Guest Book

I set a Guestbook up exactly as I would like it to appear, and I published
it. But when you submit the contents an error message comes up. There's some
kind of a problem with the guestlog.htm file that the submissions are
supposed to go to but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks.

What is the exact error message?

How did you set it up "exactly as you would like it to appear"?

Please provide details, and a public URL to the guest book.

The error message that I'm getting says:

Page "guestlog.htm" contains an include that is recursive, or that is
nested. Aborted processing link information and FrontPage Components after
including 256 pages at the inclusion of "guestlog.htm".

When I say that I set it up exactly as I like I mean that it was designed
and ready to go, but when I published it I got a page not found error, so I
just took it off until I figured out how to fix it.

The error is telling you that you are including the wrong file
- you are including a file as an include page within itself (recursive)
- as in the file guestlog.htm appears to have an include file of itself (guestlog.htm)

By default the FP guest book page is named guestbook.htm and the results are in the file guestlog.htm (saved in the _private folder)
The results file guestlog.htm should Not have any include page in it
(it is included in the file guestbook.htm)
The guestbook.htm file would include the results file guestlog.htm by having a single Include page point to the location of
guestlog.htm

So by removing the include page point to guestlog.htm by GuestBook.htm I
should be able to make it work? I'll try it out, thanks
