NAME

Konstrukt::Plugin::guestbook - Konstrukt guestbook

SYNOPSIS

        <& guestbook / &>
        

DESCRIPTION

This Konstrukt Plug-In provides "easy to implement" guestbook-facilities for your website.

You may simply integrate it by putting

        <& guestbook / &>

somewhere in your website.

CONFIGURATION

You may do some configuration in your konstrukt.settings to let the plugin know where to get its data and which layout to use. Defaults:

        #use a captcha to prevent spam
        guestbook/use_captcha          1 #you have to put <& captcha / &> inside your add-template

        #backend
        guestbook/backend              DBI

See the documentation of the backend modules (e.g. "CONFIGURATION" in Konstrukt::Plugin::guestbook::DBI) for their configuration.
