Installation Procedure 
Quick Tips 



The script can be downloaded from here.


The file that you will download is saved in .zip format; this is a compressed bundle containing the files in the distribution. Unzip this archive in a temporary directory on your computer using decompression software.


Start your FTP software and upload all content to your web server preserving the file structure.

Note: Let's assume you install the contents of the script to /var/www/html/guestbook/


Run install.php from the guestbook root directory (e.g. open http://www.mywebsite.com/guestbook/install.php in your browser). Follow the instructions.


Enter a new password for your EasyBook admin panel.


Create a new folder "posts" with your FTP client. Chmod the folder to "777".

To change file permissions using your FTP client, select the file by clicking on it once on the remote system side and then right-click on the file to bring up the option menu and select CHMOD.


Congratulations, the installation for EasyBook is now complete.

You can go to http://www.mywebsite.com/guesbook and try your first post.


How to modify posts?

This is one of the new features where you can access an admin panel using the password you selected when installing. To modify or delete entries, you can click the 'list entries' or 'get entry by ID' links. The list entries link will obviously list all of the entries and the entries have delete/edit links next to them. When you click the edit link, you will be taken to a page where you can edit the post and again, enable smilies.

If you click the delete link, you will not be asked to confirm, the entry will just be deleted.

When you click the 'Get entry by ID' link, you will be taken to a page with a search forum on. Just paste the post's unique ID into the box and press the submit button (the post ID's are in the entry. They're below the posts in the default template but if you have changed the templates, the post ID is wherever you put the [postid] tag).
