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.
Does anyone know of a database system available in which users could establish a user name and password to register products, buy merchandise and access a message board? I have moderate asp skills, but have no idea how to write or where to purchase software to create this database.

View Replies View RelatedI am working on a CMS website which uses a access database.
When a user adds a page a record is added to a table in the database. The user choses the page style from a selection of 7 or 8 layouts.
I have been asked to find out if I can password protect one of those pages??
I have tried a few sites but not found much. The it has been done before is to add a password protected layout and build a login area into the site.
The effect i want is for the user to click the page and a username and password box will apear?
I am currently developing a final year project which is a web based
tracking system tracking exam questions. I am using IIS as the
server, MS access for the database, and ASP with VBScript for the
scripting side of things.
One of the things I want to do would be to e-mail a user/moderator
whenever a exam question is edited/completed/updated. does anyone have
any previous expierence in this? i don't even know where to start.
What is the asp code variable for System Date and System Time? Are they built-in system variables, or is there some code involved to return the values?

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 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'm trying to include file if ?news=news by this code but is not working. Code:

View Replies View RelatedI've created a system DSN called 'accessDSN' for a MS Access DB.
I get an error when running the following.

Since details like database server, login, database etc is stored inside the

I want to stick with VB on this project. The only problem I have with this is that I might have a problem with printing. The POS system is designed on a small 10-15 computer networked system. They are all good systems so nonone say that it may be a little to intensive for the systems.
Now once the system runs through basic checks: change exchange, enough money to pay, and other smaller features then it has to print the invoice. Now we have a small Epson Thermol (prints like Lazer) printer. How would my VB application send that information to the printer?
Microsoft, in one of its "Help & Support" pages on ADO, says that a System DSN is three times faster than a File DSN. I find that a bit odd for the simple reason that won't it be faster for a script to access a file to get info about the database source than access the same info from the registry which will be the case if a System DSN is used
instead of a File DSN?
I wanna build an email/messaging system whereby all members of a portal can send messsages to each other (internally). An example of this application would be the system available in www.friendster.com whereby all friendster members can message each other. Each member has his/her own inbox, trash, sent messages and so on. Can anyone help me with this? I would be eternally grateful
Secondly, i need help with building a forum as well. So far i'm having difficulties getting one that is easily customisable.
I have been working on a simple eLeave System. I would like to get more advice of my db design. Basically, I have 2 tables here: user and leave_application. I will just put the relevant field needed for leave calculation.
user: date_employment, type, t_annual_entitled, t_annual_actual_taken, t_annual_balance
leave_application: date_leave_from, date_leave_to
There are 2 values under type, E - Executive and NE - Non-Executive.
Example
- If type = E, t_annual = 22
- If date_employment = 7 July 2005, t_workingdays = 187
- So, my formula for t_annual_entitled = (22 * 187) / 365
So, is my db design and my formula okay for this system? Any other better ways?
Created a basic ASP/ADO/Access 2000 Newsletter system using JMail.
Basically client has 300+ subscribers and wants to send 1 newsletter email
to them all every 1 - 2 months.
Missed my client's call to say it wasn't working, but having checked with my
ISP (FastHosts), they have some kind of embargo on the amount of emails that
can be sent every 10 seconds.
