VPASP V7 status for BigYellowZone Addons:
click here for details

Released: 8/25/2009 2:05:00 PM

We've decided to extend the discounting of the BYZ subscription services, where the initial fee element is reduced by the cost of BYZ Addons that you've purchased in the last 12 months. This relates to the subscription services of BYZ147, BYZ148, and BYZ149. The reduced price will be shown when you get to the confirm-order page (ie after you have entered your domain).

Released: 4/25/2009 10:45:00 AM

BYZ Subscription Services added! You can now subscribe to get addons, or hosting, or both. For people who have bought BYZ addons in the last 12 months, you can trade-in what you've spent on addons in the last 12 months against a reduction in the relevant initial-fee element of the subscription service. This trade-in offer will only last for the next 30 days, so trade-in now! This trade-in relates to BYZ147, BYZ148, and BYZ149. See "subscription services" in the right-panel above or click on "services list" at the top. You'll get/see your discounted price of the subscription when you get to the final "confirm order" page (ie before you make payment, but after you've chosen your domain(s)). For example, if you've spent £120 on BYZ addons in the last 12 months, then you can get BYZ147 for just £37. If you've spent £200 on BYZ addons in the last 12 months then BYZ147 would only cost you £7. The prices concerned relate to prices excluding vat/tax and do not include installation cover/services. PLEASE NOTE: If you already have BYZ072/02 (Installation Cover) then that installation cover becomes invalid after you subscribe.

Released: 4/14/2009 2:00:05 PM

The My-Software screen has been changed to show a traffic-light system which shows a red cross for any modules which need upgrading, and a green tick for any modules which are up to date, which allows you to see at a glance if you need upgrades. NOTE: Please check your my-software screen regularly to see if upgrades are available.

Released: 4/14/2009 2:00:00 PM

Upgrade protection has been added which you can optionally purchase whenever you buy new modules, domains, or upgrade. It will give you permanent cover against the cost of future software upgrades for your module/domain. This is a major change to the bigyellowkey.com system; please let us know if you have any problems/questions.

Released: 2/23/2009 11:05:00 PM

**Notice: There was a temporary glitch with the bigyellowkey.com checkout process today; we have now investigated/fixed the problem. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

VAT Reduced to 15% - Following the recent government announcements in the UK, VAT (only payable on orders placed from the EU) has now been reduced from 17.5% to 15% with immediate effect from Midnight 1st December 2008, and will remain at 15% for 13 months. All of the bigyellowkey.com ordering and payment processes have been changed to accommodate this. Customers outside the EU do not pay any VAT. Customers from the UK always pay VAT.

Released: 11/22/2007 4:29:00 PM

Mail-Lists (with discounts) added. Your profile now has a mail-list option at the bottom where you can optionally sign up to mail-lists. Some mail-lists will give you discounts (these discounts will be explained on the mail-list description). Default will always be "no sign up" for any customer, either historic or new customers. You will need to explicitly tick the sign-up box and save the changes to get added to the mail-list (and receive the relevant discount).

Released: 10/16/2007 11:57:00 AM

Live/Archived radio buttons fixed - the live/archived/all radio buttons at the top of your "My Software" (and other "My") screens have now been fixed. They were previously one-step behind what you pressed, but are now correct and automatically refresh as soon as you click on one of the radio buttons.

Released: 10/16/2007 11:56:00 AM

localhost assigned for free - you can now add localhost to any of your licenses during purchases/upgrades, or via your "My Domains" tab, and it will automatically give you the localhost key for free.

Released: 10/16/2007 11:55:00 AM

New version of byk released - if your customer control panel shows you the login screen, then please login again. Once logged in you will no longer need to login again.

Released: 10/11/2007 12:30:00 PM

Upgrade fix applied. There was a problem when upgrading Backfilled BYZ licences, this has now been fixed, but if you upgraded on BYK prior to this news item being added then go into your "My Software" screen, and check if you have multiple versions of a given product for a given domain; if you have multiple versions then press the archive link on the old versions, then go to your license keys page and create a new license key file, then download that key file and upload it to your site.

Released: 10/8/2007 11:50:00 PM

Sub-Modules added to your software lists - We have now ensured that all of your sub-modules are now listed for your main modules on your software screen. This means that you can now upgrade/download either the main module, and/or the sub-modules. Our upgrading and purchasing procedures use "intelligent" bundling, whereby if you've upgraded/bought all the corresponding sub-modules then you'd automatically also be assigned all appropriate parent bundls, and if you buy/upgrade a bundle then it will automatically assign access to all the sub-modules as well. Checkout your "My Software" screen, as it may now be showing you additional/new sub-modules.

Released: 9/28/2007 8:15:00 AM

BYZ Interface Improved - We have now changed our sister site (bigyellowzone.com) so that you will only get directed to bigyellowkey when you checkout, and not each time you add an item to your cart. This means that you can continue freely shopping/browsing on bigyellowzone.com without having to jump between byk/byz sites for each item. Note that for upgrades you should always use bigyellowkey.com for browsing/purchasing, and not bigyellowzone.com.

Released: 9/25/2007 11:45:00 PM

Version History Displays - We've added a link on the product-codes on your "My Software" screen which will popup a printer-friendly page that displays all the product details and the full version history (ie all the release notes of all versions) so that you can now see if you want/need to upgrade specific modules.

Released: 9/23/2007 2:05:00 PM

We're Live ! - BigYellowKey.com has now become a live system. There might be some teething questions/problems following its release, so if you have any questions/problems then please do let us know.

"I know where folder "x" is, and I know where folder "y" is, but I need to work out the relative path to get me from "x" to "y". How Can I do that?" - You can use the functions in this software to calculate that relative path for you.

Works with relative paths.
Works with absolute paths.
Works with browsing urls.

Click here for demo

More details:

For example, "I want to get from "../content" to "test/products", what's the relative path to do that?"

or, "I want to get from "a:/b/c" to "a:/b/d/e", what's the relative path to do that?"

For "x" and "y" folders, you can specify the relative path to "x" and "y", or you can specify the absolute path of "x" and "y". You can even supply browsing urls for "x" and "y".

It also includes a test file (the same as you see in the demo link) where you can experiment with different options to make sure it will return the correct values for what you need to use it for.

Click here for demo

Technical/Developer Information:
This is programmed in classic asp. It consists of a single file which you can include anywhere in your existing asp file(s) as a collection of library functions which you can then call from any of your asps which have the file included in its list of includes. No special server software is required; it's simple/classic asp; if your site can run asp files, then this will work.

Examples of situations where you might find it useful are things like:
1) Relative links in asp pages
For example, you've got a generic asp template file, and you want to code-up links within the file which point somewhere specific. You can use the functions to work out what the path is from where you currently are, to the file that you want to link to, and then use that in the link.
2) Creating "static" pages via asp.
This is where you've got a program which creates asp files (eg content files from content data), and you want to write include lines to that file which point to the right area, eg to add an include for: "../../mylib_inc.asp" where the ".." part of the path is calculated taking account of where you're creating the file from and where the file will be run from.
