Answer: I'm sure you could write a stack to do that. Some people could
do it easily; for me , it would be a whole new learning curve, because
that's just not the kind of thing I've ever tried to do with Rev.
So here's what I'd do .... (and in fact, am in the process of doing, in
a slightly different context):
1. build a simple stack that captures an image, collects choices from
comboboxes, etc.
2. have a 'submit' button which gets enabled one they have made enough
choices
3. the submit button would upload the photo and their choice data to a
web-server
3a. the .irev (or CGI) script on the server would save this info to a
folder of uploaded photos, etc.
4. I'd collect all these photos and associated info and put it into my
own stack.
(and maybe also, 4a. run the matching games on the web server)
and almost as a by-product you could also do
5. have the web-server script provide a web page with the same
choices/comboboxes, and a button to choose an existing image file, and
upload that as form data. This would mean that if someone had trouble
with the player or stack, they could still submit their info from any
browser.
As I said, I'm in the process of doing this for my own project, so if
you're interested in trying that approach, let me know and I'll send you
the scripts/stack that I finish up with).

I have a difficult time with new names and faces. We have quite a few new
teachers and therapists this year so I plan to make a photo data base of their
image, name, job and school(s) they are assigned to.
I'm planning to build a simple stack that will allow them to capture a still
from a live camera shot and select their positions and schools from comboboxes.
It will be tough to do this in one meeting. They are spread throughout the
county.
I hope to email each of them a one card stack, run by the player, not a
standalone. They would then email the completed one-card stack back to me.
Question: If all the stacks were re-numbered and put into a folder, is there a
script that could combine all cards into one searchable stack? If so, I can
develop some fun matching games to help me learn their names and faces.
Thanks,
Bill
