Guestbook

[Connie]

I just downloaded the actual zip from the EXTEND, I hope it is version 4.1 because there is no comment in the plugin files

I miss a short readme as there are quite some unclear situations:

1)
I uploaded the plugin and in administration panel/plugins/guestbook Igot the message:

missing file: guestbook.log

I expected that the log is created automatically, isn't it?

I had to add it manually to the data/other/log-folder

2)
comprueba.php~

the zip contained that file in the subfolder /guestbook, I guess I can delete it?
in /lang there are also files with tilde ... please clean that

3)
I read that the guestbook can be included in either a page or a template, but:

Code:

<?php sv_book('nameofuser', numberofcommentsbypage, 'D'); ?>

this php-code is not correct in a page, so it works only in a template?

4)
I get annoyed .. the language file en_US.php is not coded in UTF-8, but in ANSII!
I thought we have UTF-8 as standard and your plugin is prepared for internationalisation?
Now I translated this to de_DE.php and get a horrible mess with umlauts..

5) font-colors are coded into the plugin, not by CSS, please change that

Code:

<font>

is deprecated HTML

6) Redirect text is written inside the plugin, not in the language file

7) line 114 in comprueba.php: default email-adress is hardcoded and is not user-adress from the settings

this plugin is not "get simple" it is "you need to finetune it to get it ready for working"



Cheers, Connie
