Integrating and customizing DATES!DATES! is designed to be integrated into your web site. You can change almost everything about your calendars so that they fits with your own web site style. Here are some of the ways you can vary the appearance of your DATES! calendars to get the look you want.
Choose the display formatsDATES! offers a choice of four basic display formats: a monthly calendar; a one-column list of events; a two-column list of events; and tabular listing that can be sorted in different ways. You can choose which format you want to appear initially. Your web site visitors can then choose to change that view at their convenience. Have a look at these different formats here.
Choose your own colorsNaturally, you can choose the colors you want for your DATES! calendars. It's easy to pick your calendars' basic background and foreground colors. These colors will be carried through to all your calendar displays, whether monthly, or list, or table views. You can look at some examples of how color choices are displayed here.
Use headers, footers, logosYou can have whatever text or images or logos or combinations of those you want to appear at the top or bottom of each calendar display. For a header, you might want your organization's name and logo. For the footer, you might use a standard menu of links, or some "boiler plate" text, or a list of people to contact for further information.
Use framesIf you want to incorporate a DATES! calendar display into a more elaborate web page of your own, you can use "frames." If you don't know what frames are, your technology staff can easily help you--frames are a very common and well understood web technique. The best thing about using frames is that once a page is set up for them, you don't have to do anything afterwards except add events to your calendar. The frames will surround the DATES! display with whatever you want, every time anyone comes to your web site. There's no additional maintenance or complexity for you whatsoever!
