Special Feature Pages...

There are a number of special feature pages within Aliquant that require you to create a custom link. This is done to give you more control on how (or if) these pages are available on your site. Following is a list of these pages and requirements for linking to them.

Events Calendar... The events calendar page is in the root of your site. The page is named calendar.asp. The URL would be:

http://www.yourdomain.com/calendar.asp 

Typical link code might look something like this:

<a href=/calendar.asp>Today's Events</a>

This page will accept two query string variables... GMO and DATEFROM. If you pass in a specific date in the DATEFROM variable the program will show only events for that date... for example...

<a href=/calendar.asp?DATEFROM=07/4/2008>Fourth of July Events</a>

The events page will show ONLY events for the 4th of July 2008.

If you pass in a specific month in the GMO variable... 

<a href=/calendar.asp?GMP=07>July Events</a>

The events page will show ALL events for the entire month FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. If you use the link illustrated above in January of '06 the resulting page would show events for July of 2006. In February it would show events for July of 2007.

Web Email Forms...

Aliquant's email forms designer allows you to create multiple online email forms. These forms allow your users to provide or request information. To link to a particular form the forms designer provides you with a "link" address for the form in the forms administration area. The file you will link to is:

formdisplay.asp?ID=XXXX

The file name is formdisplay.asp. For the form to work properly you must also pass the ID of the form you want to display. You do this with a query string... 

?ID=XXXX

• The question mark indicates that a name/value pair is included.
• The ID= identifies the name of the value being sent
• The XXXX must be the ID of the form you want displayed.

For more information on using forms see (Creating Forms).

Membership Information...

If you are using Aliquant's optional Membership Component you have the option of publishing the member information on your site. However, you must create a link to the membership search page. The search page is:

/membersearch.asp

A typical link would look similar to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/membersearch.asp

Opt-In Email Signup...

If you are using Aliquant's optional Opt-In email program you must create a link to the opt-in page. The page with all of the opt-in options is created automatically. In many cases Aliquant users prefer to create a special notification in one of the user navigation areas or create a content section / page to promote the email opt-in. The opt-in file is:

/optin.asp

A typical link would look similar to:

http://www.yourdoman.com/optin.asp

Content Search Page... 

Aliquant's navigation bar management allows you to add a "quick search" to one of your navigation bars. If you choose to create your own search you may do so by pointing to the search page:

/search.asp

A typical url would look similar to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/search.asp

You can also create your own search form. Your form definition would look similar to:

<form action=/search.asp method = post>

The search page accepts the following form values:

kword - this value takes a string value. For example

<input type=text name=kword size=10>
