My client has 35 domains (web addresses) that they want to host on a Windows 2K box with IIS 5. They want one application built using ASP and SQL server, hosted somehow on the IIS so that it appears as the same application for each domain. The end user of each domain will actually be using the same application.The head of each of the 35 domain, or the jr. web master of each domain should be able to cutomize the look of the each of their domain. This customization feature would be built into the ASP application. Things that can be changed would be some text, color of text, size and color of input boxes.
This application will be similar to some of the eCommerce sites that have a web interface for their merchants to be able to modify their individual sites. Sort of selecting and modifying templates. They want 1 application so any changes and update of the application will reflect on all domains.My question is how do I start designing this?
Where can I get info on this project, any opensource stuff I can look at?
Do I incorporate XML anywhere?The domains will be accessing the same DB, how do I minimize DB trips?
I'm currently in the middle of the most advanced ASP project I have ever worked on, and was wondering if I can get any feedback on what anyone thinks about it so far (or suggestions for improvement later, etc.)
Basically, it will be a single core set of ASP files, that will allow anyone to set up a webpage in minutes by simply selecting a pre-developed site template, and pre-developed site plugins (a plug-in being anything from a menu, to a CC processing tool, etc.), so that user's can simply "manage" their site look/use rather than program everything over and over again. In the end there will even be an import to instantly convert any existing site.
Developers can build templates and plug-ins at will, and will be interchangeable on the site with the click of a link or button.
This project is planned to be open source but is still months away from completion, but to check out a sample of how it basically will work, we are currently testing it at URL.
I am trying to create a URL from a list of names from a database...it showing up blank. Trying to pass ID and Name as parameters too. the code I tried is below, thanks in advance.
NAMES.Open() Names.MoveFirst Response.Write "<TABLE Border='1'>" Do While NOT NameS.EOF %> <a href="access.asp?intID=<%Response.Write(Names("ID")) %>&strName=<%Response.Write Server.URLEncode(Names("Name"))%>"> </a>
I have found some code on the net and been given permission to use it. However I wish to connect this code to a SQL Server database, so what would I use? I am mainly an ASP/HTML/JS user but it will not let me use the standard VB script on a .xml page. How do I connect my XML to the database?
I just got in charge of a weekly online magazine. I was wondering if there are any webmasters out there who might recommend a good ASP driven CMS for this task, better if free.
I am looking for info and maybe an example on a database driven dual drop down. I need the second drop down populated by the selection of the first drop down.
when doing a dynamic site such as this, how does one handle the articles? is the whole article dropped into the db? or does it sit somewhere else and the db just references it?
i'm going to convert a large static site over to asp this summer and am starting to plan the architecture and i haven't really been able to find the answer.
I have 3 websites and make use of free counters provided by other web hosting companies to count the no of hits. Now I want to install a multiple-user databased driven asp counter (with initial value setting) in one of my sites to provide the statistics. I try to use the google search to look for a free script but to no avail. Anyone know of a free asp script that I could use for this purpose?
Does anyone know where I can find a free simple script to create a search engine using Access Database backend and will allow the user to type in a word (not a using drop down list) and it will search the table.
what i want to do is create an image gallery, that when u click on a picture it opens in a pop up with the images caption and name there also. I've stored the captions and image names in a database - images.mdb table - Images
I just need a page now that sorts it all out to display the correct image, caption and title in the pop up. The images are stored in folder images and the database in the website root directory.
i've read a couple of articles on various websites, and played with the image gallery wizard on Frontpage but the websites dont explain my problem, and i cant adapt the gallery on frontpage. I'm a bit of a novice in ASP so I would really appreciate it if you could some how make the bits of the script I need to change standout.
My client has an annual calendar of events consisting of a record for each event, key field is the event date saved as a date type field. They would like the display to start with the current month, list to the end of the year then start the beginning of the year and list up to the current month.How does one retrieve data based on date? I guess I'd like something like :
SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE [month is greater than or equal to the current month] ORDER BY Date
Then :
SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE [month is less than the current month] ORDER BY Date
What is the syntax for the month bits between the []?
I always heard the term "data/database driven programming" model in ASP database, SQL programming, and web programming circles. But I don't quite sure what does it mean? Does it mean the web software's responds are based on data request from the user? Just like in Windows, we call it "event-driven programming" model because the windows program's responds based on user's responses? That's why we call "data driven programming" ?
I want to develop a site with the following features:
1. A movie library (DVD's, VCD's etc) 2. A database 3. search by category, title, actor, etc 4. membership signup 5. tracking system for lent out titles
Now am new to ASP just dived in am using Visual web developer express edition. Please point me in the right direction on the best way to do this. Am self taught kind a person and will not take me a long time to get the hang of it once in the right direction. Am not conversant with Visual basic or C#.
Ive created a site using ASP and an Access database. At the moment the database is unprotected, and I haven't used any usernames or passwords to access the database. Now that development of the core site is almost complete, i want to secure the database.
I want to create a breadcrumb trail on a site, but instead of being generated by cookies or a directory structure, it needs to be database driven. My website details hundreds of products, each belonging to a category. Each category can belong to a parent category, and so on.
My site will feature master/detail pages, and both need to feature a trail, e.g.
Books > Hobbies > Sport > Football
The master page will list all items within the current category, and the trail will allow the user to click to any parent category for a wider listing.
The detail page will show the item detail, along with a full trail to the category/parent categories it belongs to.
The category structure will grow over time, and different branches will have different number of levels so it needs to be maintainable.
I entered a whole year's worth of events. I want to display a range of events which change according to the date, so only 2 weeks later and one week earlier are displayed on the main page.
How did other people deal with similar issues? I know I can set a range mathematically speaking (date + 14 AND date -7). But did other people encounter other issues? How did you solve them?
I am trying to update a website that uses ASP to connect to a database.
I want to change a template file i have so that it is CSS driven with as few tables as possible.
I have managed to strip the tables from the header and footer sections of the template and replace them with divs and CSS styled unordered lists.
I am struggling with the site breadcrumb, navigation and main content areas as these use ASP code to draw data from a database (i dont have access to the database). The site is updated using a Content Management System.
The main site webmaster has told me that a CSS driven template is unworkable. I think that she just cannot be bothered to change with the times and therefore won't move to a CSS driven layout. She took great lengths explaining that she had been doing the job for six years and that tables were the best way to go.
I have the template file i'm trying to change. I have included the full template unchanged below. The template code is below: Code:

Are there any template engines out there for ASP? I'm a PHP guy at heart and I love my Smarty template engine. Is there a template engine out there for ASP that is comparable to Smarty? Are there any template engines at all for that matter?
I need to create a template for an online newsletter that will auto-generate page number (with current page not hyperlinked) and previous and next buttons (no previous on first page and no next on last page).

I had coded a button on FirstPage.asp, so that when user clicks on the button,then the SecondPage.asp will pop up and a list of messages which is retrieved from database will be displayed, row by row accordingly.

I am implementing print template solution. I would like to use it in asp app. I open new document then generate print preview then print and finally close preview window, but I am not able to close previewed document. I try to move document window out of screen - somewhere like 9999999,9999999 position, view preview then print and finnaly close preview window. Then document window is invisible but still exists. How can I close the document window after preview??
