Please help urgently.
How does the Search Interface actually work?
I am new to the Zoho Developer community, I have a background in scripting although HTML is not my strong point at all. I am trying to create a Search interface and am following the relevant Help options that Zoho have available (https://help.creator.zoho.com/Creating-a-Search-Interface.html and https://help.creator.zoho.com/Create-HTML-Views.html) but it is getting me absolutely nowhere. The templates they have available in the HTML views are so confusing and I am just stuck! All I want to do is
How do I see if a date range falls within or overlaps another date range?
I'm trying to make a school register. The teachers need to be able to print off a weekly sheet which shows on what days each student will be attending. Technically, I think this boils down to seeing if one date range (the period of the student's attendance) falls within another date range (the period of the register - these are needed weekly). Any help from anyone on how to do this would be greatly appreciated :)

URL Syntax for subform with multiple arguments
I'm trying to define a function similar to the "Add Attendance," except I want to pass two arguments - one for ID (which works fine by itself) and another one for date (which also works fine by itself). When I try to combine them together in one URL statement, I don't receive any error messages when I save or execute the script. However, neither field passes to my form. This is the URL statement I've keyed: openUrl("#Form:Add_Distribution?Transaction_Date?Transaction_ID" + input.date + "" + input.id

I am new to this and will need more explanation than I am getting so far in the available sites. Thanks!

Embedded view suddenly not working
I have many html views containing list views embedded as div-tags. I have not touched the code of my app for weeks but suddenly some of these views do not work anymore. What happens is that the criteria is not applied propperly (no records are listed) and the header is shown (despite the tag "zc_Header=false"). Here's an example: <div elName='zc-component' viewLinkName='Player_Entities_Embedded' params='Player_Name=<%=recP.Name%>&zc_RecSelect=true&Player_op=26&zc_Search=true&zc_AddRec=true&zc_DelRec=true&zc_Header=false&zc_Footer=false&zc_DuplRec=false&zc_EditBulkRec=false&zc_Summary=false'>Loading

What is a better way to accomplish this?

Deluge Code 'include file' - containing fields that are common to a number of forms

Formatting email submission so it appears correctly in Zoho
I've figured out how to submit records to my zoho application using email. These are emails I am forwarding. The problem is now formatting the email so it doesn't show up as garbage in Zoho. I've found that changing the text encoding on the email to Unicode (UTF-8) will eliminate the problems with reading some characters such as apostrophes ('). It appears the submit data by email function reserves the colon (:) for identifying the fields that I'm using in the form. My work around is to replace

I was wondering if there could be a way to link 2 applications i.e. App 1, let's call it Contacts, and then App 2, let's call that Hobbies, so in Contacts I would add all of the contacts and their info... so in Hobbies i can access Contacts and find a name then select the name and add a list of hobbies.

Automatic Time Refresh upon new entry
One of the applications we are using with Zoho is a Call Log. The date and time of the call are logged in. Is there a way to set the form so it automatically updates or refreshes the screen with the correct time when a new call entry is made? Right now, the person has to manually refresh the screen every time a call comes in, sometimes they forget to do that and then it throws our records off because our work is time sensitive. Thanks.
