no new items by known users

Post by snelsnel »

Hi,

I've installed the latest guestbook with the dutch languagesfiles but when somebody tries to write several messages they don't succeed. The guestbook tells them their username or e-mailadres allready excists and the captcha is wrong. They can only submit with different usernames and different or made-up e-mailadresses.
What can I do?
The website can be found at http://www.hvspijkenisse.nl/joomla/inde ... &Itemid=77

Kind regards,
snelsnel.

Are they logged in if they add post with their name ?

In Phoca Guestbook you cannot use name of some other user and if you are not logged on, system doesn't know who you are... so if somebody is registered as e.g. "Peter" in your Joomla!, other users cannot use this name more... And if e.g. registered Peter is not logged on, and he types some post, system doesn't know who types post into the guestbook (because he is not logged in), so not logged user (Guest) cannot use name of Peter (the same as with your bank account)

I have left two post there, both with name "Jan" without any problem ...

Crystal clear Jan, thanks.

It means that not registered visitors should choose a new, not excisting username.

Kind regards,
