Web Site Gets Better Violation Letter Option

A while back I added an option to generate a Violation letter via the Staff web site. But it did not offer any flexibility. The user had little control over the format and content of the letter. I think I have improved the process greatly. You can demo the new letter option from any Violation record screen in the Staff web site. Clicking on the "Violation Letter" button takes you to a screen that lets you construct a letter several ways. You can click on the "Generate Full Letter" button to generate the complete letter is one move. A major improvement though is that the letter is now presented to you inside of a editor -- a simple word processor that lets you change anything about the letter before you print it. Another improvement is that instead of generating a complete letter you can build it in sections. There is a drop-down box that shows the sections currently available and a "Add Section" button to append each choice to the current letter. Each section is just a predefined piece of the letter such as the greeting or closing, etc. As of now we have enough sections to generate a complete "ordinance" version of the letter and "resolution" version of the letter. As we get feedback from users we can add more sections. A third button called "Add External Paragraph" adds even more flexibility. This button has an accompanying drop-down box that lists any text files stored with the web site. These text files can be appended to the letter just like the sections. This is an easy way to set up a library of custom text files for each customer to add to different letters. So now you have multiple ways to construct a letter and the ability to edit the letter directly throughout the process.
