Your Gigbuilder Availability Checker is a form on your website and the dates were inserted at the time you created the form. As you may have an older code, tere are two solutions for making changes:
Option 1: Delete the form, then copy & paste a new one
Login to Gigbuilder at http://www.gigbuilder.com and click Web Tools > Forms > Availability -- copy the option you want and paste it into your site -- we make sure the dates are updated annually automatically.
Option 2: Edit the Date Checker form on your website
Use FrontPage to open your web page. Inside FrontPage, click on the YEAR field and you'll see a bunch of values. Simply change them to whatever you want. For example, you might have 2007 2008 2009 as the three values. Change them to 2009 2010 2011 2012 etc. And save the page.
If you want to modify the raw HTML, look for something like the following:
|
<OPTION>2007</OPTION> |
Change To:
|
<OPTION>2012</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2008</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2013</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2009</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2014</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2010</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2015</OPTION> |
And save...
Note: Some website editors remove the javascript from the code we provide in option one. In this case, you will have to manually update your site each year. You'll know this to be the issue if your date checker is missing the years when you publish it to your website. Here's what to look for:
|
<OPTION><script>document.write(theyear);</script></OPTION> |
Change To:
|
<OPTION>2012</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION><script>document.write(theyear2);</script></OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2013</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION><script>document.write(theyear3);</script></OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2014</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION><script>document.write(theyear4);</script></OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2015</OPTION> |
|
<OPTION><script>document.write(theyear5);</script></OPTION> |
|
<OPTION>2016</OPTION> |
