Welcome to CWM. I see you are from Italy - I don't know we have had anyone form there yet!

One suggestion - use text links rather than form buttons for your links - since search engines won't be able to index your site as it is currently.

The background colour of the new site is a bit too bright. I actually prefer the colour of the old site - maybe you can use the same one?

The address book seems to work well.

There's just about everything you could possibly imagine listed here, but see if there's something that might help you out:

If not, let me know and I'll do some more digging for ya!

Welcome to CWM, by the way /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Oh, sorry I misread your post - didn't realise you were looking to change your current one.

If you can use one that uses sessions rather than .htpasswd, that would be a big improvement.

thanks for the warm welcome...

Because of all the different applications, I am thinking about some type of groupware, like e-groupware to consolidate all the applications, but it requires a lot of configuration (software and server). Under the staff link, is the admin tools for all the applications. I used an online file manager which the staff can upload sermons (audio/video library). The files when uploaded will update the audio/video page dynamically so there is no modification required.
I have two other address books I am looking at but having a little configuration issues. The address book I use now has been modified...but what I really want to do is tie the addressbook in with the calendar (which has reminders). The addressbook has to be modified to accomodate birthdates and all family members. The birthday would be looked at by the calendar and send a birthday greeting if an email address is provided. A coding nightmare for any non-programmer (me). I would hope someone in this forum has some kind of good online database that can handle what I am talking about.
I am going to try a few other address books first if I can't find a good one already in operation.

As for the buttons...this site is really in its first draft. I have purchased all the buttom menus from APYCOM and provide them to anyone who hosts with me (free of charge). The new site will most likely use the new buttons. I am not worried about the menu buttons being read by any bot. First, we can alt tag all the buttons and more importantly, the metatags hold the information needed.

bobbyMac, the new site color is meant to be viewed with sunglasses /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />
we like the new color....

I recently did two installs of e-groupware and found it to be a pleasure to work with.

The server required no configuration at all... From start to finish, the installation took about twenty minutes, but I had SSH access to both servers. Without SSH access, I'm sure it would take a lot longer to upload all those untared files /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

If you need any help or have any questions about e-groupware, feel free to ask! I haven't had a lot of tiem to play with it since I installed it on my local computer, but what I have seen appears to be pretty nice.

Blessings,

excellent! i would really like some help with that. I do have ssh access to but i don't have root access to the server and editing http.d is a big no-no. I have a dedicated server team that maintains our servers.
if i can make the necessary changes via ssh, then I am all for getting together to set it up.
i use trillian for instant messaging. I have accounts on yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and IRC (not all at once....too old for that now!)

You won't need to do any editing of the http.d file! Yikes!! No no -- none of that.

I can give you a very quick outline here (just off the top of my very-tired head), then I'll catch you on MSN some time (I'll PM you my info when I'm done writing this post).

Basically, what you need to do is create a database for eGroupWare (If you only have one database, then that's okay, but it's better to give it its own dedicated databse).

Next you'll create the directory for it.

That creates the directory (first line) and moves you into the direcotry (second line).

Next you download eGW onto your server:

That places the .tar.gz file in your /egroupware directory.
Wait for it to download (Warning! the file is 11MB. Just so ya know!)
Next you decompress:

Now your server is going to spit out about 10,000 lines of stuff at you... Ignore it all.....

Now, what you should have at this point is (from your home directory), /egroupware/egroupware/

Chances are, that's not what you want! So you want to copy the contents up one direcotry (this is where my memory gets shaky, but I'll talk you through it on MSN):

That shouldn't take very long.

Now you're ready to install (I think).. i'll have to nab another copy of it and install it again to remember all the steps, but it's pretty simply to walk though. Everything after that you can do through the web interface (I think). You'll just need to be sure to have: 1) Your database username, 2) your database password, 3) Your database name.

That should be about it!

I'm off to PM ya.
God Bless,
LW
