Hi anybody,
we want to do our time table for spectrometer time (we have 2 shifts per
day, which have to been booked 1 week earlier) not longer per "hardware
calender" (i.e. normal paper) but per network which anybody of us can
reach from anywhere.
Which solutions are there?? Does anybody solved the problem already??
One of them might be web-site. It is easy to esatblish a fixed table per
HTML, but: the entries must be changeable be the users !
This means: everybody must be able to book online a free shift.
As far as I know, to change a constents of a table (or a formular) and
then save it is not possible per java.script.
Can anybody help?
Thanks.
Matthias,
What you are seeking is very possible. Check out my page at
Click on the instrument signup links and you will see my solution. What I
have is probably a lot more than you described, but you can see what is
possible. Now, how to do it. First you will need access to a web server.
Most web administrators will not give you access to their servers due to
some very real security concerns. There is a server available as freeware
which will run on many platforms call APACHE. Check out their page at
Setting up a small server system is not too difficult. That is what you
connected to at my site. Mine is running on OS/2. Next you will need to
set up a script program. These may be written in several different
programming languages, such as C or PERL. I use REXX which is the OS/2
scripting language. From here on you will need to set up your data base
and the programs that will access it. Permission protocols will probably
need to be established to prevent unauthorized access.
This is the basic system. Implementing it can be more complicated depending
on your ability to write your own programs. I can give you more details
about how my system works if you would like, just let me know.
