Question

17 Years Ago

I have just put together a personal site and am trying to integrate a php guestbook. I obtained a free guestbook, called easyboard and have followed the instructions asto the installation but the html page that I've incorprated the board isn't actually working it displays all the deperate parts that would normally come upon completion of an action.

I have posted all the files as txt files so that you can atleast read the coding that I have downloaded and also edited. The links for these are

The main html page
http://www.daveclissold.com/board/board-html.txt

The script pages
http://www.daveclissold.com/board/easyboard-php.txt
http://www.daveclissold.com/board/easyboard_admin-php.txt
http://www.daveclissold.com/board/easyboard_entries-php.txt

If you know what is going wrong please help as I really would like to get this up and running asap

Regards

Dave

Edit the following line:

$HTML=load("easyboard_template.html");

so that it says:

$HTML=load("board.html");

Then point your browser at easyboard.php.

Looks like its working ok to me. Change the link in your site menu to point at:

http://www.daveclissold.com/board/board.php?action=view
