To create a calendar in that kind of style, all you need to know is the basics of database querying with php or what ever language you are using.

 

Query the database sorting it by date so it displays the current activities for the relevent date, When the user clicks on the link to view the event, query the database again to view the selected event.

ok do you know of any good tutorials of how to do this??

 

cheers

I'd get a good book on php and mysql development. or visit lynda.com or www.video-tutes.com

how much would one of you charge to do the database for me?

If you hang tight I have a video tutorial somewhere showing you how to make one from scratch in PHP. Well actually a friend did it.

ok but how easy is it, baring in mind i am a beginner, but send me the link anyway, sounds good!

Buddy sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

 

The tutorial was on an old server and there is no longer such a tutorial in existence *cries.

 

Sorry to build you up to bring you down.

 

There are many more on the web
