[Plugin: DMSGuestbook] Separate the "entries list" and "new entry" page

Hi Rashmirathi

This isn’t possible without rewriting a lot of code, sorry ??

Greetings,
Dani

Hi Dani

Not a problem mate, I think I can modify it.
Since, I am new to plug-in modification I was looking for a cleaner way. ??

Thanks for help.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the Questbook.

I do have the same question as Rashmirathi. The entry-form, in my opinion, is to dominant. In my case 90% of the visitors of the site just want to read other people experiences. Now they first have to scroll down (on small screen like a laptop), they don’t even see written experiences only the entry form, before they can start reading.

I’m not able to fix this like Rashmirathi can. In my case just a link (“add entry”) in top of the list to the entry-form page would be perfect. Maybe you can take this option as a setting in a next version, or do you have another sollution? Thanks again!

Hi Daan

There is an option to move the form on the bottom of page: “DMSGuestbook -> Guestbook settings -> Basic -> Guestbook form position:”

Define your own link text: “DMSGuestbook -> Guestbook settings -> Basic -> Link text:”

Dani, thanks for your help!

Daniel, how can I add a title above the entry form? I cannot find where to do that. I would like to add a phrase something like: “Please leave your reaction:” followed by the name, email, website, message field, etc.

Dear Daan

Though Dani should be the best person to answer you here, I am unable to find such configuration property.
Hence, my lame solution would be to modify the php file itself with the changes you are looking for.

If you know a bit about WP, this shouldn’t be big for you, Please locate dmsguestbook.php file under admin section.
Plugins -> Editor -> Select “DMSGuestbook” from the dropdown to open up the files for the plugin.

Though, I am again saying, Dani would be the best person to tell you of any other better solution.

Thanks
