Looking for a diary

[studio17]

I want to run a calendar page on my website where I can paste up 'free' & 'booked' dates.
Essentially so that folk can see when I have some free dates in my schedule.
Any such scripts out there?
I use a Mac computer, Camino browser & write my pages in html.

A "diary" sounds like a blog (or maybe one-user comment script). But your post describes a schedule or calendar. Have you searched google? There are MANY calendar scripts out there.

However, unless you want to manually create a new page for each day, you will need to use at least Javascript and potentially a serverside language (like PHP) in order to store the information in a database or text file on the server.

Some sort of user-friendly CMS (content management system) may do what you need as well, if you use certain features (or maybe add-ons/extensions). Look into wordpress, for example. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess there are some options available (perhaps as I said as an extenion/third-party addition) for a calendar/schedule.


And if you can't find anything, it's certainly possible to write one-- I'd suggest using PHP (and probably MySQL), depending on what your server has available.

Thanks for quick answer
I guess a blog might be OK & of course the calendar like you have on this forum could work.
Otherwise I may just write my own using tables perhaps, then I can just change the colour of dates that get booked.

There are lots of calendars out there-- do a google search.

The question is whether you require some sort of automated "admin" options where you can modify the details without having to change the code.

If you don't require that, then it will be very easy (probably easy to build yourself), and if you do, look for what I suggested with a CMS or perhaps just a calendar 'script' (probably in PHP, though).

OK Thanks....
Just started googling :)
