WP-ViperGB is a Wordpress plugin designed to replicate the appearance and behavior of the discontinued
Viper Guestbook project. It makes it easy to add a stylish and user-friendly guestbook to your blog.
Features:
- Create user-friendly guestbooks without writing a single line of code.
- Lives in a standard Wordpress page and uses comments for entries, so moderation and antispam functionality works as normal.
- Two-View layout provides one view for submitting entries and another for reading them.
- Automatic paging of entries to customizable length.
- Show icons for country, browser, and OS in visitor signatures.
- Admin-panel stylesheet selector allows easy skinning to suit your theme.
- No bloat: Uses existing Wordpress faculties so no custom database tables are required.
- Simple PHP template function allows programmers to manually embed standalone guestbooks in any template they wish.
