First private WB site

[NETZLAST.com]

Hi @ all,

please check out my first steps with WB on my private Site.
It's design is based on the Template " Round" from Ryan Djurovich with a few small modifications and a graphic on top of the menu.

A little feature that i've added (and of which I am proud because i'm absolutly new to php) is that the Guestbook sends me a Mail if anyone signs it.

Please feel free to leave criticism and comments!

Great Start ... when are you converting your BLOG to WebsiteBaker

For this feature, did you modify the news-module? If yes, would you like to share the changed code incl. a little documentation? Maybe we can put it in as a change request ...

cheers

Hi Klaus,

thx for your feedback! The integration of my Blog in my site is a little problem because of the fixed with of the Template i use, the entrys in the Blog contains big pictures and 480 px width videos and if i integrate them in my site the right side of the page explodes......so far i've found no way to fix that problem but i'm still on

Surely i provide the code i've added.....it is a simple phpmail() function in the codepart that submits the new entry, the mail adress and the mail text is hardcoded in that line of code....maybe theres a much better way to realize this functionality but, like I've said, i'm a php-noob and it will take a time until i'm expirienced enough for things like that

I'll provide the code later from home...my ftp doesn't work on work.

greetings

Rolf

Okay, here's the code i've added to the file

WB_ROOT/modules/guestbook/gstbk_save.php

ATTENTION - Always make a backup before modifying a file!

1)
Open the file gstbk_save.php in your favorite texteditor

2)
Search for the line

Code: [Select]

$name = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['u_name']));
and add the following after it

Code: [Select]

mail('name@domain.com', 'Text for the subject of the mail', 'Text of the mail');
3)
Save the changes and upload the file

...that's all....try it out with a new entry 

If i'll have a little bit more experience in coding with php i'll try to make this a seperate module with the abillity to enter the needed textes for subject, mail and email adress in the admin-panel and...maybe support for variables (ie. sitename, admin)

I hope you'll find this minimalistic modification usefull...

Rolf
