GUESTBOOK ON ALL PAGES?!
Permalink
Hey guys, hopefully you can end this nightmare. I want to add an individual guestbook to all public profiles but each page has the same guestbook on it.
If possible, how do I have a different guestbook on each profile page? I have no experience in ccs because I usually work with WYSIWYG web programs. (THEY ARE THE BEST) But I have a customer who wants a CMS where they can have profiles... totally new to me.
If there is not a specific block to do this task please send me to well documented how to(s) and I'll take a dreadful stab at coding. Any help? Please? :)

Unfortunately, there are no "page type defaults" for the profile pages. It's a matter of editing your profile and the layout inherits to all other users' profile pages. So, unless the block you're adding to the profile page is coded to know which user the page belongs to, you will see the exact same content on every profile page.
I know I responded to another thread about Concrete Wall and Sharing Box. Both of these blocks will display based upon the user!! Another block in the marketplace that is responsive to each individual page is the Disqus add-on.
If using a facebook comment box would be acceptable, you could always get the code from facebook and then use Magic Data, and my how-to, to have a different comments thread on each users wall!!

Whoops - yep - apologies, I didn't take on board that this was talking about the standard user profile pages!

Note the bit about 'Set up on Child Pages'. This functionality allows you to add a block once to every page that uses a specific template/design. Each page of that type will then have a new instance of the block, but that operates on it's own. As soon as it is edited, or used it is unique to that page.
There is a block called 'guestbook/comments' that comes as standard with Concrete5, and also a great extension add-on for this available in the marketplace:

Hope that answers your question. If not, just provide more details here.
