Changing the way of displaying Guestbook

Post by Keeszeus2014 »

Hi

New on this forum so first of all 'hi'
my name is Kees and live in The Netherlands and new with Joomla and everything involved :-).

I installed the Phoca Guestbook but like to change the view of displaying the guestbook. As the site is in Dutch I don't know if you know what I mean, but images are images :-)

First you will see the message field, put in your name etc and below that new messages will be displayed. I like to get this changed, so first seeing the guestbook messages and if possible create a link to enter a message. If this is to complicate I like to get just the default entry on the bottom instead of on top.

Furthermore I need to get the colors changed from the guestbook messages when they are displayed on the website. Currently it is blue but I like to change in black. Is it possible, if yes how...?

Thanks you for your assistance.

Kees Zeus

Hi,

backend --> Components --> Phoca Guestbook --> Control Panel --> Options --> Form -->
Display Form=Hide
Form Position=Bottom
Display Posts=Yes
Save & Close
Now you will find the link to the form at the bottom of your guestbook posts.
Furthermore I need to get the colors changed from the guestbook messages when they are displayed on the website. Currently it is blue but I like to change in black. Is it possible, if yes how...?
backend --> Components --> Phoca Guestbook --> Control Panel --> Options --> Post -->
Font Color=(Choose the color you like)
Save & Close

Kind regards,
Benno
BTW: Good luck for the FIFA-WorldCup :wink:

Ok,
joomla 2.5.17
but you should update your joomla! because of security reasons. The current version is 2.5.22

Thanks Benno... I didn't thought it was that easy but Phoca did all the work as it was just a matter of looking further.

Thanks for your help!
