Glad someone asked! I have two ideas and was hoping to have the meeting next week, but at this rate I doubt it will happen.
1) Demonstration on installing/configuring the ActiveEdit (or similar) custom tags that make HTML/WYSIWYG editors available in a web browser. Then how to insert them into your CF programs, retrieve and save the data for later html display. 2) Discussion and demonstration of a system for sales reps to pre-engineer a material handling system. Website (for private use of sales reps) prompts for system design information, dynamically asks different questions, and then creates a parts list to 'build' the system. Parts list is saved in CF and then a Perl program running in Linux runs, calls an API for a product called PDF-Lib that will generate a PDF file on the fly. End result, sales reps have a 10 page unique bid proposal created on the fly. System uses the 'zlayer' attribute in HTML/CSS to layer html on top of graphics, JavaScript, perl, Postures (database) & PDF-Lib (www.pdflib.org) running on Linux. As it stands now, we have two possible venues (if available when we request it) A) one in an office in southern Overland Park with a capacity of about 10 B) the other our normal meeting space in the Admin building of UMKC (near the Plaza), capacity of 10 or 50+, room specific. I have not received confirmation of willingness nor availability for #1. I am pretty sure my employers would have no problem with me demonstrating #2 but would need to check. To all: Do you prefer 1 or 2, A or B, and if possible, next Tuesday or Wednesday. Please indicate if you intend to come if the topic/location/date would work for you, Thanks Ryan ---- To those of you who have not participated in our (usually) monthly meetings. For the past year+ the meetings have typically been informal with a planned presentation lasting 30-60 minutes and constant Q&A and side conversations during and afterwards. It is a great way for you to meet other local CF programmers, hear about projects, methods of coding and performing work, etc. The attendance has usually hovered between 4-10 people though I am attempting to raise this. ______________________________________________________________________ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.
