Hey,

I created this (http://dannyweb.net/devs/scouts) site a while ago, and yes i know it uses i-frames and yes i know that i-frames are the bain of all existance.

As you will see on the home page, the custom blog script has been put into good use allowing my pro bono client's to update the site themselves.

But, if you goto the calander page, this is where my problem is.

The scout troop reguarly want this updating, and its getting to much for me to continuously drop what im doing to update one line of code. Mainly due to the fact that they always decide last minute to add it to the site.

So...

Is there a script kicking around that would give me the same style layout as the <apologies>table</apologies> that you can see.

It would need to have two main advantages...

1) The table would need a admin section of some page, allowing the client to login and type three feilds:

Feild One: Date of activity
Feild Two: Activity name
Feild Three: Link to another page

2) If possible the script would automatically delete the posts one day after they have taken place for example:

19/02/05 Website Forum Post Link

The above post would delete on the 20/02/02, this is mainly because young kids and their parent have a tendancy to check the site early in the morning of the activity to remember what they are doing, or to get directions etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Much Appreciated,

Jamie

The best way to do this is to use a custom made script Danny, you could no doubt butcher the bespoke blog script down. I would suggest doing a bit of reading on "storing and displaying database records in php" or something along those lines, it really is quite simple. I would do it for you but you know how things are the moment through our discussions on MSN.
