Everyday of my life the last year has started by searching through a lot websites in order to find the latest news, and then making a link to that news from my webpage. What I have always dreamt about is some kind of automation.
Is it possible to make a script in ASP that searches through a website and gathers info on title, URL and such, and then automatically inserting it into my website (via for instance a SQL database)?
I used ASP and wrote a login / logout program. This is to capture people who comes into my lab from 0800 to 1700.
The data collected are stored in a table
Userid Date_in Time_in Date_out Time_out
123 4/3/2005 0900 4/3/2005 1000
121 4/3/2005 0925 4/3/2005 1100
122 4/3/2005 1200 4/3/2005 1400
127 4/3/2005 1500 4/3/2005 1600
125 4/3/2005 1503 4/3/2005 1630
122 5/3/2005 0800 5/3/2005 0845
The manual way of calculating utilization on 4/3/2005 will be [(Time between 0900 to 1100) + (Time between 1200 to 1400) + (Time between 1500 to 1630)] / (Time between 0800 to 1700) X 100%
The problem is that depending on what time the next person arrives, there might be an overlap in time. For example, A comes at 9am and leaves at 11am. B comes at 9.30am and leaves at 12pm. The total duration will be from 9.00am to 12 pm that is 3 hours instead of (rs("time_out")-rs("time_in")) = (11-9) + (12-9.5) = 4.5 hours
Is there a formula or way to automate this process?

View Replies View RelatedI want to have an automated recordID with the following format:
<last 2 digits of the current year>+<last 2 digits of the current month>+<number series 001-999>
example: 0409001
(where 04 stands for 2004, 09 for the month of september, then 001 refers to the 1st record)
then when month changed to october the number will be reset to 001 so the recordID now must be 0410001
having that format i can't use the database itself by setting the recordID as autonumber only..
I'm building an asp website with calendar for a High School Basketball team. A database holds dates for all events on the calendar. I want to build a schedule for a SEASON automatically based on the current date() they are visiting the site, and a SEASON is June of one year through May of the next. Example:
If they are accessing the schedule in January 2007, a query will filter all events for the 2006-2007 season (June of 06 through May of 07)
If they are accessing the schedule in August of 2007 I want them to get events filtered from June of 2007 through May of 2008 (the 2007 - 2008 season).
I can't seem to get my mind around the logic (and code) needed to build this query. If i build a query based on the year alone, by picking 2007 you would get the end of the 2006-2007 season and the beginning of the 2007-08 season (events from Jan 2007 through Dec 2007).
I have the ff. data:
Customer Name
Date
Subject
Problem
then when the user submitted the form, the ticket number will be automatically generated with the following format:
<last 2 digits of the current year>+<last 2 digits of the current month>+<number series 001-999>
example: 0409001
(where 04 stands for 2004, 09 for the month of september, then 001 refers to the 1st record)
then all the data will be saved to the database.
my problem is how can i do this?

I have made an ASP page that dynamically creates an XML page from articles stored in an Access Database. It works great and i was well pleased with myself.I was then sitting back admiring my own work when i suddenly thought.The page ends in .asp and not .xml.So i downloaded some free feed readers and news readers and they all found the feed with no problem and i thought i was going to be alright then it clicked - What if the "person" who wants to add my feed to their own site for example, has their site written in PHP?
I wrote a little PHP script that dynamically inserts feeds and sure enough, it will not accept a feed URL ending in .asp. It's (of course) fine if it ends in .xml So, (sorry for going on) Im wondering on your thoughts about this and what you would do? How LESS efective do you think an XML feed ending in .asp is?
i want to add this portion to my site.i want to display category of news depending on date.i want to display such news one month back from current date.
View Replies View RelatedMy site is currently 90% asp, which has created a huge problem when tryign to find a free news/journal script to put on my site. Do you know any good free news scripts that allow you to do the normal stuff: post news, admin login, upload pics, user comments (optional), keep an archive of all the old stuff past X posts, ect?
I could in theory, write my own script but I do not have that kinda time on my hands either.

View Replies View RelatedThis is my scenario. On the left of the screen, I have a list of news items, which are updated by the user and inserted into a database, and then they are dynamically displayed on screen from the database.
Now what I want is that if a user clicks a hyperlink from the left of the screen on a news item, the relevant text is displayed on the right. What I did up till now was that if I point on a news Item to the left of the screen, I know which item in the recordset it is since I created a counter.

View Replies View Relatedi have a created a CMS in which newstitle, the newsdetails and date(automatically inserted using the date() function) that it is added is inserted into an access db.
Now what i want to do is to create a news archive list which groups the news item added by month, so let's for the month of july all news are grouped into a heading call july(2007).
I am using asp to create a form where you can send the news article to a friend, and it actually sends the entire article. The problems the article contains <br>,<b>,<i> tags, and when I send the email it shows up like this Quote:
in the Holy Land: The Ideal and the Real. </b><br>
<br><br><br>
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at
North Park University,
I discovered the replace function. Replace(body, "<br>", chr(09)). That got rid of all the <br> tags, but there are still <b>, <i> tags in there. Is there a way to do a multiple replace like Replace(body, "<br>",chr(09) & "<b>", Chr(09))? I tried it and it did not work. Is there a way to do that?
I have added a new field in my database for the news items, basically a boolean value (true or false) for the display or hide of a news article. I have simple added to my queries WHERE newsDisplay, and that does the job except now I have one query qhich is actually causing me a small problem, due to the query already having a where clause.
like below:
dbSelectQuery("SELECT * FROM tblNews WHERE newsID ORDER BY newsDate DESC")
So that leaves me a little puzzled as to going about this query which should solve the small issue, I was even thinking is there a way I can use an if operator. Something along the lines of if newsDisplay = true or checked then do something else. Someone must know. I just dont think you can actually use an if statement on a sql query? Any tips would be perfect . PS - The new field I have added is newsDisplay as a yes/no in an access database.

I have a news page on a web site that now needs to be seperated in to a number of 'views' (eg. so that each user sees a different set of articles). I would like to stay away from using 20 include files!
I know how to do this with php but this time I don't have the luxury of being in an environment I'm familiar with. I also need to do this without a database, and in the most economical way possible.
can anyone tell me if it is possible to use asp to connect to a news group, such as this?
