Filters Management

There are 2 types of filters you can setup for your guestbook:

  • IP ban

    • Messages from users with IP address in the ban-list are blocked

  • Words filter

    • You can make a list of forbidden words. Any message containing at least one such a word will be blocked

  1. Add IP ban

    2. to add a new IP address to the ban list select "add IP ban" , enter the address in the box and choose one of the following options:

    1. Do not filter the already existing records

      2. Adds filter to the list, but doesn't re-filter already posted messages;

    2. Filter guestbook with this filter now

      3. Adds new filter and re-filters the guestbook. Any previously posted message from a user with matched IP will be removed;

    3. Filter guestbook with all filters now

      4. New filter is added and guestbook is re-filtered using all filters

  2. Add a new word filter

    3. Actions are the same as when banning the IP address, the only difference is that you add a forbidden word, not an IP address

  3. Edit Filter

    4. Click "Edit" to edit a filter

  4. Delete filter

    5. Select a filter from the list of filters and click "Delete". Confirm the removal

Import messages from CSV

Option lets you import messages into your guestbook. Select a symbol which will serve to separate messages. It must not occur in other contexts and has to function only as a separator. Follow this model of fields structure:

    1. Sender
    2. email
    3. Hide email?

      4. The field determines whether the email of the sender is hidden from everyone. (0 - not hidden, 1 - hidden.)

    4. URL
    5. Location
    6. Date and the time of the sending of the communication

      7. Date and time are displayed in the YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format

    7. Message
    8. Reply
    9. Reply date and time
    3 actions are possible:
    1. Cancel

      2. All actions are canceled and you are redirected to the main page

    2. Preview

      3. Click "Preview" to check if everything is OK with your settings

    3. Add messages

      4. If everything is correct add messages to your guestbook

    The number of field values you have entered must be a multiple of 10 (10, 20, 30…), the messages must be separated by a certain symbol. For example if you have chosen ';' as a separator then your message in CSV format would look like this:
    John;John@hotmail.com;0;http://john.hotmail.com;New York;2006-08-10 22:30:00;Hello!!!How are you? Your site is cool
    I have a site, too!;Hello John, your site is cool too, but mine is better:-);2006-08-10 22:50:00;Melanie;;;;;2006-08-11 10:00:00;Good morning everyone; Are you ok after the party?;
    and in your guestbook this will look like:
     Sender: Melanie
    E-mail:
    URL: (none)
    Location:     		 Good morning everyone
      Are you ok after the party?  2006-08-11 10:00:00
     Sender: John
    E-mail: John@hotmail.com
    URL: http://john.hotmail.com
    Àäðåñ: New York     		  Hello!!!
     How are you? Your site is cool
    I have a site, too!     		 2006-08-10 22:30:00
     Hello John, your site is cool too, but mine is better:-)  2006-08-10 22:50:00
    As you see the messages may contain many characters including line break; the fields also may be left empty
