Guestbook login

[Gloria]

Hi,
I have changed my site so that now customers don't have to log in like before. I have also changed the Phoca Guestbook parameters under "general settings" to read:
Disable user check = Yes
Registered users only = No
Review message = Yes

But still the text on the guestbook page reads: "Only registered users may add messages, please log in now".
Where else should I change the settings to get the message form to display straight away?

Hi,
did you set:
backend --> Components --> Phoca Guestbook --> Guestbooks --> "your guestbook" --> Guestbook: [ Edit ] -->
Access=Public

Kind regards,
Bennoo

Hi,
Yes, access level is set to public.

Hello again,

To continue on above,

I noticed that the exact same parameters set in the local machine (using XAMPP there) gave the desired result and displayed the message form straight away. The question is then: why doesn't it work on the live site?

Any suggestions and advise?

If I have to re-install, do I have to remove the old Phoca Guestbook first, or can I re-install on top?

Hi, I think you need to ask your webhosting provider if there are no limits, etc. on your server?

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. The issue is now resolved, (I don't know how to mark it "solved" though, perhaps you can do that?).

I don't know what exactly happened, but as I mentioned before I had the installation working correct on the local machine, so I un-installed the guestbook on the live site, copied the guestbook from the local machine and in to the live site, and then everything worked as desired.

I would like to say that I really like this guestbook, and say thank you for making it available to us out here. Also, I don't get that many spam entries so the security is OK. The spams I get are entered by physical persons not robots, and that is something one can't guard against.

Thanks again, Jan. / Gloria
