Hi everybody,
I have installed the guestbook and it works fine, but I want the guestbook empty entry fields to be displayed rightaway.
Now I get a page with the submitted guestbook entires and on top of that the "new guestbook message" button. I don't want that button; just the empty entry fields and the submitted entries below that, so that people can enter their message rightaway.
What do I have to change and where?
Here is my testsite:

Not sure it'll work but you can try copying and replacing all of the code from the 'Form Template' to the 'Show Form Template'.

No that doesnot work. I think it must be some {...........} tag, but which one?

I found this thread: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,8366.0.html
That should do it, but this is a thread from 2006 and since then the guestbook code has been changed, so I can't see where to change what. ???

I found it. it was so simple. In the page that you make and give as content guestbook, you can put a dot in the option: "show messages form rightaway" or something like that, because I have a dutch guestbook.
So solved! ;D
