Bugfix - If the entries_shown was set to a larger number than the
number of entries in the guestbook, the "signed since..." date did not show.
|
| 2000.01.06 |
4.11 |
No more need to call the script with "type=form". The form page is displayed
unless you write "type=view".
There is now an easy way to get around CGI wrapping servers.

Just one small fix. The problems concerning manual deleting of entries
should now be fixed.
|
| 1999.02.17 |
4.09 |
Several Guestbook-tags have been made optional. The required tags are now:
Form-page: STARTFORM, NAME, SUBMIT and ENDFORM.
Preview-page: ENTRY, SUBMIT and COPYRIGHT.
View-page: OLD-DATAFILES, ENTRIES and COPYRIGHT.
This means that it is possible to make a form-page with only name and
location as input-fields, if that's what you need.

Bugfix - Y2K. I discovered that the function I use in Perl for extracting the
year counted the years different from what I had believed.
The years does not become "00" in the year 2000, but "100". And it just
continues to add one more year to that number as the years pass.
Therefore I changed the way the script handles the year 2000. Instead of
checking for different values, it now just adds 1900 to the value it's got.
Bugfix - The location input is now checked for dirty words if the strip_words
option is on.
Bugfix - Two HTML TABLE-tags too much removed from the view- and preview-page.
Some users have reported that the script displays an error-message saying it
cannot find the config-file. If you get such an error (most likely on Windows
NT servers), insert the cgi-filename and the full path to the cgi-bin
directory where your files are located in two variables as explained in the
cgi-file header. This really should fix the problem.

Bugfix - E-mail address was not passed correctly from the preview-page to
the datafile if the anti-spam function was active. (Since v4.05).
Bugfix - Unwanted words that was stripped in the preview-page was sent to the
data-file as stripped text, not as the original text. (Since v3.80).
Another speed-up in the config-parsing.
WRAP-parameter now user definable in the message-textarea tag.
The default question-mark in the location input-field is removed.
|
| 1998.12.06 |
4.06 |
E-mail-addresses are now stripped for the following characters:
, ; and :.
|
| 1998.12.04 |
4.05 |
All the input-fields in the form-page are now sizable! This is done by allowing
SIZE, ROWS and COLS-parameters inside the GB-tags.
Anti spam function now optional. Exchanges the "@" with " at ", and
you may choose not to generate the mailto-tags.
The script now strips away all HTML comments to prevent SSI hacks.
Config-files that are written or changed in a Windows-based program are now
read properly! The unix-vs-windows NewLine+CarriageReturn problem is thereby fixed.
Faster parsing of the config-file.
The script-stripping function is enhanced. It removes the entire script,
and also the NOSCRIPT-tags.
Cosmetic fix: Removed a blank space in the mailto-link after the
name. This is only visible when email_on_name is chosen.
|

4.01 |
Added data-file override: The URL
".../guestbook.cgi?...&data=test" will use a data-file
named "test.data", no matter what the
configuration says. This means that you can use one script and one config-file
for several different guestbooks.

Bugfix - Fixed problems with filelocation on some Windows NT-servers.
Bugfix - Fixed problems with correct filenames and path.
Errormessage-pages are now in the same style as the rest of the pages.

character-set selection now works.
Added option to automaticly send a "Thank-you e-mail" to the guests.
Added option to limit the number of entries that are shown.

<HEAD>...</HEAD>-tags. This makes the system
support Cascading Stylesheets (CSS) and META-tags.

Safety updates/additions:
If any <XMP>-tags are not closed in the messages, the program
will do it automaticly.
All <PLAINTEXT>-tags are now removed from the messages to
prevent the Guestbook to be shown badly.
If the character " (quotation mark) is entered in email or URL it will be
exchanged with the character _ (underscore).
The program now safely closes any form of unclosed tags such as links
or imagetags written like this: <A HREF="http://www.something.com>.
|

Changed the way the script is addressed from the URL. You now write
"http://.../guestbook.cgi?type=form" to get the form-page.
Added multiuser support: The URL
".../guestbook.cgi?type=form&user=tom" will load a
config-file named "tom.config". This means that you can use the same
scriptfile for a number of config- and datafiles.
Added URL language-override: The URL
".../guestbook.cgi?...&lang=it" will use a language-file
named "guestbook-it.lang" (Italian), no matter what the
configuration says. This means that you can use one script, one config-file
and one data-file and still use different languages by changing the links
from different pages. Usefull for international and multilangual sites.
Added URL language-override: The URL
".../guestbook.cgi?...&images=no" will show the guestbook
without images. "&images=yes" will show the images no
matter what the config-file says.
Added config-option "view_footer", which enables the user to write the
HTML-code which is shown at the bottom of the view-page.
Added config-option "view_between", which enables the user to write the
HTML-code that is shown between every entry in the guestbook.
Added config-option "font_face", which enables the user to choose which
font-type the guestbook shall use.
Added config-option "font_size", which enables the user to choose which
font-size the guestbook shall use.
Added config-option "no_selector", which enables the user to choose between
the standard location selector and an ordinary textfield input in the
form-page.
