THIS SCRIPT IS NOT FOR COMPLETE NEWBIES!
If you are not used to changing script code. Please let someone else do the job for you that know more 'scripting'.

This script requires modification to your database.

I take no responsibily as to what happens to your website after you install this script.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy my contribution!

Wait for the new version. It holds all the fixes and tweaks that might've been necassary before. It has a language file from where you can control all the texts. And also a HTML settings file for colors, font face, text sizes etc.

Bit more advance editor. You can choose either to go hardcore HTML (where just a handful of HTML tags are allowed (up to admin to set)), or take use of the vBulletin's WYSQMFAAS12F (never remember how to spell it out, haha! ) editor.

And there will be more usergroup options, such as the ones mentioned earlier by a member here. Things like: can post, can view, can edit .. etc.

I will supply you with a INSTALLATION UPDATE file also. It won't be overly dramatic to do the upgrade. I'll try to keep it simple.

Cool Swedie, Is the guestbook html going to be a new template too? Or will it still be hard coded?

I should probably release this new update. But I'd like an admin to delete this thread, as the new version is way better.

Swedie it doesn't work like that, this thread will stick around,

you have to edit the text in the first post you made and attach the new files...That's how it used to work around here allright ;D

Full feathered version will now also include a notification feature either by Email or PM.

Good you got it working.

Well the script is now almost final for release! I have a few more functions to add but the major stuff has been implemented and appears to be working nicely.

Can't wait. With my luck you'll release it tomorrow morning and it will tease me all day while I'm working.

Installed a new language system controlled through vBulletin administration area.

I have yet to add the "can post", "can view" feature.

If you wish for more features, list them!

[KTBleeding]

Hmm, well these are just me being picky.. and I think you already plan on doing some of them, but just incase..

- Show users avatar when they comment in the gustbook.. (if someone doesn't want it they can remove it from the template.. so you don't have to add a "yes/no" option in the admincp)
- Guestbook is on by default.
- Guestbook HTML is a template rather than hardcoded (this isn't a big deal, just makes it easier to skin )


That's about all I can think of. Maybe allow HTML in the guestbook (basic img, b, i, etc) or allow guestbook attachments that create thumbnails, like vb does. That's not really all that wanted for me though.
