The reason why I registered here is first of all to thank the developers for such a great work! But my main reason is to help out those guys who are having issues with regards to their own copy of this grate guestbook. These are the errors I have personally encountered and solved by myself:
Easybook INSTALLED!
Errors:
1. After setting on "Everybody", I tried to add a test entry in the guestbook and it gave me a 403 error telling me that I am not authorised to view the resource. (Solved!)
2. After adding Easycaptcha, using the menu type "standard layout" on the front end, i tried to click the link "Signin Guestbook". It redirected me but no captcha eventhough captcha was set to ON. (Solved!)
3. Page reloads after submitting entry and entry submitted doesn't show! (Solved!)
Now, it doesn't matter if i use one or both menu types, it works great now. How did i do it?
It depends on what problem. On the first problem, here is the solution:
As many of you might not know, there are two ways to set parameters in this component. One is on the Menu configuration and the other is on the component Admin panel. Both should be set on "Everybody". That's it.
Second problem solution:
The "Singin Guestbook" link and the menu type "Entry Form" take u in two different URLs. That's the main problem. This is the reason why when you try to add an entry through clicking the "Signin Guestbook" link, it redirects you to the form but after clicking the submit button, page reloads, nothing happened. Ur entry wasn't added. To solve this you have to visit the cpanel and change the redirection in one of the files. This is the solution:
1. make a menu for easy book using the entry form menu type. save it. goto front end, click the menu and copy the url on the address bar starting the the "index.php".
2. joomla/component/com_easybook/views/easybook/tmpl/default_header.php:
look for this line:
echo "<a class=\"sign\" href='".JRoute::_('
original url')."'>";
3. now whatever u copied on the #1, replace the "original url" with it. save and u are good to go. You can now use standard layout or entry form or both!
On the third problem, all you have to do is this:
turn captcha on on menu configuration and admin panel
there ya go! you got the easybook working now.
You want to replace what's written on the buttons: "Submit Entry" & "Reset From" with your own customized words??? Hehe
! Sure ya can!
