Allow teachers to block websites using Websense

[EduTech]

I have been looking around myself, google etc cant seem to find any thing there... you might find it hard as aint it designed so no one can "admin" it so to speak unless you go through the console.

i've got some web scripts that interact with ISA server. it wouldnt be hard to use them as a base to create a block site page.

all you need is a blocked site rule, and a form that adds urls to that rule. I got a form that adds sites to a rule to be allowed when the internet is otherwise "off"

make of this what you will

<form action="allowurlprocess.asp" method="get">
  <p>
<span class="style7">Input address here in the form <b><i>http://address/*</i></b> only [slash asterisk on the end is required]<br> <input type="text" name="url" value="http://" size="60"></style>
  
  </p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>

processing page:

<% sub processform()

    
	dim root
	set root = CreateObject("FPC.Root")
	
	dim array
	dim urlsetsarray
	
	set array = root.GetContainingArray
	set urlsets = array.RuleElements.URLSets
	
	set urlset = urlsets.item("tempallowed")
	
	url=request.querystring("url")
	
	urlset.add url
	urlsets.save
	

end sub %>

<% processform %>

teachers need allocated admin rights on isa but its never been a problem since they dont have direct access to the server nor the admin software. I dont think too many even understand the concept of a proxy.

Thanks i will give that a go.

Question stands that why don't you just copy the way you're doing it in your other school???

Or at least take how you're doing it there and modify it to this situation :S

Well we are using websense but the other school are using Frog to filter.
