Add a Guest Book to your Homepage
Follow these steps to set up a Guest Book on your Onramp Access
personal Home Page.
1) Create Guest Book Page
The first step to setting up your Guest Book is to create a page
for people to sign your book. Once you have arranged the page how
you would like it, simply drop in the HTML code in Step #2.
2) Add Guest Book HTML
<form action="/cgi-bin/guestbook.cgi">
Name: <input type="text" name="visitor"
size="10"><br>
E-Mail: <input type="text" name="email"
size="10"><br>
Message: <input type="text" name="message"
size="20"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="user"
value="username"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="sendto"
value="address"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Sign"
value="Sign">
</form>
This 'form' is read by our computer
to update your Guest Book. The lines for 'Name',
'E-Mail', and 'Message'
are fields for inputting data when someone signs your book.
These lines are each optional, but at least one needs to be
included.
size = number of characters
to allow for each input box (eg. size="10")
username = your dialup username
address = your e-mail address
(eg. username@onr.com)
This configuration will automatically send you an e-mail
message whenever someone signs your Guest Book. To
turn 'off' this feature, simply remove the following line
from the above HTML code:
<input type="hidden"
name="sendto" value="address"><br>
|
3) Add Links
Once your Guest Book has been signed, a file called guestbook.html
will be created in your directory.
Add a link to this page so people can view the Guest Book.
4) How to edit Guest Book
Once the Guest Book has been created, you can edit the guestbook.html
file itself.
If you download the file to your computer, you can edit it and then
upload it back to your directory.
By editing the Guest Book you can change entries, or remove
unwanted ones.
Please Note:
If you do edit the guestbook.html
file, do not delete the line:
<!-- next -->
This line is needed for new entries in the Guest Book to
be added.
