texte = We've got a draft WebCat GuestBook up at:
and would appreciate having it tested and comments submitted.We'll make the source freely available, and you can download it right now at: if you want to look at this unclean implementation. This is a WORKING version ! We'll update this archive as time permits and changes are made. Major things we want to change include: Having the guestbook sorted in reverse time order so that the most recent submissions show up at the top. We're not sure how the unsorted list is sorted as entries seem to be randomly pulled. Having the sorted Guestbook pop up on the guestbook.tmpl page, so the visitor sees prior entries right away. Having a successful submission bring up the new guestbook entries off the bat while an unsuccessful submission (no body text) brings up the validation page.We're using this as a test case while building up our store in parallel, so it should be treated as an exercise, not a product :-)Yes, this is based upon the classifieds' example.Have at it and let us know what's wrong as well as how to implement the changes (if you know and have the inclination/time to share/spare).Thanks, -Sven_____________________________________________________________________ Sven U.
