Anonymus/Unregistered users, cannot remove entries

Post by Tofko »

Hello Jan,

First of all, thanks for this awesome component! It has made my day easier :)

Now to the problem, I have a webpage for a _ _ team, and I dont need ppl to register there to be able to leave a message in the guestbook, but I want ppl to be able to remove their own entries that they have just posted, is it possible to do?

Thanks in advance

//Toni

I would strongly advice you that users can unpublish their posts and not remove.

That way you allway's keep the proof in case of flame wars, foul language, swearing etc.

Hi, sorry I don't understand, how can anonymous remove or unpublish a post if there is no identification that tha post belongs to someone?

Yea I kinda thought of that aswell , but thought that maybe there was some way, maybe that the guestbook could identify the ip or something that it was sent from or so : )

In these days it is really hard to identify anonymous (you can create some system for this, but such system takes much resources :-( )
