Locians, As you may know, I have been working on upgrading the web server with PHP. I recently installed the mysql relational database on theopenlab box, so now we can use PHP with mysql (joy!). Jeff pointed out a cst-calendar proggy that uses mysql with php. i installed it on my home box: http://gvd.v-wave.com/~gvd/calendar/index.php3 if you like it i can instal it on the openlab server for the bioinfo portal. I had a little bit of trouble turning on the server-side includes for theopenlab apache server, this resulted in a 'broken' stats page and counter. I personally am not too fond of the web stats generator that was being used (big brother): it logs and displays visitor information like operationg system and stuff-- good stuff for script kiddies. for your consideration i put the webalizer on there instead. Just click the 'view the statistics' link at the bottom of theopenlab main page to check it out. Big brother is still there, but if you want to view it i suggest to password protect it first. I also placed a php/sql counter on theopenlab index and loci index pages. If you like them i will keep them. I think they look fine. Finally, I have begun working on a template for the new web page design. point your browser to http://bioinformatics.org/dev/ and tell me what you think (its still very rough). --Gary =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Gary Van Domselaar gvd at redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca Faculty of Pharmacy Phone: (780) 492-4493 University of Alberta FAX: (780) 492-5305 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
