4/4/07-"Secret" Function on Nobreakdowns.com Site

Our Calendar is Actually Your Calendar Too!

A few months ago, one of our site visitors accidentally stumbled onto a programming error on our web site. He was able to add events to the site calendar from the user side of the system, and loaded up some fantastic preventive maintenance tasks, so he could track them. The only problem was EVERYONE ON EARTH could see his entries, which was not so good.

Well, at first, we thought we had a disaster on our hands! But, after a few minutes of discussion, we thought, "Hey, this is a neat little feature!" So, we had our web developer build anew function into our calendar, allowing anyone to enter and view their own calendar items on our site. Don't you just love it when a mistake results in something good?

Now, here is the twist. You actually can enter items 2 ways:
1 - Without logging in, enter an event. This sends the event to the site admin user, who will review it for posting to the public calendar. If your event is something maintenance people might want to know about, this is how to share it!

2 - Login, and the calendar switches automatically to "personal mode", and you can enter events that only you can see when logged in. The tool is quite powerful, allowing repetitive events and other features.

Take me to the calendar now...

I need a login...

I don't give a rat's ass about your calendar...
