Updated Feature - Toastmasters Printed Agenda Layout is Available

I looked more links on how to set background images in Chrome and NOW IT WORKS and the Club website URL now wraps properly.

I attached print screens of how to click to turn on background images in Chrome in case someone needs it.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience. It is all helpful. I know some users seem to get confused / frustrated with background images, so maybe I need to see if I do the masthead as a foreground image instead. It is just easier for me to put text over top of background image--that is the reason for it. Also, I was unaware of the IE11 lack of support for wbr--I may need to do a work around for that.

Ok, I fixed the word wrapping of the URL in IE11.

Added a black and white / grey scale version of the TM Layout.

In the sidebar, I like the TM link, but I would really like to have an option to put our club's address in instead of providing the club location link.

Hi Thanks for creating this new printing option.
I have a couple of issues with mine.
1) The txt on the left is too big or too much space in between officers as it prints on two pages
2) Perhaps if you raised the Date if would help that previous issue.
3) I need to be able to type in a Theme of the Day and a quote below the date so if you raise it; you will be
able to add this and I must be able to fill it in

Thank you!

Thanks for everyone's comments. Here are some things to think about:

1. My preference is to add options that can be used across multiple layouts. For example, the ability to include or exclude the meeting description can be applied to all layouts.

2. I may make exceptions to #1 for the TM Layouts, but my practice is always to try to implement functionality that can be used by *a lot of clubs* vs a few clubs. If you want to have a better chance of persuading me to implement some feature, you need to show how your suggestions can help a lot of clubs vs just yours. The magnitude of the potential benefit (in terms of potential number of clubs impacted) matters to me.

3. The TM Layout was modeled after the Word Doc Agenda Layout that TM provides on their website. As Brian has noted to me, it is just an "example" and should not be considered any more important than the standard FTH Layout. However, I wanted to provide some additional choices for the print layout, as I realize that is very important to many clubs.

4. Not everyone is going to be happy with the results. Some clubs have a print layout that is just very specific to their club. For those of you who are reading this and have the idea that we should just provide an editor for you to produce your own custom layout or allow you to pick an HTML file for that... I already considered that a long time ago. It would not be practical unless I gave you a variable for the entire block of agenda rows, and a big chunk of text for one variable which would present other problems. You *cannot* alter or customize the agenda rows at all... those are generated by the server code from a bunch of data in different tables--the agenda rows have to be treated as one indivisible chunk. I can style them a bit with class names, but most users are not going to be comfortable with class names.
