CF-Elearning Application
After hearing much crap about CF scalability problems and lack of developer power, I have decided to go with CF for developing my elearning application. It would release as an open source CF application on completion. I am inviting companies and/or developers to contact me directly in this regard for a copy of the requirements analysis for quote response. As always gurus, your opinions are most vital and welcomed.

RE: CF-Moodle- Elearning Project
Thanks for your input Scott! I would definitly look closer at Sakai, Moodle and ATutor. If you had to make the choice over againg which would you choose? Do you know of any other? Al -Original Message- From: Scott Pinkston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 5:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF-Moodle- Elearning Project I can speak to this as a person that built one from the ground-up in CF about four years ago for a college. We have been live on it exclusively since Fall 2002. From an institutional stand-point it has been great. Chat Room, Discussion Boards, gradebook, content manager, assignments, exams/quizzes (including importing testbanks - IMS/blackboard/webct), tracking, rosters, syllabus, course grades (mid-term & final) - SIS intergration, plus a bunch of local SIS stuff (billing/registration/transcripts/biographic updates). >From a maintenance standpoint, it has been a pain. Ego of I can build something to do all that aside - If I had it to do over today, I would use Sakai or Moodle and then build SIS integration into/for it. Too many good folks doing support on those projects for you to have to re-invent the wheel. All that said, I'll share the code that I can if you start your own. Some of it will depend on if your non-profit or not. The project as a whole is not open source but pieces of it can be. For the discussion boards - I'd suggest using Galleon - Ray Camden's Discussion Board. Visit RIAForge.com or his blog for Ray's stuff. Suggestions: On the flex, what is the connection speeds of your users? For me (flame-sheild enabled), I had problems with flash-based features for students on dial-up - about 60% of them were. On the decision, how many developers on staff? If it is just you, I'd seriously suggest using one of the open-source apps. Ego aside, it might be better for the institution. If you make your own, use one of the frameworks. Finding someone to quickly step in and help support it may be easier. Treat it like you are a contractor and try to get specifications from the faculty/institution. It has (and would have) helped me out a lot saying the faculty council/senate/institution approved this feature and its functions on X day. Get a trusted faculty member or two on-board. I have a raw-steak theory about bug/issue reporting. Most folks in a restaurant that get a undercooked steak won't say a word about it. They just make up their mind about the service and that is it.Yes - software testing will help but I'm talking more about behaviors (why do I click this to do that) than bugs. >Update, I am also looking at Flex.

CF-Moodle- Elearning Project
CF-Gurus, I have to opportunity to design an eLearning application and I am considering weather to build using CF from the ground up! Question: Is any one open to work on a project of the nature? I have looked at moodle (moodle.org) as an alternate solution since I am still in search of developers to undertake this development. I am hoping to get some suggestions on CF eLearning products that conform to eLearning standards like SCORM or any other for that matter.

RE: Force PDF Download
Thanks Matt.. Iwill test this method... Al -Original Message- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 5:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Force PDF Download Aldon, I have a tutorial on my site on how to do this, but just to be sure I ran it again in FF and IE to make sure it really works. Here's the base code: The intent of the above is to get a file to display inside of the browser, via the Acrobat browser plugin we (probably) all have installed. On IE 6 it worked great. On FF 1.0.4 the Acrobat plugin splash screen fired up but no display. Same failure across multiple attempts. Next, I changed the value of DisplayType to Attachment. The idea being you want the item to open not inside of the browser, but instead you want the actual Acrobat program to open up separately and display the file In FF this gave me the open-or-save dialog. Perfect. Same in IE6, where I chose Open and the Acrobat plugin loaded separately and brought up my file. It seemed in the beginning you were doing all the stuff I'm doing here. If so and you're getting an error I would look to file path problems, or naming the thing wrong. Also you have no space before your filename= parameter and I use one. Maybe thats it. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
