Extension talk:Guestbook

Feature Request
Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to change the name of the guestbook on my personal wiki page. I'm trying to make an endorsement page for an organization that I run, and want to use the guestbook extension as an endorsement page, however I would like to change then mane from "guestbook" to "endorsements"

the book on each talk page
This is great, do you think it could be set up to make a questbook for each talk page?
 * Sorry, I don't know how to do that --Mcmilk (talk) 08:20, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Blocking users with the built-in $wgUser->isBlocked function
Is included since version 0.15 ;) --Mcmilk (talk) 16:44, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Blocking spam specified by $wgSpamRegex global variable
Is included since version 0.15 - thanks MooreJ ;) --Mcmilk (talk) 16:44, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * However, this addition will cause issues with the rest of a Wiki in that the words specified by the extension override a blank $wgSpamRegex varible and as such it will cause editing issues if you want the word naughty appearing in your text. There has to be a means to use the $wgSpamRegex variable from the localsettings point of variable entry? TeraS (talk) 21:59, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Cannot delete or reply to guest book entries
MediaWiki 1.19.0, Guestbook (Version 0.14). This is a semantic mediawiki installation. http://gausschildren.org/genwiki/index.php?title=Special:Guestbook

When I click on the reply arrow or the delete button, I am redirected to a non-existent Special page.

 * Have you checked the $GetRequestSeperator settings?

Seems broken on MW 1.21
It worked fine on Mediawiki 1.20, but it seems to be broken on MW 1.21. Arcane21 (talk) 06:43, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Arcane21


 * And this is the arising error. It comes with a totally blank screen. And it seems that it isn't so wonderous because in 1.21 the method "addpage" has been removed. Somwhere I read that this method was depracted since 1.7.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method SpecialPage::addPage in /var/www/domains/domain-mobadaten-info/MoBaDatenInfo/extensions/gbook/gbook.php on line 847

 * This is fixed since Version 0.17 of this extension...

Are You A Human captcha feature added
I've added the functionality to use the areyouahuman.com "play a little game" captcha for the guestbook signing process to guestbook extension version 0.17a. You can see it in action here on my 1.21.1 Mediawiki: http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Special:Guestbook&action=add

You can download the code here: http://www.futureofmankind.co.uk/w/extensions/gbook-areyouahuman.tar

To get it working you need to modify the ayah_config.php and fill in the empty quotes of the following 2 lines with your own keys, obtainable from areyouahuman.com (for free):

In gbook.php the following variable can be set to false if you prefer to use the google recaptcha instead, for example, if you find out that you don't like the areyouarehuman captcha.

Apart from that you also need to ensure that the guestbook extension itself is enabled in your LocalSettings.php of course. See the main page for this extension for instructions on how to do that.
