I want to be able to print the agenda for the next meeting without having photos in it. Right now, the photos are automatically added.

George Garrett wants to “print the agenda...without [member] photos”

I concur. When the agenda is printed from the website, the member photos are unwanted and result in a waste of space on the page.

As things stand, our club does not use the “Print Agenda” feature, because the result is so unsuitable for our use.

I would also like the option to remove the photo from the agenda printing.

Especially since members have trouble uploading their photos in the landscape dimensions.

Check out DARTS (Dave Aronson's Role Tracking System). A demo is available at http://www.davearonson.com/darts/darts.html -- in particular, see the Printable Agenda section.

I agree, I'd lke the option to print the roster without photos. We only have photos for a few members, so it looks like of funny when we print an Agenda with only 2 or 3 roles having photos next to them. Since I can't make the Agenda print without photos, I am going to have to go through and delete all the photos instead.

Dave,

I would like to give you an extension to DARTS which I have written. I really like being able to print our meeting Agendas including speech information, but we also like to print our meeting Themes, announcements, and notation of scheduled absences on the Agenda.

I wrote an additional function, and added a little bit of code (actually not very much) to the DARTS.JS file which provides the capability for including three keywords in the meeting notes on the Duty Roster, "Theme:", "Absent:" and "Announce:". Text in the meeting notes following these three keywords will then be used to substitute for $THEME, $ABSENT and $ANNOUNCE in the agenda template. If multiple members enter these keywords in their meeting notes, the items are combined for inclusion on the agenda.

I thought about making these items configurable in the config file, but did not do that yet. I do have some thoughts on how it can be done.

My modified script is posted at http://jimrobison.org/toastmasters/dartsJCR.js

In the script, I preceded my added/modified code with "// JCR" and a note so that you can quickly locate my additions by searching for this string.

I explicitly give you permission to add my code to your DARTS, if you choose to do so, for the benefit of Toastmasters clubs.
