Hi,

First of all let me congratulate you for such a fabulous tool. I am wondering if I can see the total number of posts (apart from the total number of pages) on the Guestbook main page.

I currently have 1.34 version. How can I have the nubmer of entries feature on the guestbool (even better if we can just number the entries).

Thanks in advance,
Srini

Hi,

First of all you should upgrade to the latest version, I don't think a lot of people here have v1.34 and can't really help.

In gbook.php version 1.34 on line 124 (an in 1.41 on line 170) you have a variable called

Code: Select all

$total

. This variable contains the total number of posts, print it out to HTML wherever you want the total number of posts displayed.

So open the gbook.php in an editor. Find

Code: Select all

function printEntries($lines,$start,$end)

It's about line 745. In this function after the line:

Code: Select all

$delimiter="\t";

copy this:

Code: Select all

$file = "entries.txt";
$all = count(file($file));

$all will show the number of entries
After the line

Code: Select all

list($name,$from,$email,$url,$comment,$added,$isprivate,$reply)=explode($delimiter,$lines[$i]);

insert:

Code: Select all

$num = $all -  $i;

So $num is the number of the entry. Let's write it out. You can use it ex. in line

Code: Select all

<td class="upper" width="65%"><b>'.$num.'. Comments:</b></td>

And the comments will be numbered
