It has been discovered that some Google Links to KISGB :), will sometimes bypass the built in logic to keep empty messages from getting posted, through the method in which the links are formatted. This is in no way a security issue but is a major annoyance. I have issued a patch to fix this. The patch is not a replacement file, but replacement code that you must type in. The reason I did it this way is because there are still 100's of users using an older release of KISGB and I didn't want to have to issue several patch files. I have updated all of the downloads also.

For those wishing to have KISGB accessible from the Nuke Administrator Panel, get the code in the download section!

Update 5/22/2003: The Nuke version 5.1.0 is now on line and available for testing!

I will be releasing RC0 soon for the NON-NUKE version. The NUKE version will be released soon after. I normally do a closed beta but I am going to make this one public. Here is a list, so far, of the changes/enhancements. All of these changes are presently loaded to the standard public version of KISGB here.

• Added logic to allow quoting of another message when posting a new message. The Admin will be able to turn it off (of course!)
• Added code to always set error_reporting to E_ALL&~E_WARNING. Modified several scripts to make sure that the config.php include is the first statement. That way the error_reporting setting will always be in effect.
• Added a new analyzer utility called syschk.php. This script will analyze your KISGB installation and determine if there are any problems with the configuration of KISGB and PHP. This utility should not be left installed! To do so will open your system to hacking attempts!!
• The setting $use_footer was not functioning correctly. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to remove the footer unless prior permission has been received from ME!!! It is a requirement of the license.
• Version 4.3.2RC of PHP was causing the updategb.php module to mess up the guestbook. Very ugly! I have incorporated the fix. the problem is that the developers changed the window's code.
• Added BBCODE capability.
• Added functionality to allow moderating of the entries prior to posting them.

Work is progressing nicely on the v5.1.0 release of KISGB! Here is a list, so far, of the changes/enhancements. All of these changes are presently loaded to the standard public version of KISGB here.

• Added logic to allow quoting of another message when posting a new message. Seems to work ok but it will probably be released as Experimental and the Admin will be able to turn it off (of course!)
• Added code to always set error_reporting to E_ALL&~E_WARNING. Modified several scripts to make sure that the config.php include is the first statement. That way the error_reporting setting will always be in effect.
• Added a new analyzer utility called syschk.php. This script will analyze your KISGB installation and determine if there are any problems with the configuration of KISGB and PHP. This utility should not be left installed! To do so will open your system to hacking attempts!!
• The setting $use_footer was not functioning correctly. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to remove the footer unless prior permission has been received from ME!!! It is a requirement of the license.
• Version 4.3.2RC of PHP was causing the updategb.php module to mess up the guestbook. Very ugly! Actually argued with the PHP developer crew to no avail. I modified my code to fix their problem, imo.

I have started the incorporation of BBCODE to KISGB and am almost completed with adding the functionality to allow moderating of posts before accepting them :)

KISGB has 3 new (and excellent) reviews over at HotScripts. Thanks to those who submitted the reviews and to ALL who use and support KISGB!

I am working on KISGB v5.1.0. I have not yet modified the nuke version, but you can see the Standard version here. So far, here are the new features:

• When you delete a message, you are now prompted with "Are you sure?".
• Select what field to prompt for input on the Sign Guestbook screen.
• Setting added to allow a default country instead of always "Select".
• More to come ......

Still to come [maybe] bbcode capability. There will be a few minor fixes also.
