I am about to start developing a site that will allow users to create profiles. I would really like to be able to allow them to send and recieve e-mails to their profiles. Kind of like Yahoo (mail.yahoo.com) I would set up mail.mysite.com.
Of course I would want to have Virus and Spam protection on it, they would access it via the web, and it would be really awesome if they could sync mobile devices to it - like Web Enables PDAs with mobile outlook.
If it could be like outlook web access where the user can have contacts, a calendar, etc. That would be fantastic.
Anyway, does anyone know which corner of the web I should start my search? I don't know the technologies involved, would I need a SQL back end or anything? I'm really a first day guy on this subject.
What I am planning on having is ASP.Net, MySQL and use as many open source projects as possible to pull this site together to keep costs down. Usually I work with PHP/Apache, but a follow phase to this will be an application that will run locally, so that's why I'm working with ASP.
I am still pretty new to .asp but I have a user db where I capture user log ins. When a user logs on session variables are created (e.g. User_ID, member_type) which I use to check user bona fides when they access user only pages.
Question: How can I determine when they leave the site or that they are still accessing the site?
I have had a trawl through ServerVariables but that only provides the info for my sesssion and nobody else.
Is there any 'plug n play' code out there to create a webmail site? I have a domain which supports pop email and i allow people their own email address from me, and some have asked if I can create a basic webmail setup.
Can it be done without using third party components to handle the POP mailbox access side of things, or am I going to have to think about getting my own server (cos my hosts don't allow installation of custom dlls/ocxs)? I have a script example that does it in .NET but there are no plans for my hosts to upgrade to that either.....
Im in desperate need of in creating my own webmail application. My server is ASP and .net enabled, but i do not have access to install further components so registerring dll files is a big no no.
I need help in creating code that can access a specified pop3 server using given credentials, preferably in asp but i can also use basic .net.
Does anyone know of good source code or what standard components in the ASP or .net environment have the ability to access such data? Or if you just know a few basic lines that i can use.
My website is just a small group of friends and we cannot pay for anything so its up to me to get this setup for us. I can send mail but not receive from POP3.
I'm building an ASP-based CRM system; a user sees the original message, posted from the database and can hit a Reply button to generate a TEXTAREA field on the next page that houses the original messages and allows them to type a reply and hit a "Send" button.
The original message from the database includes natural line breaks, as submitted--it doesn't contain any HTML breaks.
I would like to accomplish two things:
1) Add a "> " before each line of the original message, as contained in the reply
2) In conjunction with the "> " preceding each line, break the original messge string into logical line lengths that fit inside the textarea field and don't wrap.
I want to be able to log in a database any transactions my users perform. For example logging in, requesting a page, downloading a resource, logging out etc.
What is the most practical way to code this? I was thinking of trying to use an include file which would have a function to add a log in the database for each page on the site or when a particular action is performed.
I am to build a site onto an ASP server. Anyone here used Dreamweaver and is it just a simple matter of opening up a new ASP page in Dreamweaver and build the site like you would normally do with a HTML page and it will handle the ASP coding accordingly and you can just simply upload it onto an ASP server and it will work?
The site I am to build is basically just a standard html website, but my friend wants me to build it for an ASP server so he has asked me to make sure it is an asp site so I am presuming with the extension .asp
If I build it as a html site to begin with, will converting it to asp be hard. Could I just export my pages into asp or is there more to it?
Can a Html website be loaded and working on an asp server or host?
Is it possible to have a site mixed both html and asp, eg. the home page is html and when you click on shopping cart on the home page it goes to a hopping cart page thats .asp or do they all have to have the same extension.
I have to pass form data from my site to another organizations site using POST method... how exactly do I do that? Im familiar with how to do it within a single site/domain, and cant use querystring... I dont know where to begin.
Whenever I do a site that is mostly static but with some semi-dynamic sections, I've struggled to find a good site search solution without paying for a hosted search service.
I like the FSO-based search engines, but they fail to pick up on some of the dynamic part.
I was just creating a Google sitemap and it made me wonder: has anyone created or seen a script that uses the XML Google sitemap to power a search engine for your own site?
Seems like if you were keeping it updated for Google, why not use it for your own site?
How do we have a track of users who have logged in? I want to have a table of record with usernames and the status(logged in or logged out).
Whenever the user logs in, the status shud indicate he is logged in and when he logs out the status shud change accordingly. Does anybody know how to do this???
I am using asp codes to connect to my access database. But i have a query in mind. Will my database still work if more than 1 user is logon to edit the database records?
is this a permissions issue that happened at the server side When I go to one of the .asp pages it brings up the "malicious code" prompt,asking whether I should open or save the file. How do I make it so it just executes the file?
My database tables uses two users, namely dbo. and viss. so in sql server 2005, every table has the following name structure:
dbo.members viss.customers etc
In source code, sql queries are used without adding usernames. Like,
INSERT INTO members UPDATE customers
Now I get sql erros as 'invalid tablename members' to solve this I add username to query, like dbo.members. That would solve the problem, but is there an easier way to solve this? Because I'm working with a complicated application and it has allot of files, adjusting each query is an option but any other solution? Code:
I have a database that is setup with a messages table... I have been asked to modify the following script to do the following...
Message ALL Users or Message All Admins or Message Individual Users (with the option to select multiple users - such as 2 or 3) or Message Individual Admins...
The Database is designed with a User table and each user is assigned a "Type" such as "admin" or "user" - can anyone look at the following and give me an idea how to implement this function?
It needs to be setup where the admins and users are seperated so its ok to have two Options boxes that display a users section and a admin section..
I have an intranet which all staff have access to. All staff can log in to the intranet to amend their own personal info. Currently staff have seperate passwords for logging on to their machines (ie ACL on network server) and logging on to the intranet.
Is it possible to have someone automatically logged in to the intranet based on their windows username and password for the domain?
Just wondering if anyone else has tried this. I think I saw this as an option in ASP.NET but my intranet is built using ASP.
I want to create a page in ASP language which gives me information about currently logged users. I thought to do it by this way: when somebody will log in to page, there will be a value of this user id stored in the table among the other fields in the form which are filling in. After clicking on the button "Log off" the value of the user id will be deleted from the MS SQL Server 2000 database. I would do it, but I don`t know how to solve the problem when somebody will close the Internet Explorer window by clicking "x". Then the procedure of deleting a value of user id will not call, and this value will be still stored in the database, so I will not have actual state of currently logged users.Maybe there is another possiblity to do it?
I need to display information a list of Active users on a web site.I can do the count using the global.asa but need to display individual information about each "active user" without writing it all to a database and then pulling it out again.Info I need :
IP Address - Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") The page they are on - Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") the page they were on - Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")
Can I write this stuff into sessions and call them all out?
I need to authenticate users to enter in a NTLM-protected virtual directory,but I can't pop up a NT-login dialogue box - I can only do a web-based username/password form (my client is a "usability" firm!). After searchingand searching, I finally found up with this solution to use ADSI to authenticate users transparently:
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20010126.asp
I tried the script and I am able to authenticate that the user exists with the correct password, but when I redirect the user to the virtual directory,the popup box is still popping up! I think what is happening is that I am not actually passing the username/password to the NT server.
Is anybody familiar with using ADSI for NT log in's?Am I on the righttrack?And if so, how do I actually do this so that the NT login boxdoesn't pop up?
I am trying to create a website for students where they have to log in before they can access any of the materials on the site. Therefore the login will be done on the homepage. Providing log in is successful, I then want to be able to track which student downloads which materials. I know how to deal with the login code but am not sure when I create the session variables to track the users. Is this done on the following page? Also do I need to use the global.asa file?
does the session on start event happen the minute the student arrives at the homepage or can I tell it to start once the students have logged in? any advice will be gladly received.
i would like to automitically log when a user signs in, presumably using a seperate Access database. Can anyone point to to a simple way of accomplishing this?
We have an extranet located on one server that users access via a redirect on a URL. To access the extranet, they click on a link and have to enter their windows network logon details.
They then access the extranet which is based on Microsoft Sharepoint Services. I have written customised ASP pages, located on a second server on the same network, but want to use the same windows logon details.
how I create a login page which authenticates users against the servers user manager. I want the login to be a form in my website not a pop up window. I am currently running IIS 5 on a windows 2000 member server.
I'm developing an online shopping cart. Usually the site administrator modifies products etc in the "Store". I want a mechanism for the administrator such that he should be able to view or at-least count the customers or visitors in my "Store" (only in store), users of the other sections should not be counted.
Whenever a user in my store signs out or closes the browser (not properly sign out) or even leaves the "Store" the count should decrement.
I am trying to work out how to set up two counters on my site, one to track guest users and one to track registered users, like most forums show. There are loads of examples showing how to use the global.asa file to do a single active user count, but I can't find anything for my needs.
Has anyone come across such a script, or give me a clue how to write my own? All registered users are marked by a session variable called userLogged - which is true if they have logged in.
