Hi Gary! I guess you just answered my question about Webalizer, and I was also wondering what happened to BigBro Stats :-) Gary Van Domselaar wrote: > > As you may know, I have been working on upgrading the web server with > PHP.

I think it lacks a whole-year view. It would be nice if there were clickable "horizontal bars" in such a view showing the duration of a long event like a conference. Do you know what I mean? Do you know of any other calendars? Maybe we can request this feature. > 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.

Oh. I didn't think it was a security problem, but I guess you know more about that than I do. Webalizer looks nice. As long as I/we can get an idea as to what the activity is on the server. > 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. They look fine to me too. > 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). I like the title and the background. The background looks like a Bowie Poag image; is it? I don't think the menu area color (robin's egg?) matches the background though. BTW, did you catch the <htnews> tag that goes in the body? The news program actually generates index.shtml from index.template. <htnews> goes in index.template. I still need to post my logo idea too. Anyone else have an idea for a logo? Nice work, Gary. Thank you. :-) Jeff -- +------------------------------------+ | | | J.W.
