It is kind of like a guest book. Same basic idea. I guess the main difference here is that if you don't know what to say, you can just click off one of four "pre-set" "hi"s (like "=waves=" or "=wink"). The main goal here being to keep them short/sweet. Also – I'm not sure what the display options are on a guest book – whether you can list the last few on your page.

FYI – the "hi" form is easily editable – you could always change the text "=wink=" to just be smilies…

I'm not sure what the problem is or if it's on my end, but every time I try to download the script I get the following error message…

"www.scriptygoddess.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again."

I have gotten this at home and at work. I don't understand why since I can get to the site itself, I just can't download the script. Is this a problem on my end? I'd really like to download this script.

Jenn, this is so cute, I can't get over it – plus I've solved the mystery for myself of wheter or not it mucks up an existing database to add a table (of course not, but I didn't know that).

I installed with no problem, but a wrinkle came up – I've pasted the includes in the right places (top and sidebar) and I get some nonsense characters appearing with the file names in the spots where the includes are, even though things are working – why would this be? Since the names were copied out of a Notepad file, I'd assume it's not that (weird Word formatting, I mean). I used web FTP to upload the files and didn't specify a format – if they were accidentally uploaded as binary, wouldn't they not work at all?

Thanks for any help –

Ok – just updated the script with one problem that we found. In the config file – the very last line – was missing a ";".

If you've already downloaded the script – just add it in.

Oh! I can't wait to add this this weekend! (Just so you can say "Hi!" whenever you want…) =smile= Thanks!

I got the script working, and I love it. Thank you! Now… my only problem is that the time stamp is about 6 hours off. Any ideas why that happens? My MT blog time stamp works fine. Is there something I need to do?

13 | Jennifer

August 17th, 2003 at 10:06 pm

=sigh= Yeah – it's based on the timestamp of the server… It's fixable – let me see what I can do…

14 | Jennifer

August 17th, 2003 at 10:27 pm

Ok – just tested and updated the zip.

If you've already downloaded the script and it's working fine for you – no need to do anything.

If you need to upgrade, the changed files are the config file and display list. Transfer your edits to the new config file, there's one new variable to define, then upload that and the new display list file.

Have I mentioned lately that you're a supergenius?

Thank you for making the fix so quickly! The funny thing is that my timestamp was off by 5 hours and 25 minutes… I used -5.584 for the setting, and it worked fine. But it made me wonder where the heck my server is located. I thought time zones were by the hour. (Maybe the server is in the bottom of the ocean or something.)

When I first installed this script, I added in a extra "Hi!" options and a smilies. So, it might have been me, but I just noticed that when someone checked off two of the Hi's or smilies as the shortcomment, the display was completely munged. So, I just changed those checkboxes to be radio buttons, and that fixed it up, such that only one could be chosen.

What this really needs is the ability to remember your name/email/url if you choose. Perhaps it could even use the cookies that MT bakes by default? That would be sex-a-rific. In fact, I might write that little feature myself, if I can find some time over the next few day with halloween parties and stuff… I'll submit any patches I create. 😀 Great idea for a script, I've always felt that a little 'general' comments script that is nice and compact, and fits nicely with MT and other blogging engines was warranted.

October 25th, 2003 at 12:28 am

Wait, maybe I'm an idiot, does it already remember from the cookies MT leaves? I'm confused..

Sorry, my bad, I see now that a quick user modification (described in the instructions file, of all places) does what I want. Sorry for not RTFM. 😛

Hi there, I've been racking my brains out trying to sort this out and for some reason it's not working for me. I know it's me since I have no experience with php and mysql. My sevice provided is pretty good so they've got all these phpadmin boads set up so I haven't screwed up there.

For some reason the localhost isn't being accessed. And the password comes out as 'YES' even though that's not what I typed in.

Am I missing something fundamental? I mean in the script the password structure seems to be different, i.e rather than DATABASE_PASSWORD it's DATABASEPASSWORD.

I've been trying to add a "remember me" cookie feature into a flatfile shoutbox I'm coding for a long time now, but just cannot seem to get it to work (I don't use MT).

Please consider adding code for this to your site, or a tutorial.

I've implimented this script on my site, & so far everything is going wonderfully.

However, I'm getting the following error where I have the include to the displaylist.php file, & I've no idea why :

mysql_num_rows (): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

Any idea what could be causing this?
