New Feature: Message Approval
Many of you have requested new message approval. The new feature has been added to all guestbooks (free and upgraded) and here is how it works:
To turn ON new message approval you need to go to the Control Panel and select from the menu: Guestbook -> Settings -> Guestbook Options At the very bottom check the box "Approve New Messages" and click "Update Guestbook Options". Now no new messages are added to your guestbook before they are approved by you from the Control Panel. IF you have chosen to be notified of new private and pending approval messages (Control Panel -> Guestbook -> Settings -> E-mail Notification) you will receive an e-mail each time a new message is added to your guestbook. Otherwise, you need to check your control panel from time to time (Control Panel -> Guestbook -> Messages -> -Pending) to approve new messages. E-mail notification is recommended unless your get lots of new messages. Known limitations:
Enjoy! |

Re: New Feature: Message Approval
Please look at the two attached screenshots to see where in the Control Panel you choose to approve new messages and how to actually view the approved messages.
The two last screenshots shows you how to approve new messages. |

Re: New Feature: Message Approval
Thank you so much for this feature.
We've been having a problem with a spammer on our guestbook and since there was no IP ban capability, we were at our wits end. Even though his IP is banned from our website, he evidentially had the guestbook bookmarked and accesses it directly. This helps nicely because now his messages won't see the light of day to begin with. Thank you so much for your hard work on this! |
