1: ANN: ad_form Quick Reference Sheet
Posted by Roberto Mello on 07/19/03 03:44 AM
Hi All,

I got tired of forgetting stuff about ad_form and where I saw it. Also, I wanted to see which parts were undocumented in ad_form, so I created an ad_form quick reference sheet.

It's made in OpenOffice.org's Drawing format and I welcome suggestions.

It's available at http://www.brasileiro.net/writings/openacs/ad-form-quick-ref.pdf

Hope this is helpful to others. Work on this was sponsored by my current employer, Deseretbook (http://www.deseretbook.com).

Oh, forgot to mention that as of a few days ago I updated, added more comments and documented all the fields and switches supported by ad_form to ad_form's documentation, thanks to my work on the quick ref sheet.

It's committed to oacs-4-6. I tried to merge to HEAD but there's a small code difference in HEAD, which I pointed to Don.
