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. Customers from the EU (but outside the UK) who have a valid VAT/Tax number do not pay vat. Customers from the EU (but outside the UK) who do not have a valid VAT/Tax number pay VAT.

New Software Vendor! SQLInjectionScanner.com (a sister company of BigYellowZone) is now using the BigYellowKey.com site to distribute anti-hacker tools and other products/services which site owners will find very useful. Visit SQLInjectionScanner.com for more info. If you previously bought the BYZ "hack checker", then check your my-software screen to grab the latest update; it has now become the "SQLInjectionScanner.com Scanner" and the new version has lots more features. A data cleaner is also available, as are check/fix services.

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.

BYZ005 - Panel Splitter for VP-ASP

<< back to previous screen

Use our panel splitter to split your site into separate panels, and use
our panel splitting test utility to see how it all looks with different
options - Get your whole page structure up and running in a matter of
minutes without having to change any of the horribly complex panel-html
code that youd otherwise need to build.

Compatibility, Bundling, and Status Notes:

Compatible with VPASP V4.5 to V6.5

add to cart

Try out the demo versions that we've setup on our site to get an idea of what we're talking about:

Demo1
Demo2
Demo3

This version for sale also includes optional separator lines (not shown in the demo versions) horizontally and vertically between the various panels; this is a notoriously nasty thing to code correctly, so we've done it for you!

It works with any flavour of ASP, and any version of VP-ASP. As no database connections are used for it, it'll also work with any database that your VP-ASP cart uses.

It comes with the VP-ASP header/trailer files that you'll need to use it, and full instructions on how to plug it into your VP-ASP site.

It also comes with a set of the panel files that you can use which mimic the default VPASP 5.5, 6.0x, and 6.5 formats, so you can upload the relevant sample files straight to your site and instantly be using the panel-splitter without having to paste any content, and then you can just adjust the content accordingly afterwards.
For VP-ASP V6.5 users, instead of forcing fixed widths it allows you to use any width you want and defaults to stretching right across the page.

Technical/Developer Information:
Almost every website on the planet uses the same basic underlying panel structure - this is where your site has the appearance of frames, but is in fact just a single page (just like our site). It's a great way to split up your pages into separate panels without stopping search-engine spiders from being able to trawl through your pages, and where site users can still scroll up/down the overall page without having to tweak individual frame scrollbars.

Panels are great, but they're surprisingly awkward to get just right, and the panel HTML code ends up incredibly complex and needs to be perfect in order for your pages to be properly formatted. And making changes to panel-HTML code, well, that's a truly revolting job that takes ages without having something like our panel splitter !

Using the panel splitter means that you can put your menus and logos and other links/features in shared/common files and then just have them automatically included in all your asp pages. So, your main asp pages end up just being your pure central contents, with the panels wrapped-around automatically with your preferred margins. It hugely cuts down on maintenance time/hassle.

So, save yourself all those endless days of HTML-frustration and let our panel splitter do all the work for you !

Just choose which panels you want to show, set your config options to your required sizes/margins/backgrounds/alignments, paste in your contents, and then that's it !

Why spend years trying to tweak/correct some really nasty HTML code when you can just set a couple of values in your config options and be up-and-away in 10 minutes ?!

Extensive instructions are included, with many hints and tips and explanations and examples; you don't need to have any HTML or ASP knowledge to use the panel-splitter; it's all done and explained for you.

But, for the developers out there, the ASP code is all structured in a way that allows you to add/change/use any of the logic in an easy-to-understand way and the functional and panel structures are documented fully as part of the technical documentation that's provided.

The default panel structure is as per our site (top, left, central, right, bottom), but you can switch-off whichever panels you want, and you can also put the entire panel-structure inside the overall browser window with gaps around the edges if you want to.

We've found it massively useful; we now use it for almost every site that we do work on as it saves so much time and trouble and is so reliable.
