Frequently Asked Questions
TROUBLESHOOTING
HOWTO
What is TGB?
TGB is the short name of "Takor Guest Book".
The reason I start to design and implement TGB is, it often needs to
provide a guest book system for my friend's web site. But I face a problem
that most of my friend's web site is just only static HTML page and those
people have no capability to program a dynamic guest book to use. Thus, I
try to make a embedded guest book to let them put on their web site and can
work smoothly.
What's the difference between TGB and traditional guest book application?
TGB can be used on static HTML website to get the dynamic guestbook. It can
goto next or last page of guestbook without change URL. Thus, it is good for
webpage art designer and maintainer.
Why TGB?
No answer now...
How the TGB works?
TGB use Microsoft's "Data Binding" to swap guestbook data dynamically.
Why can't I see any source code from TGB HTML page?
It has been hidden by <script> tag.
Why can't I see any source code from PHP page?
It has been hidden without system http referer. Thus, except called by
system, the PHP will not print out any result by direct access.
However, you can configure $DebugMode to "1" if you want to show the PHP
echo result on screen.
Can I modify TGB source code as my need?
Yes, you can. TGB is a freeware following GNU General Public License.
The detail of authentication please read "License.txt".
I will thank you very much if you leave my name in your re-fine publish
and send me a copy or a URL of your TGB site.
Can TGB support other language?
Not yet in this version. I will add multi-language feature in future.
How many template TGB provide?
For now, it has only one "default" template.
Why can't I see the TGB screen?
Check the "config.inc.php" and modify it manually.
I cannot create TGB database.
Login to MySQL system and check if there is already a database exist and
you try to use in "TGB-setup.php". If so, try to use another database
name that is not exist in your MySQL.
How to apply or accept application for a new TGB group?
Well, I did not add mail function into this version. It need to consider
many system compatibility problem before developing sendmail. I will
leave this feature to next version.
How to design myself template?
For now, open the "images" folder and change every gif file. However, I will
add more template features in future.
