BellaBook3.1: Upgrading to BellaBook3.2

Upgrading to BellaBook3.2 is easy-peasy, even if you're already customised your version of the script. Download version 3.2, extract the files from the zip and delete the entries.txt file — uploading the new entries.txt will overwrite your current entries and you don't want that. Customise config.php to match the settings from your current install, or change to suit whatever requirements you have.

If you haven't altered the look of your current BellaBook install, simply upload the PHP files included in the zip as well as tempentries.txt and continue using your guestbook as before. Rename badwords.txt to spamwords.txt and don't forget to CHMOD tempentries.txt to 666 otherwise the entry moderation won't work!

If you have altered the look of your current BellaBook install, you will need to download your old files and copy+paste any modifications to the new files. Be careful not to overwrite new code with old code, because it may prevent your guestbook from working. If your modifications have only been made to header.php, footer.php and the stylesheet you can delete the new header.php/footer.php and continue using the old ones as there are no structural/code changes to these files — don't forget to alter the version number in the footer though. Once your modifications have been made, upload the new PHP files as well as tempentries.txt and continue using your guestbook as before. Don't forget to CHMOD tempentries.txt to 666.

Please note: there are no security fixes in BB3.2 so it is not incredibly important to upgrade. The new version however, does fix the following bugs:
