JibberBook - an AJAX guestbook

June 30th, 2007 in scripts  |  8 Comments

I noticed that a lot of people were coming to my site looking for an ajax guestbook, so I thought I’d clean up the one I did for school and release it as JibberBook. Extra features include spam filtration because that other one was getting pretty spammed up. Also I decided to let the browser handle the scrolling instead of javascript. Of course it’s free, so do whatever you want with it. Maybe someone else can code a management interface. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Enjoy!

    I’m working on that at this very moment! It should be done in a couple weeks at the most, but I’m not setting a definite release date. Thanks for checking it out.

    Sure, all you have to do is change the loop structure in index.php so it starts with the last one and finishes with the first like so (untested):

    for ($i = count($xml->message) - 1; $i >= 0; $i--) {
  $data = array('name'=>$xml->message[$i]->name,'website'=>$xml->message[$i]->website,'comment'=>$xml->message[$i]->comment,'date'=>$xml->message[$i]->date,'id'=>$xml->message[$i]['mID']);
  transformXML($data);
}

    The new version will show the latest entries first so you could just wait for that otherwise. It’ll be out soon, and it’s got a bunch more features.

    IE shows Line:24 Char:3 Error: Syntax Error Code:0. It seems like after submiting the form to action/add.php, the error throws out. Did you ppl get the same result?

    Hi!

    This guestbook is really cool, but after 28-30 messages the users cannot add comments. Why? No file rename, server side is ok. In localhost is the same.,

    Can anyone help?

    It would be helpful to describe what happens, like what kind of errors you are getting, if any.

    You may want to try JibberBook v2.0 and see if that fixes the problem.
