minor changes - where?

[giz]

First of all, thankyou for this great guestbook which is really simple and is working great for me.

I still have some minor wishes for me and i need your advice.

1. I would like to have an empty name field. At the moment and with standard settings, the name field is filled with "guest". Where can i delete this default name?

2. Below the inputbox is a field named "Path". What is this for and, since i cannot see any use, where to delete this.

3. I want to change the styling of the email link displayed in the messages. As mentioned here, i need to edit the default.php file in .../views/phocaguestbook/tmpl/
I am pretty sure the correct location of this change would be line 113-128 as it says:

if ($this->display['email'] != 0)
{
if ($values->email != '')
{
if ($sep == 1)
{
$msgpg .= ' ';
$msgpg .= '( '. JHTML::_( 'email.cloak', PhocaguestbookHelper::wordDelete($values->email,35,'...') ).' )';
$sep = 1;
}
else
{
$msgpg .= JHTML::_( 'email.cloak', PhocaguestbookHelper::wordDelete($values->email,35,'...') );
$sep = 1;
}
}

So i added this before line 113 starts:

$msgpg .= '<div style=" a:link {color: #434343; text-decoration: underline; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10px;}">';

Besides the fact it mixes up the design (which i could fix with the margins, the div style wont work at all).
Any idea how to change the appearance of the links?

1., 2. see:

3. I think you cannot pase teh a:link into the style attribut in HTML...

Thanks for your answer. Did not see the FAQ on this page in the first run.
After spending 2 or more days customizing this great guestbook (i love the simplicity of the design) i still have some issues.

#1:
After having problems with tinyMCE editor and my template, i changed it like discribed in this thread.
This worked perfectly fine as solving my template problems (and is more simple, which i like), but it also has the problem the entered content is not accepted. I guess its a php error, the entered text is not handed over by the script.

The code looks like this:

<tr>
<td><b><?php echo JText::_('Content'); ?>: </b></td>
<!-- <td colspan="4"><?php echo $this->editor; ?></td> -->
<td colspan="4"><textarea name="content" id="content" value="<?php echo $this->formdata->content ?>" rows="5" cols="10" style=" width: 580px; height: 120px; border:1px solid #E6E6E6; background-color:#FFFFFF" ></textarea></td>
</tr>

#2: Another Problem is the "blank line" problem.
I cannot find the source of this. I deleted all "&nbsp;" in "components\com_phocaguestbook\views\phocaguestbook\tmpl\default.php" but it did only help a little.
It is also not the place of error message. Oh, another info; my form position is at the bottom of the page.
I made a screenshot of the issue:


Hope you can help me.

1# this is obsolete information, you can disable the tinymce editor in parameters now, you need not to change it in code ...

2# I see the picture but I don't know what is the problem ? maybe you should look at css, I think this is styled by css (padding or margin attribute )

Thanks again Jan for this support. I guess after spending so much hours into css and php, someone did not see the forest in front of all trees

I hope this one will be the last question.

After disabling the tinymce editor and setting the new form up via the parameter settings in joomla, i want some css editing (font-size, font-family, color etc.) done in the new simple form. Which file should i edit if its possible in phoca guestbook.
If not, which one should be edited from joomla?

I also recognized a strange behavior with this editor. It gets highlighted every time you hover over or use it. Its somehow annoying

I rly need your bank account to transfer you a little donation (quit my paypal account) for your patience

you can change the main css or guestbook css, you should find the html of the tags you want to style... e.g. in Firefox - see the source code - html code and these tags you can style in the css
