Description
it would be very useful to reintroduce the returning of errors to ve_guestbook. of course then changing the extension would be neccessary, so both ways, redirecting and returning errors should be supported.

Hi Jonny, I'm the new maintainer of wt_spamshield. ve_guestbook is integrated in wt_spamshield. Is there anything to do? Is there anythin differnt from the existing solution?

Hi Bjoern, I have to say that in the last 3 years almost nothing has changed. Still I think it would be nice to tell the people in the ve_guestbook form why their entry was not accepted. It is not practical to redirect them to a seperate error page since they might be real humans who entered for example too many links.
This is the difference and I provided the diffs to implement this feature.
One problem you would have to solve is the missing hook in ve_guestbook. We have to contact the developer of this extension (I hope he is still active) and tell him to reimplement it. This shouldn't be a big thing to do :) Maybe we (means you ;) ) can write an xclass which implements this feature but I don't know if this can work at this place.

Hi Jonny and thanks for your fast reply. Could you pls contact the developer of ve_guestbook and ask him to implement a hook? I'm having the same problem with t3_blog.
So I will check your solution and wait for your reply regarding the hook. Meanwhile we will release a new version of wt_spamshield since some very important fixes are highly needed. Your ideas can be part of the next versions.

I have to check ve_guestbook to see if there's a possiblity to display some error messages.
