Just look for the CSS menus they have. For guestbooks, a remotely hosted script might be best. Bravenet.com and a few other sites have them. There's also a few scripts for this in your cPanel. Try checking it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
felipevianna 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 Hi friend?First of all.... You are newbie in make a site?Do you know some internet language? like PHP, ASP, etc.Well... if you don't know I suggest you learn some tutorial and improve your know how because you will open a fantastic universe for you... You will be able to create all you want.If you don't know some internet language I also suggest you to search a free service like BRAVENETI don't use this Free Service and I make my all programs because I don't want that my pages shows banners and I want that my pages became with my layout.For make your website layout I suggest you to see others websites and learn like a painter learn to paint... with examples.I use the Dreamwaver and is a excelent Editor you will love it.For make a menu... hummm... I usually copy a paste from the websites and change the collors and the basic layout....You can see examples with javascript... you can create good menus with javascripts.Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snlildude87 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 Guestbooks are quite complicated if you want to create one from scratch. You will need to know a server-side scripting language such as PHP. Xisto supports PHP so no problems there. You will also need a way to store message. MySQL databases can do this. Xisto also supports MySQL. PHP and MySQL are made for each other.I mentioned a database, but you can store messages in a text file. An advantage to this is that if your MySQL database ever go down, then the guestbook will work.If you want to learn PHP, then go to http://php.net/. The site is a little bit intimidating at first because every aspect about PHP is listed there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mizako 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2005 I posted a simple guestbook made with PHP/MySQL long time ago. It should be here in Xisto somewhere. Try the searchengine. It was a response to a collegue who was looking for a guestbook from schratch. I got a reputation point for my reply :-)One of the drawbacks of Xisto is that retrieving information of the forums is tedious and not efficient. I guess there is a big amount of useful information in Xisto database which even the members ignore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
