Hello all,

First question: Where can I find the default guest-book confirmation page?
I'd like to modify it.

Second question: If the default page cannot be modified, how can I create a
custom page that includes the time, date and comments, just like the defaulr
page? Much the Microsoft code is kept hidden, so I don't really know what
goes on behind the scenes of the Guest Book.

Thanks.
 
The Guestbook for submits to guestlog.htm This is then displayed on the
Guestbook psage via an includes file. You could add fields via form
properties for time and date.

Although you can modify the text, I am not sure what else can actually be
modified.

Answer Question 1
It's built in to the form handler - that's why there's an option to make a
custom page, and specify it in the form properties. The confirmation page
is just a normal HTML page.

If you want the field values on this page, then you have to insert the
confirmation fields through Insert > Web COmponent > Confirmation field.

Thanks Andrew. I'll give it a try.

I like the way the default confirmation page shows the user the
information from the fields they filled out. I just want to add some
custom text to it and add the site's style.

I'll get back to you.

Andrew,

I was able to add the Comment field, but not the time and date fields.
I'd also like to add the field names, just like in the default form.
Any advice?

Yes the custom confirmation page allows you to do all that - design it to
match your site's design etc, as well as (optionally) have the "You entered
this data...." with the fields and values listed.

Remember to match the confirmation field names with the field names of the
form that you've "attached" the custom confirmation page to.

Insert the field names from Insert > Web Component > Advanced Controls >
Confirmation Field.

Type in the name of each field you want to show, matching these to the field
names from your form.

If you insert one in the page, then you can copy and paste as many as you
have fields in the form, then double click each and rename it to match a
field name from your form. Saves having to go through Insert > Web
Component > Advanced Controls > Confirmation Field each time - it's the
quickest shortcut I can think of...

A pity FP doesn't all you to record macros, as that would be a time saver
for something like this - to record the actions and assign a "hot key" and
just have it happen rather than wading through the menus and dialogues to
find the thing.
