So far I am really liking this guestbook. I am working on implementing 2 on my site for selling photography, one for visitors and one for buyers. I would like the buyer guestbook to be read only and only allow people sign it through a seperate link (still have not figured out how to give them a link to sign either) Is it possible to make it read only and is it also possible to send a link for people to sign?

Thanks for this great guestbook and the support.

OK, so I was able to figure out how to send a link to have someone sign the guestbook (cgi-bin/fpg.pl?lang=english&action=sign)

I know how to logon to administir the guestbook (cgibin/fpg.pl?action=login).

I know how to remove the sign guestbook links, however once those are removed the control panel links are also removed when you are logged in.

Is there a link for accessing the control panel once you are logged in?
If there is then I can setup my buyer guestbook as read only and can send an e-mail link to have the buyer sign which is exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks again.

OK, after some more messing around I was able to access the control panel without the control panel link being available.
Using the login link cgi-bin/fpg.pl?action=login to access the login page. Then looking at the folder location cgi-bin/fpg_files/session using my webhost front end and then use one of the ID's with this link:
cgi-bin/fpg.pl?action=%ID%
where %ID% is the id in the session folder.
Not the easiest or quickest way, but it works and I am happy!
