I suppose OWM is the one to answer this question..:

I would like to have one guestbook in every users profile, so that users looking at another users profile could leave a simple message for him/her. May be visible only to the profile owner or public for all, don't matter. Is it possible to use this mod for that or am I going to end up with 600 tables in my db or something? (I have little over 600 users atm).
Thanks in advance =)

Unsure of the structure of OWM's table, I may be a bit off with this but what I would suggest is adding a new field to the table to hold the MEMBER_ID of the guestbook owner or a value of 0 if posted to the public, site guestbook. Then all you wuold need woud be a few minor tweaks to the guestbook files. Of course, the other option is the Private Messages mod! wink

If you don't want the messages to be visible for all I'd go with the Private Messages MOD, that's what it for after all. wink
If you want to use the Guestbook MOD, you'll need, as Shaggy said, simply add the member ID to the GUESTBOOK table, modify the Sign Guestbook form to handle it and add the code which displays the entries to the profile page.
If you need any assistance, let me know.<

Thanks alot! I think I'll try that... I already have the PM Mod installed, what I'm after is some way to leave a little comment for the user like some communities do in their profiles. I want to expand the profile alittle.. The users uploaded photos and such will be visible in his/hers profile. <

Ok, I'm about to start working on this, but I need alittle help deciding which way to go =)

What would be easiest:

modding the PM mod or the Guestbook mod?
What I'm looking for is this:

- When a user visit another users profile, he's presented with an input box. He can choose to make the message public or hidden.
- He can also see all public messages including all text in the message.
- When the profile owner visit his profile he can see all messages (marked public or private), and can also delete messages.

I suppose I could use topic.asp for this also, but I think it would be easier to use PM/Guestbook-mod. Also I don't want 700+ topics for this in my forums. =)

Image: tried your code, it could be used for this with some modifications. I haven't tried the Guestbook mod yet, is it similar to Image's GB? <

Well, had a look at OWM:s demo, it's alittle more advanced. The competition is between this and the PM mod..
OneWayMule: is there some functionality built in that I could mod to let the visitor mark his message as public/private? <
