch I can't release it. :(

i'm interested :P

Release it on everythingvb.com

I can't because it would still be releasing without permission.

I've started working on this for vB3, I'll be re-writing the code so no problems with re-release issues.

Released here :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...886#post490886

This doesn't do what mine does. Mine allows my users to have their own hosted Guestbooks.

update?

plz plz , we want this great hack ( guest book for every user !) vb 2

we will appologize this :disappointed:

It won't be available for vB2 as I lost everything I had in my upgrade to vB3. But a vB3 release is on the horizon.

nice to hear

and i'm thinking to upgrade my forum vb2 to vb3
