			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the updated version of the NanakShahi Date and Purbs Generator, version 1.1. There has been some changes in the script such as bug fixes and features enhancement, below are the details given:
<div class="spacer"></div>
<p><strong>Bug fixes:</strong></p>
<div class="indent">
	1. Repeated dates in the Purbs has been corrected<br />
	2. Dates generated were not correct, as they were using updating on every English months. This issues has also been corrected.
</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<div class="indent">
	1. Updates automation
</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
<p>As you may have already gathered that the purbs can have a different dates every year, so in order to keep the system up to date you will have to run the update script, by upening the &#8220;updates&#8221; from your web browser i.e. type www.yourwebsite.com/path/to/updates/ in your browser. Otherwise you may have purbs being diplayed probably on the incorrect dates.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>

<p>It may sound a little odd, but the feature enhancement was the key for this release. Now you can just run the update script in order to update the files, so you do not need to do things you did when you first installed this script. This process is fairly easy and allows the user to update the files with just a single click.
<div class="spacer"></div>
<p>The updat script first checks the version with this website as this is where all the updated versions will be placed. The script then tests the installed version with the version from this website and if there are changes it shows a button which allows the update procedure.

<p>Very flexible, you can edit the display style &#8220;CSS&#8221; so you can make it display look the way you want as the data is stored as raw.</p>
<p>For details download and read the ReadMe.txt and How_To_Use.txt files.</p>
<p><img style="float:left" src="http://www.gurunanakdarbar.org.uk/common/images/important.png" alt="Important Information" /><a style="position:relative; top:10px;left:10px;font-weight:bold;font-size:1.1em;" href="http://www.designsdeveloper.co.uk/blog/resources/nanakshahi-date-and-purbs-generator-v11-released/">Please go here for the recent release version 1.1 released on 07/01/2008</a></p>
<div class="large_button" onclick="top.location.href='http://www.designsdeveloper.co.uk/resources/NanakCalendar/NanakShahiDateandPurbsGeneratorV1.1.zip'">
<div class="button_tag">V 1.1</div>
<div class="button_action" id="download_now">Download Now</div>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.designsdeveloper.co.uk/contact/" title="Contact Me">Contact Me</a> if you encounter any problems!</p>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> Your server must support php</p>
<p><strong>Folder Content:</strong> Everything you need!</p>
<ul style="font-style: oblique; margin-left: 30px">
<li>index.php v1.0 14/06/2007 - Displaying the results</li>
<li>style.css v1.0 14/06/2007 - Display style for the data</li>
<li>bgorange.gif v1.0 14/06/2007 - Image used as the heading&#8217;s background</li>
<li>date.php v1.0 14/06/2007 - Date modification functionality</li>
<li>purbs.php v1.0 14/06/2007 - Purabs for the current Year according to SGPC NanakShahi Calendar</li>
<li>ReadMe.txt v1.0 14/06/2007 - For the systems explanation</li>
<li>How_to_Use.txt v1.0 14/06/2007 - Examples on the usage</li>
<li>punjabi_fonts.zip v1.0 14/06/2007 - 33 Punjabi fonts in total, install them on your computer!</li>
</ul>
<p>Below are the two examples using Short Tags i.e.  and Standard Tags i.e. , you can see both of them produce exactly te same thing.</p>
<p>Usage is very straight forward:</p>
<p>first extract the folder NanakShahiCalendar from the zip file in the directory where your date page is or will be residing, now include this line  at the beginning of the file you want the dates to display.</p>
<p>Than place this tag where you want the results to appear,  should print the date as 28th of Harh 539, also this tag  will also produce exactly the same output.</p>
<p>Below are the available variables that can be used to display related results:</p>
<p>Nanakshahi Date and Purbs variables:<br />
$nDate - Current date in the format &#8220;28th of Harh 539&#8243;<br />
$gurbani - Hukamnama of current month<br />
$gurpurb - Current Gurpurb<br />
$itihasik - Current itihasik purb<br />
$month - Current Nanakshahi month name</p>
<p>English Date and Holidays variables:<br />
$engDate - Current date in the format &#8220;Friday 13th of July 2007&#8243;<br />
$engHoliday - Current Holiday</p>
<p>As English calendar systems are available on the internet in many useful formats, I will not be paying much attention on this part. However I though that you might want to have this functionality within this system for generic usage.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.designsdeveloper.co.uk/resources/NanakCalendar/">Example Output</a></p>
<p><strong>Websites using it:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gurunanakdarbar.org.uk" rel="external" title="Guru Nanak Darbar">http://www.gurunanakdarbar.org.uk</a></p>
<p class="line" style="border-top: 1px solid #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; text-align: left; margin-top: 10px">If you would like to be on this thread, just submit a comment or use the contact form with your details. I will happily insert your details in the thread.</p>
<h2 style="padding: 10px; background-color: #ffa500; color: #000000; font-weight: 600">Also If I know you are using this script, I will definitely be informaing you about any updates it may need, So submitting your site would be a good idea, I think.</h2>
<p><strong>Features coming soon:</strong></p>
<p>- Listing Gurpurbs and Itihasik Purbs for the current month<br />
- Days remaining for the nearest Gurpurb (i.e. 5 days remaining for Guru Nanak Dev Ji&#8217;s Birthday etc.)<br />
- and many more.</p>
<p>If you have a suggestion for a feature please leave a comment or contact me, I will be ahppy to do any upgrades.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here it is this website has been launched at last, after waiting for wordpress integration which was needed indeed. So here it is the new design, this time it I decided to go a little bit more towards the Web 2.0 look and also for dynamic content generation. Now you must be wondering what sort of dynamic content, actually a lot of the times the content is editted through an editor such as notepad, wordpad etc. However it is much easier to update the content through a GUI system like Wordpress has.</p>
<p>Wordpress integration has allowed the possibility of changing the blog contents, and at the same time the &#8220;Recent Posts&#8221; section also gets updated with the latest 5 editted/added posts. The worpress integration using the same website theme was necessary for user friendliness, so I did it just for you people:)</p>
<p>Enough reading just look around the website and yes don&#8217;t forget to come back as I will be posting very useful stuff here such as code hacks/tricks, self developed scripts, last but not least time saving techniques.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>About:</strong> Merseyside Coucil of Faiths is a multi faith organisation based in Liverpool and is run by the community leaders of several faiths within the Merseyside.</p>
<p><strong>Specifications:</strong> They needed a whole new online identity to be able to distinguish amongst others, be able to display their plans to the public and educate the community about other faiths.</p>
<p><strong>Our Solution:</strong> The design of the website reflected the connection of faith with the organisation. A banner was designed to fit the needs of the identity which included a logo like structure as well that best fitted with the theme of the organisation. A completely different colour scheme was adapted for the faiths info pages to better suit the subject.</p>
