col -> Guest book (1/16/2004 6:40:01)

Hi everyone, first post here.

I'm using FP2000 and trying to add a guest book. I've added one using the template but it doesn't work (I never expected it to yet).

The help is not much help, it says just use template and how to adjust the field sizes etc.

Do I link it to the guestlog or something similar?

Thanks

Have you got FrontPage Server Extensions installed?



col -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 7:04:23)

Not sure, how do I check and how do i install them if they are not already there?



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 7:08:31)

What operating system are you running?



col -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 7:15:26)

98



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 7:17:26)

Install the Personal Web Server from you Win98 CD that should install FP Server extensions with it. Then go to the web address of the local machine (normally http://localhost ) But make sure the Web Server is running first

ok thanks for your help.



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 7:23:12)

Welcome

I just cheecked and it says extensions are enabled.



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 10:31:11)

Now when you go to publish the site, to test on the local machine, publish it to http://localhost Then go to that URL in your browser to use the Guestbook etc. if it works there, then the server you upload to, if the have FP server extensions installed should work with it also

Sorry, tried and failed, no pages found at all.

What am I publishing with?

I have been using FTP so far.



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 10:53:59)

Use the FP publish facility.



col -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 11:02:49)

It says the URL http://localhost/ is invalid



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 11:11:45)

It's that long since I've used Win98 lol.

It should register, try publishing the files to the wwroot file on the local hard dsik then go to http://localhost



col -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 11:26:41)

Would it help if I showed you the source code of the guest book page.

I'm sure there must be more to it than just clicking on the template and linking it to my web pages.



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 11:28:39)

Not really, if you can wait, I'll look into it over the weekend, I'm off home now



col -> RE: Guest book (1/16/2004 11:34:30)

ok

Thanks for your help.



col -> RE: Guest book (1/19/2004 10:53:06)

Oh great.

Just found out my server (BT) doesn't support ASP or FP extensions.

Is that me snookered then?



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/19/2004 10:57:26)

No, because you can get JSP guestbooks, you've just got to find one, and make sure your server supports it

Dan



col -> RE: Guest book (1/19/2004 11:01:24)

The webspace from BTow/BTY! does not support ASP, PHP or personal CGI
(unless BTow specific ones) for home users.
or FP extensions!!



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/19/2004 11:02:29)

JSP is JavaScript Server Pages, it's nothing like ASP PHP CGI etc, but it does just the same, just not as securely



col -> RE: Guest book (1/19/2004 11:07:15)

Thanks, all is not lost then - yet!!!



Giomanach -> RE: Guest book (1/19/2004 11:14:01)

Freewebs do one, but you need to be a member for to obtain it. Have a look of Google for one
