: Schedule of Events

Go right to the Auto Installation section

Schedule of Events allows you to maintain of updated schedule of happenings for viewers via a web browser editor interface. It sorts the entries, allows for deleting and editing entries, and automatically checks for and deletes passed dates entries each time the schedule is pulled up. It runs as a server side include. You can even put HTML tags in the event descriptions. This package is a custom written program for Speedsoft users.

A feature was added that shows a year-in-advance calendar below the Schedule of Events. The dates that have associated events are linked in the calendar. A name tag is included above the calendar named "yearahead" which you can link to at the top of your Schedule of Events page or from another web site.

Test it out on our Test Schedule of Events. This is installed with all of the default options. The Schedule Editor uses the username "test" and password "test".

There are three files included in the your account to run the Schedule of Events. Below is a brief summary of them:

  1. schedule.shtml - This file contains the SSI that runs the schedule of events and has a link to the Schedule Editor.
  2. schedule.pl - The Perl script which calls the schedule of events. This link is in the schedule.html file.
  3. sch_edit.pl - The Perl script which accesses the schedule editor. There is a link to this in the schedule.html file.

How can I customize the look of my Schedule of Events display?
You can customize the look using style sheets. For example, if you wanted to make the "date" and "event" headings have a red background with 12pt white text, and have all of the text appear in "Arial" font, with the other text at 10pt, you would add the following between the <head></head> tags in your schedule.shtml file:

<style>
<!--
th { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; background-color: #FF0000 }
td { font-family: Arial; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt }
-->
</style>

"th" is the heading of the table and "td" is the body of the table.
