This is a simple guestbook script that allows you to create a guestbook that
your visitors can sign. You can modify the appearance of the guestbook, and view
and manage guestbook entries.
Note: A more advanced guestbook, (see
above) with many more features, is also available. However, this does
take more time to set up, and requires some MySQL knowledge.
To create a guestbook:
- Click on the Simple Guestbook link in the CGI Center area
of the CPanel control panel
- Copy and paste the HTML code at the bottom of the page to your web page.
Feel free to alter the appearance of the form - as long as all the fields are
available, the script will still work correctly.
This is the minimum you
need to do to get the script working - upload the file, and you're finished.
You can modify the
guestbook template if you need to customize the appearance of the guestbook.
- Upload the finished HTML page to test the script.
To modify the simple guestbook template:
- Click on the Simple Guestbook link in the CGI Center area
of the CPanel control panel
- Click on the Edit Guestbook Template link.
- Copy and paste any HTML code that you want into the template to alter it's
appearance.
- Click on the Save button.
- Upload the finished HTML page
You will want to be able to view your guestbook once visitors start leaving
comments. You can keep the guestbook private, or you can set it up so that
anyone can view the guestbook.
To view the guestbook:
- Click on the Simple Guestbook link in the CGI Center area
of the CPanel control panel
- Click on the View Guest Book link.
- You can now view the guestbook. If you want to make the guestbook
available to anyone, open the viewing page in its own frame (right-click in
Internet Explorer).
- Copy the URL show in your browser when viewing the guestbook and make it a
link on the same page as the sign-in form.
You may want to delete entries in your guestbook, either when the page gets
too large or if you do not want to keep certain entries. This is easily handled
through CPanel.
To view the simple guestbook:
- Click on the Simple Guestbook link in the CGI Center area
of the CPanel control panel.
- Click on the Manage Guest Book link.
- Click on the Delete This Entry link above any entry that
you no longer want.
