Guestbook not posting entries

[mechatech]

I'm not sure when it stopped working but the guestbook no longer sends the entry to cmsms.
Also doesn't work with post straight to guestbook.

Using CMSMS 1.8.2 and guestbook 1.3.0

I created a new guestbook, It wont post to that one either.
I imagine I could uninstall and reinstall guestbook but that would remove all my messages.

Also my form post = in the html is correctly posting to the current page.

What does happen with i post is it just refreshes with no message or error.

The existing Guestbook module, is it an upgrade to 1.3? Or a new install.

Do you use a / as page extention? Like website.com/some/page/

Rolf,

that was my thought as well, hence the question for the URL

Strangly it happened to one of my sites too. Guestbook just stopped working. Nothing to do with the url though
This is the link:
http://www.yvonnevandewouw.nl/index.php?page=gastenboek
By the way: this is 1.9.4.2 "Faanui" with Guestbook 1.3.3.2, anyone any ideas?

I posted one, could you check if it shows in the backend?

Thank you for your quick reply. No, I don't see anything in the backend. Not even my own posts (that I entered in the backend AND in the frontend). In the database I see none of the new posts either. It seems to be stuck on the last post of Ally in november 2010. I put debug mode on and I don't get errors either so I'm stupified, stunned
I have Newsletter Made Simple installed and I'm wandering if that is the problem...

You could try to increase the memory_limit in the config.php. There is a setting for it, just increase that one. And check again...

That is a good advice, thank you, Ronny. It seems to be something else though. I have found this:
In cms_module_guestbook_seq id 22
In cms_module_guestbook_post_seq 34
In cms_module_guestbook_guestbook_seq 1

There are 34 entries and the highest Id was 39. I decided after some searching in de code to try and increase the cms_module_guestbook_post_seq to 40. Suddenly I could add posts but strangely they where inserted with entry_id 23 (somewhere in the middle of the entry table cms_module_guestbook). So I decided to do the following:

In cms_module_guestbook_seq set the id to 40 (one higher then my highest entry_id).
In cms_module_guestbook_post_seq set the id to 50 (let's give it some space shall we).

For some strange reason the Guestbook now works again and both seq ids are nicely incremented.

I haven't got the time to truely dive into Guestbook module so for now I'll monitor the Guestbook on this site. But I think it very strange behavior. I know the website owner removed some spam entries in the backend but I don't understand how this can influence the seq ids.

If anybody can explain a little more about the workings of Guestbook, it would be greatly appreciated!

Ronny thank you for your help!
