Hi,

not sure if in the right topic but I try.

I created a Guestbook to add to Gallery. I wanted this to be part of my own website (not production yet) and after searching found others also would like to have this. Its not there so I tried to build one myself.

I need people willing to test this and if posible Gallery developers to look in the code and tell me what need to be coded better!
If people are interested in this let me know so i can send the beta version.

It is working fine but work is needed more on features I want in it.
If somebody just wants a guestbook and everybody could write into it and navigation is no problem it will work right now.

Let me know if there is interest in this!

Regards,
RvE

Attached is guestbook.zip. Unzip to 'guestbook' in the modules directory.

After install next to where 'Login' is 'Guestbook' should be visible.
If guest only sign guestbook will be there.

If admin some more links will be there.

some still working on

- use of captcha ;
- moderating entries ;
- using emoticons ;
- preview of entry before submiting ;
- send notification to guestbook owner ;
- navigation pages ;
- unlink from the system menu.

Let me know how it looks, what I need to change or what one wants as feature.

UPDATE:

some moderating events are done now.
Working on trash now.

I Need to look into code because I did lot of copy and I think I could reduce amount of tpl files,
but this is done in short time and it seems to be working fine from my side.

Any sugestions or issues please let me know, it is still a beta version and still 0.0.1!

Great!
I tried it out and see that you have hard coded 'localhost' for some of the urls.

Care to create a codex page for this module?

I wil get those 'locahost' removed, they should not be there.

some other things are in there now (not posted version yet):
- moderating entries ==> done, should be working fine including trash ;
- send notification ==> done, from my side working but some need to check on other sites ;
- unlink from system menu ==> done ;
- navigation pages ==> done (would like different sollution but it is working)

work still to be done:
- use of captcha ;
- using emoticons ;
- preview of entry before submiting ;
- some checks on fields ;
- upgrade capabilities for new releases ??

maybe work to be done:
- depends on people using this asking for features or having issues :-)

No problem to create a codex page for this, let me know how to do so.
As soon as my navigation is looking little better on the pages and I have rerun tests it seems a version good to be used.

I created a skeleton page:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:guestbook
All you need to do is create a user on the codex page and you will have edit privileges.

Dave,

if ok the localhost stuff must be gone now.
I did some work on re-using tpl so less code out there, its better but could be much better!!.

About codex page, thanks, added some things to this already.
Right now it's V1 out I will see what other users want or miss.
