on-line calendar

[Homer]

I have just found a calendar script that would be ideal for us to use to post event dates and reminders etc on the web. What I would like to do is to allow only one person to add information to the calendar but allow everyone else to view this information as read only. Is this possible or am I expecting too much. Any ideas would be appreciated.

No, because that calendar won't do what you want it too. When you add 'reminders' to that calendar, they are stored in a cookie on YOUR machine, which means only you can see them. This is not a tool that has been designed for publishing information, but instead is meant to be used as a personal organizer of sorts.

To save and display data in a web enviroment such as what you are asking for, a server-side langauge combined with some sort of storage medium (textfiles or a database) is required.

I can provide you with an example if you want to do it is ASP. This is what I am using currently and it works.

Hi Homer,
Using the online calender is really simple.
What you have to do is to put the 4 asp scripts including the access database into your personal web server.

Whenever you need to add information into the database, you must key in a password. The password is set in the script add_date.asp, line 4 if Request.Form("pword") <> "salesteam2" then.

What you have to do is to change the word in bold, saleteam2, into a password you desire and will be done.

Any user can access to this calender, but only users who has the password created by you will have the access to edit the submitted information.

The index page of this program is diary.asp

Try it out and let me know if you need more help.

Hi Victoria

Thanks for replying and your information on how to use the scripts. I have uploaded all the information to the web server as you explained but when I call diary.asp in my browser at http://www.barbadosvacations.co.uk/diary.asp it asks me if I want to download the file. I am obviously doing something very wrong. My host also tells me that I am using linux, does this create a problem?

Sorry to be a pain but I am full of bright ideas but very little knowledge.

Does your host support asp? the download request question is an indication it does not.

Hi Homer,
I had found an Online - Calander which is design using cgi while I was doing internet surfing.
I have not test it out but you can try if it work on your site since you are using linux.
I had also attached the steps you have to follow while install the program.
Regarding to the asp online calander, did you do an ODBC Data Source Connection before running the codes?
Do let me know if you are not very sure what is this connection and how to connect it.

Hi Homer,
The Calendar that you suggested is made with asp. Can you suggest me something of that sort in java. I have searched the web and i have been unsuccessful in finding a calendar of the type you suggested.
Any suggestions for a calendar in java with event scheduling will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ajaz
