   I'm loving the DMS Guestbook. I will be using it for a guest book for our Camp Bethel website and am currently using it in a customized way for a Prayer Request form on two church websites.

   I am not having any luck using html tags in the message body though.

   I'm using the example given on the Manage DMSGuestbook page, but it's breaking the page.

   Message box: HTML tags must be embedded in [html] [/html] (e.g. [html]<b>text</b>[/html])

   Here's the exact code I'm using.:
   If you would like to view the Guest Book Archives, please [html]click here[/html].

   Any suggestions anybody?

   If you would like to view the Guest Book Archives, please [html]<a href="?page_id=???">click here</a>[/html].

   Hi gnfoster

   A homepage user can't use html tags in the message field on the guestbook page.
   Except the admin could post-edit a message with html tags in the DMSGuestbook -> Manage panel.

   Daniel, thanks for this great plugin.

   I also wrestled with the HTML tag problem. You are correct that the admin can post-edit with html tags from the Manage panel. However, I found it only seems to work if you include ALL of the text between [html] and [/html] on a SINGLE line. Any linebreaks between the [html]/[/html] pair will cause the HTML tags to be displayed as plain text in the message.

   Also, gnfoster, re-reading your post, you might want to enter your instructions for going to the Guest book Archives on the actual Guest Book page (id = ????) . That would display your message above the actual guestbook, which I think might be what you are trying to do.
