Guestbook and Comment Pack Integration

Several people wanted the sdr_guestbook plugin to work with the comment styling offered in the comment pack so Els and I went ahead an hacked the last version of the guestbook and upgraded the comment numbering function in the comment pack to get them both working together.

Instructions

1. Download and install the latest version of the guestbook (below).
2. Download and install v0.3 or above of the comment pack.
3. Create a new TXP form and copy the following into it

   Listing: form_guestbook_comment

   #	Code
   0001	<div class="<txp:sed_get_comment_class hide_odd_even='' />">
   0002	<txp:comment_anchor />
   0003	<h5><span class="comment-no"><txp:comment_permlink> #<txp:sed_comment_number count='guestbook'/></txp:comment_permlink></span>
   0004	&middot;&nbsp;<txp:comment_name /><txp:sed_if_author_comment_string string=' (Author Comment)' /></h5>
   0005	<txp:sed_comment_time class='comment-time'/><br/><br/>
   0006	<txp:message />
   0007	</div>

4. Now follow the instructions in the guestbook help to set up the guestbook. Be sure to have it use your new guestbook comment form for it’s comment form tag.
5. Make changes to the above form as you need to but you will need to keep the <txp:sed_comment_number count='guestbook'/> tag if you want correct numbering of your guests comments across page boundaries.
6. Style your CSS as you want!
