Hello and thank you for this wonderful website! I really like all the functionality that it provides for Toastmasters clubs.

My suggestion/request is in regard to the template system for printed agendas. I would really like to be able to reproduce my club's printed agenda layout and information. I have the technical skills to do so. Would you consider the possibility of a user created template for printed agendas?

Thank you,
--- Keith

At this time we will not be adding any additional templates.

You can copy and paste either of the current resulting agendas into word and modify them how ever you wish.

Doing a user defined print template feature is not as simple as you may think which is why it is very unlikely to ever happen.

We are pulling data from multiple tables to produce the agendas and printouts.... What you see is the result of quite a bit of processing. Not so simple to just open it up for custom layouts.

I may do an Excel agenda dump or a JSON data dump at some point, but that is about as far as we may ever get to some sort of custom layout feature. Don't hold your breath though... I do not see this as a high priority.

I'm am quite pleased with the two main print agendas that you guys have put together, but it would be helpful to have the information in both put into the same report, i.e. to have the header of the FTH report and the left side column of the TM reports included in the same report. For our club, we include our weekly theme in the header, but at the same time, I want everyone, especially newbies, to have the left-side column's information in front of them so they are as informed as possible about our club.

Would that be a major undertaking to combine the two or make those items optional by checkbox?

I have thought about doing some sort of hybrid layout, but again, not a high priority at the moment.

Just as an idea, we also like having the meeting theme printed on the agenda AND the officers listed on the left side. We added an agenda item called Meeting Theme that prints with the other roles.
