Best Guestbook in the World?

cmpennington

What is the best free guestbook program (In your opinion) that is out there? I am trying to find one to implement on our funeral home website for condolences. Thanks for your thoughts -I thought I would ask the experts first!

The one I wrote! 😃

you need one with message validation.
The one I developed sends an email with message, IP/host and 2 urls. First url is show (switches msgShow field to 1 in table). Second is delete.
I am very happy I had this validation feature on my site for some people just can't act like human beings when they find a form in a website.

Are these programs out on the web somewhere? Where can I find these things that both of you have written? Thanks again for the help.

I didn't put it anywhere... But it's fairly easy to do. If you want some code to start with, yell.

I just got an email that there is a new guestbook program written in PHP on the PHP Resource website-
http://php.resourceindex.com/new/
(but I have no idea how good or bad it is, as I've not checked it out)

Also, I have used the guestbook at html gear- pretty customizable and free, if memory serves-
http://htmlgear.lycos.com/
(They also have other tools you can use, if you're a newbie)

Hope that helps! 🙂

Mine will be on my new website I'm making but that won't be for awhile! Plus it still needs to be tested more before I let others use it! Sorry!

The reason I made mine was cause I wasn't satisfied with other ones out there, but the best other one I have used other than mine would be: Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1

So I ask again, what website or which program or where could one find the absolutely best guestbook program that is free or shareware or open sourced. Something along the lines of the quality of phpbb? I mean the BEST on the web today.
Thanks for your opinions!!

what's the best browser? netscape or IE?

Ask that at Microsoft, then go ask the same question at Sun Microsystems. It's all opinion-based.

But anyways, I haven't tried any guestbook scripts before, but the first place I would check is www.hotscripts.com

Somewhere there is a person that edits a code magazine or website that surely has taken the time to sift through all of the garbage rip-off - re-processed codes to say hey, this is the best one that we have found, or should I say the most professional looking one we have seen yet. Something along the lines of phpbb and osCommerce's shopping cart scripts. I am not giving up until we find a better alternative than what is readily available on the web today.

hotscripts.com has ratings for all of their scripts.

So I move it again, to a forum more appropriate for the question. Also, please don't post duplicate threads.

I've merged your two threads.
