Dreamweaver ASP Event Calendar With Database

Purchase and DownloadASP Event Calendar with Database is a special version of the DW ASP Event Calendar adding support for MSAccess, ODBC and MSSQL databases. Dreamweaver ASP Event Calendar is an extension for Dreamweaver that allows a fast and simple insertion of this type of calendar into a webpage.

Important: Note that this special version is sold as a separate extension. However if you have purchased previously the standard ASP Event Calendar (with plain text databases) please contact us and we will provide you with an upgrade link for only us$30.00. Be sure to include the email address used for the previous purchase in your contact message.

New: Dreamweaver is no longer a mandatory requirement for this product. Beside a Dreamweaver extension, we are launching a version that can be used directly, without having to use Dreamweaver, just by copying the files and pasting the code into your webpage.

Dreamweaver ASP Event Calendar can be easily adapted to all kinds of purposes. You can manage and show information in many different ways. Initially it was designed as a calendar for events, but several features were added to it and now it can be used perfectly for activities, appointments, bookings, links, or simply to show information associated to specific dates and/or range of dates.

This Calendar has the following features:

  • Support for MSAccess, ODBC and MSSQL databases.
  • Associate a floating panel to each day or range of days; the panel will show information related to these dates. Otherwise, you can assign a direct link to a date, so that your website users are automatically redirected to a specified URL when they click on a certain date.
  • Floating panels can be shown by either by clicking on the date, or by pointing your mouse on the date (mouse over). You can also associate both links and floating panels to each date, at the same time.
  • Each date can have one or more events, which can be differentiated by using independent colors, which you select yourself.
  • The information in the floating panels is edited using an HTML Editor, which allows to format your data to any way you like, quite simply.
  • All the administration and visualization is achieved using modern Ajax technologies, which renders this product user friendly and comfortable.

INSTALLATION AND USE

Basically just copy the files into your website and start reading from the step #5 below.

To install from Dreamweaver, follow these steps:

  1. Double-click the .MXP file to install it within Dreamweaver (only required to do once, to install it)

  2. Restart Dreamweaver (required only the first time, after the installation)

  3. Open the page where the calendar is going to be inserted and seen by your website visitors.

  4. Insert the calendar from the menu "Dreamweaver Menu >> Commands >> Insert ASP Event Calendar"

    The following window will appear:

    Insert ASP Event Calendar

    • Language: Language in which the calendar will be shown. Currently included are: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Portuguese and Dutch.
    • Pages Number: You can choose that the calendar appears with more than one months shown in a single view.
    • Cell Width & Height: Width and Height of each calendar's cell: this allows you to control your calendar's size.
    • Username & Password: Need to be entered in order to securely access your calendar's administration panel.

  • Title: This is the title of the floating panel with the relevant information.
  • Description: Contents of the floating panel.
  • Select Interval: Select a day and a range of days for the event. The first click indicated the first day, the second click indicates the final day.
  • Show Tooltip on …: Select, in this field, whether you want the floating panel to be shown when mouse is moved over the cell in question, or only when the cell is clicked on.
  • Goto the URL …: If you want your users to be directed to another URL when they click on a certain date, enter the relevant URL in this field. Here you can also decide whether you want that URL to be opened in the same window, or in a new one.
  • Select Colors: Select the color for the event.

SETTING WRITING PERMISSIONS & DATABASE ACCESS DETAILS:

Keep in mind that if you are using MSAccess databases you have to set writing permission for the folder that contains the database (MDB) file and to the MDB file. The default location for the database is "DC_ASPEventCalendar/admin/database". As additional security measure we recommend to disable downloads for that folder.

There should be an option in your web hosting control panel to set write permissions. If it's not present, you may can contact your web hosting service and request the write permissions for the ASP code.

If you want to use another database or to place it in another location, all you need is to put the related connection string into the file "/DC_ASPEventCalendar/config.inc.php" and to import the tables from the sample MSAccess database (located in the folder mentioned above).
