DigiOz Guestbook Change Log

The DigiOz Open Source Team is proud to present the DigiOz Guestbook Version 2.0.0.

• - Added a Theme Engine to the Guestbook System to allow webmasters to create their own custom theme without having to understand the PHP Code
• - Brought all Guestbook System Message Text into the language file in order to completely translate all aspects of the guestbook into the language chosen by the webmaster
• - Changed the Guestbook Theme to a new Theme submitted by Paul Williamson (thanks Paul). The old theme is still in the guestbook and can be switched to by setting the theme variable to "simple" in the config.php file.
• - Move the following files to the new "includes" folder: config.php, gbclass.php (now gb.class.php), random.php, sanitize.php.
• - Removed the header.php and footer.php files. The header and footer are now controlled by the "themes/default/header.html" and "themes/default/footer.html" files.
• - The number of entries shown on the Guestbook List can now be controlled from config.php.
• - Completely new Pagination System, which only shows a maximum of 7 pages at a time, and slides forward and back based on the current page. We also added a first and last page button, along with the forward and backwards buttons.
• - Completely new look for the Administrative Area.
• - Added Graphic Design License Info to ReadMe.txt
• - Updated the Dutch, German, Greek, Philippino and Swedish Language files to include system messages in the proper language.
• - Added a Persian Language File to the list.
• - Added Title for Admin Area Generate Language File Page
• - Added blank index.html files to various directories to prevent listing of content of the directories.
• - Fixed Cross Site Scripting issue with login.php form posting
• - Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) Token Added to add form, along with CSRF Class added to the includes directory
• Renamed the guestbook Class file "gb.class.php" from "gbclass.php" in order to be consistant with the syntax used for other class files.
• - Search Page bug fix for navigation style
• - Fixed the last page navigation button glitch
• - Much much more ...

You can now download this version from HERE , or see the Demo HERE .

DigiOz Guestbook Version 2.0.1 has been released, which includes the following changes:

- Default Theme Gradient Stylesheet Bug fix for Internet Explorer, which prevented the background of message boxes to show a gradient for the default theme.
- Changed the shorthand "<?" PHP open tag notation to "<?php" which is the standard notation in order to avoid issues with the sanitize.php file not parsing on some web servers that do not support the shorthand notation.

In order to upgrade from previous version 2.0.0 to 2.0.1, please copy the following files from the new version and overwrite the old ones:

* includes/sanitize.php
* add.php

Thanks,
Pete

DigiOz Guestbook Version 2.0.2 has been released. It includes the following changes:

- Bug fix for the search header duplication reported in this post:

www.digioz.com/forum/2-php/13676-digioz-guestbook-searchpage

- Added Google reCaptcha Version 2.0 Support in addition to the previous reCaptcha Version 1.0 support and our in house image verification support. Please note that in order for you to use the new reCaptcha Version 2.0, you will have to obtain a brand new public and private key from Google as the old reCaptcha keys will no longer work with the new version of reCaptcha.

This feature was requested in the following thread:

www.digioz.com/forum/2-php/13682-updated...aptcha-for-guestbook

Upgrade:

In order to upgrade from version 2.0.1 to the new version 2.0.2, do the following:

Replace the following files with the new ones:

- add.php
- guestbook.php
- search.php
- themes/default/guestbook.html
- themes/simple/guestbook.html

Add the following files in that did not previously exist:

- includes/recaptcha2.php

- Update your guestbook "$gb_version" parameter in the "includes/config.php" file from "2.0.1" to "2.0.2".

Recaptcha Version 2.0 Support:

In order to take advantage of Recaptcha Version 2.0:

- Open the "includes/config.php" file up, and change the "$image_verify" value to "3".
- Get a new public and private key pair from google.com/recaptcha. If you had a previous Version 1.0 key, remove them and replace your new ones under "$recaptcha_public_key" and "$recaptcha_private_key". If you didn't have an older key, get a new key and add them to the two above variables.

That should be it. Enjoy!

Thanks,
Pete
