Guestbook broken

[RonR]

WB-Version2.13.0 r13
PHP7.3
Guestbook 2.8.71

When a visitor wants to add a reaction to the guestbook, there is a http500 error when clicking the submit button.
No entry is recorded, and no e-mail is being sent.

From the error-log, it looks like the page wants to open /pages/ directory,

Cannot serve directory ~/pages/ :no matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.htm,index.shtml,index.php,index.php5,index.php4,index.php3,index.phtml,index.cgi) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive,

I noticed there is no guestbook module in the modules gallery anymore. Will there be a updated version? Or how to fix this one?

Happy new year!

Hi, can confirm.
Maybe the devs can have a look in next time.

Alternative:
Try a guestbook with module "feedback".
Works in upgraded 2.13.x (but don't know if it is installable).

Hello,

just tested, when i try to add a entry and hit the submit button i get a blank page and now entry is added. So there seems to exist a similar issue in version 2.8.9 too.

A upgrade from v2.8.8 shows above the success button:
Error: Duplicate column name 'ip_addr_old'Error: Duplicate column name 'ip_addr'

In errorlog is:
PHP Fatal error:  Cannot declare class bin\wb, because the name is already in use in .../framework/class.wb.php on line 0"

confirmed: 2.89 is also giving an http500 error.

I hope for a fix: I have over 1800 entries by customers, and wish to continue the guestbook...

If guestbook is not fixable, try the feeback module.
You can overtaken the entries by a command like this in your phpmyadmin

Code: [Select]

INSERT INTO wb_mod_feedback (section_id, page_id,name,email,feedback,timestamp,comment)
SELECT section_id, page_id,name,email,message,posted_when,comment  FROM wb_mod_guestbook;
The prefix wb_ is also your prefix? Ok, otherwise change it in the command twice.
Now the section_id should be changed before execute the command.
- install feedback module
- add a section feedback to the same page (remember the section_id e.g. SecId: [330]  )
- change command:

Code: [Select]

INSERT INTO wb_mod_feedback (section_id, page_id,name,email,feedback,timestamp,comment)
SELECT 330, page_id,name,email,message,posted_when,comment  FROM wb_mod_guestbook;- execute command

Had tested this and it works for me. Without warranty.
It is only a try.

Thank you for your help, Frank!
I will save this option for when there will be no new version of Guestbook.

Will test it first on a testsite before putting it on the livesite.

So, Dietmar has worked. It works, but without ASP (spam protection).
Maybe later with more time he can fix more.
Try the attached version 2.9.
 

Will test it first on a testsite before putting it on the livesite.

This should you do with all updates/upgrades 

[RonR]

Great, but...

Sorry to say that I still get a http500 on page:
~~/modules/guestbook/gstbk_save.php?sid=22&pid=22
(with and without disabled spam control)

I will try on a clean install later.

[RonR]

Clean install:

There was an uncatched exception
Call to undefined method frontend::getPageLink()
in line (55) of (/modules/guestbook/gstbk_save.php):

[RonR]
