Suggestion Box-------www.gxblock.com
--------------------------

    Simply this block allows users to give you insight to what they'd like to see on your website without having to go through a long email form. This file contains two scripts and this readme file.

-suggest.txt
-suggest.php


1.  Upload suggest.php to your geeklog public_html directory.

2.   Add the function in suggest.txt to your lib-custom.php file located in the geeklog /system directory. Upload that file back into your geeklog system directory.

3. Login and click the link that says 'Blocks' on the Admin Block. On the Block Manager click 'New Block'. In the Block editor...

                [Block Editor]

Block Title:
-Insert whatever you want the Block to be called. I use Suggest Box.
...
Block Name:
-You can use SuggestBox
...
Block Type:
-Select 'PHP Block' from the option box.
...
PHP Block Options
Block Function:
-Insert phpblock_suggest in the Block Function field.

Then scroll back up and click save. Go back to your homepage. When you scroll down you should see your new suggestion box. If you have any questions, email me at sdaystorm@charter.net and I'd be glad to help. Enjoy! NOTE: In the updated version you can change the message that displays in the function in suggest.txt by changing the $message variable.
