Hi,

This is probably going to be very big and very complicated, but I was wondering if there is any way to use .asp to create a system within a website that has users that can send forms/emails to only each other within the website but no email addresses, only names; sort of like private messaging in a forum, but just really simple and no special effects or anything; just a form sending information to a _____.html, and then making a link to that web page in another person's _____.html. Also, it would be nice, if possible, to be able to redirect a copy of all email messages to an administrator user that I set myself, or an email address. I don't need password protection, I have that all set up. Thanks to anyone that can manage to help me with this! Reading in these forums has helped me a ton!

Also, one of the ways I was considering was using ASPupload to have the form information uploaded as a ____.html, but then I don't know how to have a link automatically created in the other user's web page. Just a thought...

Hello, this is not too hard to implement, and I could give you some sample code, but I unfortunately unfamiliar with ASP.. What is your plan?

This is a website I'm building for the church I go to; I was really interested in web pages so I figured it would make good experience, and it's going to be a section for sharing prayer requests. The goal is to be able to add users and they can share their prayer requests personally and publicly. The idea is that there will be several users who can communicate personally, and also another user just called "public" that can not send messages and the password of the public user will be available for everyone. Right now I have a page that opens up, it asks you for your name and then whatever is typed it will be that _____.asp. Then people can also go to public if they don't know what else to do. To do it, all they type is "guest" and it goes to guest.asp. It's pretty cool. But not only does that mean I can have unlimited users, on each user's page there is a password required and I have set up a really short asp code to basically say you need to type a password and then below that is the whole page. So I have users set up, but I just need to know how to get it so that they can communicate. It's hard to figure out how to allow the person going to the web page to actually "make their own" web pages... At least for me. This is the first web page I've ever made before, and I'm learning a lot of things. However, I do not have any control panel; I'm just creating a smaller website and so I do everything by ftp. It can get pretty difficult at times. I hope someone can help! It'll be really cool if I can set this up.



Does anyone know how to create a form with asp that will directly send the information to a web page?

One more quick question that hopefully someone can answer: Is it at all possible to be able to set the permissions on a file to 7777; the default for me is 0777 but somehow I'm not being able to write certain information to a file. I don't have permissions to change that, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have the root account change it or give me permission to change it. Thanks for any help.

If you are just learning, ditch ASP and jump into ASP.NET. Making your own internal Messaging system is just a matter of managing a bunch of users from a SQL DB. I build a similar application for my client http://www.Desirousparty.com (Beware its a sinner community ) You should have a free MySQL DB with your hosting plan, its a great way to learn the DB stuff. Once you learn all you need to know, you will be like the rest of us. Kicking yourself for not using your coding skills to make the first myspace.
