Creating Guestbooks
On a guestbook page, your visitors will be able to leave their notes, messages, and comments. The main difference between guestbooks and online forums is that in forums, all messages are grouped in threads, or topics. In guestbooks, all messages are displayed in the order they were submitted. The SiteBuilder Guestbook Editor allows you to easily insert a guestbook on your HTML page.
To insert a guestbook on the page:
- On the editor toolbar, click the
Guestbook Editor icon. A white rectangle representing the module appears on the web page. - To configure the forum, double-click the module rectangle on the web page. The Guestbook Editor dialog box opens.
- On the Design page, select the design template for your guestbook. To preview the selected template, open the Preview tab.
- On the Properties tab, do the following:
- From the Message lifetime drop-down list, select the number of months during which messages will be stored in the guestbook.
- In the Messages per page list, specify the number of messages displayed on each page of the guestbook.
- From the Module width drop-down list, select the optimal width (in pixels) for your guestbook to fit better on the page.
- Click the Preview tab to preview your guestbook as it will appear on your web site. Here you can try to send messages.

- Click Apply to save the guestbook and return to the main editor window.
To change the design or edit guestbook settings, double click the forum module rectangle in the main editor window and make the necessary changes using the Guestbook Editor.
