I would like to create a list of events, with several items of info for each entry, where everything lines up nicely, editable with WebYep, which expands or scrolls, since I don’t know how long my client’s list will become.
One way you could approximate your example site would be with a WebYep loop. You could set up each column as a short text item. The way it would work is someone would start a new loop after loging in and add entries to columns, although they wouldn’t appear to be columns to the admin. The problem I can see that might happen is the text overflows the field when more content than can be displayed is entered.
The other way, also using WebYep, would be to use a Rich Text Format item that client could to set up a regular table inside of. If you put the RTF item inside an html item (i.e. a div) you can set the html div to hide overflow content and set its height to fixed. Doing that will make the div scroll any content that is bigger than size of div.
Hi Chuck - thanks for all that. I will give them a try - I little for me to understand & fumble through.
Just to complicate things further, they want have a search for location or month. I have no idea how that can be accomplished. Maybe Atomz (http://www.atomz.com/), but I don’t want the search to go further than the page the calendar is on. I’ll have to take a look at that, too.
You may also want to think about using a dedicated php calendar/event script for that as your needs is starting to sound more complex than WebYeb’s built-in capabilities are capable of. This is assuming your hosting service has php installed of course. You could use atomz, but as you say is not specific to calendar events.
There are many commercial as well as free scripts available. Many require the use of MYSQL, some don’t. Many of them are overkill for your needs, many are less than you need. Have a browse them as something may jump out at you. Adding the scripts to a Freeway document is not all that difficult. The tricky part will be the setting up the MYSQL database if you are new to it.
