I can open your admin links without a problem (but can't test completely because I don't know the password)?

The "invalid attempt" error only happens if includes are called incorrectly, with the original GBook files you won't see this error in action.

Please, show me the Admin links you can access that work.

The admin links that I try do not work...

Possibly I am not using the correct link?

I know the password, just need the proper link to access the admin side to approve or disapprove posts...
Thank you.. standing by.

Gives me INVALID ATTEMPT...
The files in the template are not meant to be used directly. They are called by the main guestbook file. There is no general admin page.

There are 3 possible admin actions for a message. They must be accessed by clicking the admin images that are visible when you view the message in the guestbook.
  • To reply to a message, click the link with the green arrow in the message displayed by GBook. This is needed to select the message.
  • The same for deleting a message, click the link with the red cross in the message.
  • And for viewing and possibly banning the IP-address of the poster of a message, click the link with the text 'IP'.
Greetings,
Henrie

As Henrie mentioned, use the icons in the lower right corner of each message to access admin options:

Thank you for all your help.

The problem is that I personally signed the guest book.. nothing showed up for me to approve..

When I tried to sign it again to see if there was a mistake.. the guestbook said I had already signed the guestbook and that my post was in que... but I have no way of seeing the post I made to approve or deny..

That is why I am trying to get help..

How can I approve guestbook entries if they do not show up?

Please go sign the guestbook, see if I get an email to tell me to approve or not.. and see if your post shows up...

You will see what I mean..

You don't have manual approvals enabled, I was able to post a test message without having to wait for approval.

To enable manual approvals you need to change

Code: Select all

$settings['man_approval']=0;
to

Code: Select all

$settings['man_approval']=1;
in file settings.php

Also make sure you have a valid email address in the line starting with $settings['admin_email']
