Guestbook operation

T

T Hilleary

I have been trying for some time to get the guestbook working in FP 2003.
Maddening.

The code (below) allows comments to be entered, but no previous accumulation of comments is viewable. When I go to the published site, I can open the file 'guestlog.htm' and see an accumulation of entries so the file is being appended. It is just not viewable on the entry page itself. Any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance.

The code being used is:

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"><title>Guest Log and Comments</title><meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="network 0011, default">
</head><body><p> </p><p> </p><hr><p> </p><p>Still working on this
part... </p>
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;" webbot-onSubmit><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="guestlog.htm" s-format="HTML/DL" s-label-fields="TRUE" s-builtin-fields="Date Time REMOTE_USER" s-form-fields startspan --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" i-checksum="43374" endspan --><h2><strong>Add Your Comments</strong></h2><p><textarea name="Comments" rows="8" cols="52"></textarea></p><p><input type="submit" value="Submit Comments"> <input type="reset" value="Clear Comments"><br><br><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></form>

T,

1. Are you sure the FPSE are installed?

2. Did you publish with FrontPage to http location?

3. A URL for your Guestbook would be better than the HTML.

First of all your save results file must be in a folder w/ write permissions
- by default the _private folder

Move guestlog.htm to the _private folder
- if your guestbook.htm is in your root web the correct path in the save results would be
_private/guestlog.htm

In design view Right click the form for Form Properties and browse to the new location

Next
You are missing the required webbot for the include page pointing to guestlog.htm

After the </form> tag (and before the <hr> tag) in your Html/Code view insert

<!--webbot bot="Include" tag="BODY" u-include="_private/guestlog.htm" -->

In design view Right click the include page for Include Page Properties and browse to the new location
