Guest book setup for a novice

[Mark]

I have seen many similar posts about this topic in the forum but I cannot find the specific answer to my query, so please excuse my ignorance.

I have used the Guest book creating feature in FP, but do not understand how to display the results - where does the guestlog.htm file send the comments posted? They are not displayed anywhere on the webpage. I would like them to be displayed under the guest book entry form if possible. Please help!

1) The Guest book requires publishing the web using FP in http mode and the FP Server Extensions on the hosted site
- if that's what you have done, provide a URL to the published site / page
2) Make sure in your local copy you move the file guestlog.htm to the _private folder (which has write permissions)
- then in guestbook.htm right click the Form for Form Properties and make sure the path for Send To is pointing to the new location
at _private/guestlog.htm
- also check the include page properties (below the form) to see if the path there is the same
- re publish the site

Thank you for your help.

However, I still don not understand how other users can view what they and others have written in the guest book - ie how do I display the comments that are sent to the guestlog.htm?

thank you

I found the guestbook and left a short note. Is that note supposed to remain
there to be viewed by subsequent visitors?

Thank you. Yes, it's supposed to remain there to be viewed by all visitors.

The guestbook link is after the "English" link from the front page, third line down under the photos. Thank you for trying.

OK - I hope someone comes up with a fix for you (and for me!).

1) remove all spaces from file names - illegal html and breaks your links
- rename guest book Eng.htm to say guest_book_Eng.htm
2) you have deleted the webbot include code (pointing to guestlog.htm) from the bottom of the original page template
Open the guestbook page, switch to Html/Code view and after the closing form tag (</form>) paste the below code:

<p><em>After you submit your comments, you will need to reload this page with your browser in order to see your additions to the
log.</em></p>
<!--webbot bot="Include" tag="BODY" u-include="_private/guestlog.htm" --><hr>

Then publish your changes
