[ NEW PLUGIN ] Guestbook v1.0
Hi,

After a LOT of work, I'm please to announce my latest plugin, Guestbook v1.0.

This plugin gives you users the ability to have their *own* Guestbook page. With advanced features, such as markup [optional], smilies, ability to ban users from posting on their Guestbook, logging of postings (for admin's eyes only), the ability for admins to "validate" new submissions [optional], a CAPTCHA system for the add pages [optional], many admin features (such as log viewing, validate new posts)... and more. You can even display the xx most recent entries from their Guestbook, on their profile page. Users can also preview their Guestbook entry, before posting. For more details, see the "Features" section - as there's a lot of cool features in this plugin.

If you wanted to enhance your forum user profiles by adding more social network type features (similar to facebook or myspace) this is a plugin you will almost always need. If of course your profiles are just pages where people go to see which city you are from and how many posts you've made... then you will not need this. Wink

Cool plugin. Thanks Andy!

Hi,

Version 1.1 is now available in the Members Area.

This includes a few new features:

1) The ability to have a "quick add" form on the users profile page, to add a new guestbook entry.
2) Users can set an option in their profile, to have a new "PM" sent to them - to let them know a new entry has been added to their guestbook.
3) You can now show the details of the person who submitted the guestbook entry, including the avatar.

Cheers
