Phoca Forum

Have searched everywhere to find the correct parameter to reset to allow public access to post in the guestbook but cannot find it. I'm using Joomla! version 3.9.16 with PHP version 7.4.4.
There is no "Registered Users Only" option in the Options.
I have installed Phoca Guestbook version 3.0.11

Please help!

Go to your Joomla! administration - Components - Phoca Guestbook - Guestbooks. Add or edit current guestbook. In folder Category Permissions set Post Items for Public to Allowed.

If you will allow adding posts by public users (not registered users), don't forget to enable spam protection for the guestbook.

Hi Christine,

Thanks very much for your prompt response. I have reset permissions and have spam protection up to the wazoo! Now working OK, except I had to reconfigure the page view as the tabs format did not work for some reason. Have reset to show form below posts and it now looks great.

Could not see this document when I went to the documentation pages. Needs re-indexing on the documentation menu?

Thanks again,
David Schroeter.

It means, it's working now?

Sorry, don't understand, what you mean with above.

Kind regards

I mean that the solution you provided worked fine, but I could not find it in the documentation anywhere until you gave me the link. Maybe you need to update the documentation so it's easily found. But thanks for your help!

Hmm, you have just to go to the menue: "Documentation" & then to search for relevant theme/subject.

That clears it up, thank you. I think drs2biz may have a point, though. The old documentation that I found quickest was on this page under GENERAL. So it was a bit confusing.
