[SOLVED] Guestbook not displaying properly

[djkirstyjay]

Hi there,

Appologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, however I did seash before posting and nothing came up.

The guestbook on one of the sites I have CMSMS on is not working.
Basically, it is causing the page to show as if it has no CSS.

HERE is a link to the page so you can see for yourself. Warning... it seems to also take a hell of a long time to load, which also indicates to me that there's something amiss.

I have just upgraded a site to the latest CMSMS 1.9.4.2 "Faanui" and the latest Guestbook 1.3.2 in order to see if that was the issue, but it's still the same.

I have also tried the guestbook as both a content type and as the smarty tag in the usual content area. No joy.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might shed some light on it?

I have comments in the guestbook, so I was a bit reluctant to uninstall and reinstall if it's not necessary.

Thanks in advance

Thank you! I didn't want to post that again, since I've already had a lot of troubles with previous versions of the guestbook module. Now again!

Got the same module and core version as you, mine looks like this:

Would be great if someone could help.

Turn debug mode in config.php to see if there are any errors?

Debug mode on... I get the following :

Nope, no errors here...

Special thing is, that the source-code starts with the </__body>-tag...

Ok i just tried it on my local install it looks like when using Guestbook as content type leads to a problem when entries are paginated.
Using {cms_module module="Guestbook" number=5 number='1' shownow=1 smiley=0 dateformat="%d-%m-%Y %H:%M"} worked however for me.

As I said in my original post, I have tried using the smarty tag (as you just posted) in the normal content type too. I get the error either way. In fact, as the moment that is how the guestbook is set up and it's not working now.

EDIT > This is the smarty code I have on the page :

{cms_module module="Guestbook" number=5 shownow=0 smiley=0 mailnoti=email@site.com dateformat="%d-%m-%Y %H:%M"}

Just pasted in your code to see if there was any difference... none

What is actually in tmp/templates_c/Guestbook^%%E5^E56^E5636B77%%module_db_tpl%3AGuestbook%3Bguestbook-entrylist.php on line 30?

Or can you paste your Guestbook template?

Reset all guestbook templates to the default value.
That will do the trick.

grtz. Rolf

[djkirstyjay]

Thanks Rolf! That did it. The original templates had not been modified, but they must have changed in the upgrade, ao I did not think of that

[opawaldburger]

It's a kind of magic...

Thanks, Rolf and Goran!

Bedankt/thanks Rolf!

After resetting all guestbook templates my fatal error issue was solved. I was running older version of CMSMS and upgraded to 1.9.4.2.

I don't know what happened with the latest upgrade but most of the Guestbook templates were changed after I reset them to default. My modifications were little.
