I know about dreamweaver, and im on a 2day business course… 2nd day tomorrow… but I know lots of html as it is… would it still be a steep learning curve ?
Easier yet, you can setup mailboxes in exchange and give them the meeting room names. Then you can set them up to auto accept meeting request in the resource booking option. Then you can publish them to a website so people can see when they’re available.
All you have to do to book it is invite it to the meeting when you send the request out.
Ive been asked to implement somthing like this aswell, but customer order tracking rather than room bookings.simplest way i thought was just an excel sheet, which is shared on a central server that everyone can access. Be interesting to see how this pans out
It would in my mind require php or asp, not html, and a database engine backend to do it “properly”, if all you know is html, then yes rather steep learning curve. By all means have a crack at it though, I am sure there are many on here with the abilities to help.
My advice is based on years of consultancy. I always look for the easy option, find something someone has already done that <could> fit the agenda. Why build something from scratch when you can get a product that someone has already been through the pains of development to create?
Bit of php on an enabled server and a csv database file is all that’s needed as a minimum.
Though unlike MC’s option, I’d put some security in place so you cannot
overide something that is already in place and that would include using a
proper RDMS database.
Your better having the school use anything they currently have that can be setup
or get a proper off the shelf package to get it implimented.
But the answers can be simple if you have access to ACCESS MDB’s on a server or MYSQL on server. You could hack a page from inside access using Blank data Access Page. This will walk you thru the building of a basic Access HTML page…
We use Exchange/Outlook for our room reservations. As long as our secretary keeps things up to date when people outside our agency want to book a room, anyone within our agency can setup a meeting and include the room(s) as required, then they can look at the caleandar and see available dates/times. It also requires everyone else to keep their personal calendars up to date for scheduling purposes.
In other words, exactly what Juggy mentioned above.
The origional question flies in slow circles inside wolrams mind, creating a swirling montage of pleasantly soothing colours, occasionaly shot through with flashes of incandessant light … similar to a moonlit surf breaking over a rocky shore …
The various answers hit his frontal lobes like the sting from 1000 tazers, the accompanying pain and bewilderment leaving him to wonder why he even attempted to understand what everyone was talking about :shrug:
I guess I will always be fikko about lots of geeky things :lol: :lol:
any links or help ?
