How to put the calendar for the website

The calendar for placement on pages of the website, can look very differently - from a simple line with the indication of date, to interactive a flash element with a mass of audio and visual effects and a various set of additional functions. The choice of specific option depends on design of the website, its target audience and taste of the owner, and to pick up suitable option on the Internet not so difficult. The approximate sequence of actions for an insert of the calendar executed on a flash technology is given below.

Instruction

1. Find the version of the calendar which is most organically fitting into design of pages of your website. If you stop the choice on a flash elements of this sort, then it is desirable except the ready file for an insert in the page to receive and its source code to which if necessary it is possible to make changes independently or to ask to make it the knowing colleagues on a network message. For example, several good options can be found on the http://flashscope.com/blog/free-flash-interactive-calendar-components page - the author offers calendars together with source codes and does not require payment. Settings (except appearance) do not demand these elements as they do not need also additional scripts, sounds or any other supporting files.

2. Load the swf-file of the selected option on the server of the website. It can be done via the browser, having used the manager of files in a management system of your website or in the hosting control panel. It is possible for the same purpose to use also the specialized program - the ftp-client.

3. Place in the source code of the page the block of tags for the display loaded on the website a flash calendar. The management system, except the manager of files, has also the built-in editor of pages - use him for this purpose. Having loaded the page in such editor, install the cursor to its right place and click an insert a flash element on the control panel. In the opened window select the loaded swf-file and enter its sizes in the respective fields of a form, and then click OK. The editor will make tags and will place in the code without your participation. If the website has no management system, then download the file of the page to yourself in the computer and open it, for example, in a normal notepad. The block of the code which you need to insert into the right place of the source code, maybe, for example, it:
<object classid= 'clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' of align='middle' codebase= 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0' of width= '298' of height= '299'>

<param name='movie' value='Calendar.swf'/>

<embed wmode='opaque' align='middle' src='Calendar.swf' quality='high' width= '298' of height= '299' of type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage= 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' of allowScriptAccess='sameDomain'/>

</object>
You need to replace height (299) and width (298) which are twice specified in this fragment of the code with the corresponding sizes of your calendar, as well as twice specified name of the file (Calendar.swf). After that save and load back on the server the edited page.
