Guestbook: force moderation + hide authors email

[dietmar]

I've got two questions concerning the guestbook plugin (version: 3.03)

1) is there a way to force moderation on guestbook entries (like on comments)?

2) I had setup the guestbook to hide email-adresses ("internal use only") - but they remain visible to everyone. Bug?

Hi!

No, the guestbook plugin does hot have a pre-moderation feature like blog entries at the moment.

2) I had setup the guestbook to hide email-adresses ("internal use only") - but they remain visible to everyone. Bug?

When you view your blog logged in as your s9y user, the mail adresses will be shown to you. They shouldn't, if you are logged out...?

They are displayed to me even when not logged in.
The guestbook form says that they will not be displayed, but they are...

Thank you, indeed this was a bug.

The output that mail adresses are hidden comes from the spamblock plugin, not from the guestbook plugin itself. The plugin did not honour this setting of the spamblock plugin. I committed a fix now so that it does:

Fine

But without moderation feature, the guestbook is quite useless for the site I currently working on. Too risky...

But thanks anyway!

Hi!

Sure, I agree. You should be easily able to embed any external guestbook application into s9y, though, if you know of a guestbook script. Or you could use external widgets...?

Currently I've made an blogentry called "Guestbook" and encouraged the visitors to use the comment feature
Not nice, but it works for the moment...
