"GuestBookHost"
(Uses PHP4, MySQL)



GuestBookHost allows you to start your own free guestbook service for you to offer to other webmasters. Other webmasters can sign up to your service, get the HTML code for their guestbook, view the stats, set the colors for their guestbook, and users can log in later to edit these settings. GuestBookHost also blocks users from posting multiple times.

Users that sign up to your service have the ability to design the colors and appearance of their guestbook. They're also given links for their site that pop up their guestbook in a new smaller window, so their visitors never leave their website. They can also come back later, log in, and change these settings.

GuestBookHost also supports advertising, which means you can have the script display a random image banner or text ad on each user's guestbook. The ads are configurable in the admin area.

From the admin area, you can edit/remove users, delete guestbook entries and Add/Edit/Remove advertisements. Screenshots are available: [Users List] [Edit User] [Add/Edit/Remove Ads]

GuestBookHost is also designed to block multiple posts from a user. The script doesn't allow a poster to post a message on a guestbook more than once a day per guestbook. They can however post on more than one guestbook in a day. The script matches the poster's IP address against posts made that day to that guestbook, instead of using cookies, which can be circumvented. :)
