the following letter from the Star Tribune....
I want to show you this application that combines
the calendar and db_manager scripts. I did this for
the Star Tribune's (Minneapolis newspaper) intranet.
It allows the admin to add a class to the database
(including an entry for the number of weeks it will run - and
populate the database). Each class can also have a sign-up
option with a max. number of participants. End-users can
then find a class either with the calendar or search option
and sign-up.
The admin then has the option
of pulling reports on class participants, including sending
an email reminder (this was an added feature by another
db_manager user). Since the server they had was slow,
I had the admin generate a static html calendar
page whenever there were updates. You can find this one at:

The above URL was something that I put together for the International
Interactive Multimedia Society that I belong to for a demonstration about 2
years. ago.
