Thanks Rick and David for setting this up.

I can do a brief demo on Views Attachments.

UberPOS

last call media's picture

Kinda short notice... but if there is interest, I'll demo UberPOS.

You can check out UberPOS here.

We are implementing it at left-click with a hand scanner, receipt printer with a draw kick, and a cash draw. There are special commands that would be sent from a programable keyboard, or just typed in and entered.

Thought you'd be interested,

That would be great Kelly, go

Can I hook my laptop up to that big screen? DVI or VGA... I guess I'll bring both.

Pretty sure both will work

Hey there,

Pretty sure both are available so you should be all set either way.

Can show a couple of things if time permits

David.Hamilton's picture

Hey folks,

If there's time and interest I can show a couple of things we worked on this summer:

1) An ereserves system for showing library reserve items to students that allows librarians, faculty and academic staff to add reserve items to courses, built on Biblio module and MonsterMenus

2) A course scheduler tool that allows students to browse the curriculum and build proposed academic schedules as part of the registration process, then share them with their advisors. A lot of custom code built on top of Date. This one has a public face (searching only) which you can see here: https://www.amherst.edu/course_scheduler
