What's the custom design experience like?
I have a client that's looking to build a new site with an integrated member portal/forum. I'm thinking of recommending WA but haven't designed for it before. Would love to hear from professional designers about the experience. Are you able to customize the layout easily? Anything you particularly like or dislike? Would you recommend building the site through this platform or would you go with something like Wordpress and integrate the member features through a plugin?

Page regions and tables are not ADA compliant
OK, so a company I am working for requested I assist in making their website ADA compliant - I could deal with the alt tags and titles code, but one flagged item shows up like this:
"Regions and ARIA landmarks identify significant page areas. Most web pages should have regions defined, particularly for the main content area."
I look at the source code, and these "regions" do exist, but somehow are obfuscated by something else. And how do I deal with this flagged item, "A layout table is present."?
Also "Missing Form Label" uff Wild Apricot themes are not up-to-snuff…

Allow suppression of text content as well as images.
Need separate controls for content gadgets for mobile view for each element. Margins, padding, alignment and image sizes need to be adjustable for mobile viewing.

More font choices in email editor
More font choices, please. Especially need a narrow sans serif and serif. The email font choices are so limited that it makes me want to go back Mailchimp for newsletters. As limited as Mailchimp is, it has better font options.
Give designers a break. We need more fonts.

Provide a way to merge or update theme overrides.
When I first created our website, I did so by creating a theme override based on an existing WA theme. When I tried to update my theme, I broke the website, apparently because WA had meanwhile changed things behind the scenes that were no longer compatible with some of my code in the original theme. Presumably the needed changes had been automatically made to my existing theme but were overwritten when I uploaded my changes.
It would save a lot of grief if a theme could be selectively modified by uploading specific files, instead of an entire theme.
It would…3 votes -

Social media gadget: How do I add "Follow us" text?
I am trying to add social media gadget to my website. When I drag and drop it to my website it shows all the social media platforms but does not show the "Follow us" text in front of it. I would like to add that text like one mentioned here https://gethelp.wildapricot.com/en/articles/433-social-profile-gadget but I don't know how to do it. Any advice?

file and folder structure
It used to be that I could make a folder for a current month's email bulletin and it would appear at the upper left of the file folders and stay there when I wanted to find the file or image I wanted. Now the folders sort in strange ways and I have to go find the folder I need when I want to use something. This is very awkward.

Redirect based on whether or not member is logged in
Is there a way to redirect a logged in member to a certain page? I created a Members page tailored to what is most important to our existing members. Our "Home page" is more of a marketing page for non-members. I thought that by setting "starting page" as the Members page for members they would go directly to the Members page when they open the website. That only works after a log-in action. If they've clicked the "remember me" button they go to the Home page. Essentially what I'd like the system to do is check to see if a…

Publish variables which can be used for conditional display
In general, visibility control in Wild Apricot is limited to the page level. Thanks to the helpful Wild Apricot support staff, I can now use the javascript variable "bonaPage_IsUserAnonymous" to control conditional display of page elements depending on whether the use is logged in.
Now I would like to have more granular control of displayed elements (e.g. <li> or <tr> elements) depending on group membership. I assume that this would be possible with a bit more knowledge about the data/variables available to scripts in Wild Apricot. Presumably these are already documented for the use of WA-internal developers. Why not publish…6 votes -
include text from a file
I would like to have a public page that will "include" text from a file that is either located on the server, or from an outside server. The use case is having some dynamic content that we can modify quickly (the included file) that is part of a page on the server. For example, the page might say "Here is a sample of most recent discussion" and then display the text from the include file. The include file is maintained outside of Wild Apricot. This is like a PHP "include" functionality.

Calendar gadget: prevent day-name line from scrolling off the page
On the Calendar app in Month setting, when scrolling up, the top line which contains the day-names also scrolls up and disappears. This confuses the users, who get confused about which column is which day. So I added a content gadget, inserted a table with 1-row and 7-columns with the day-name in each column. How do I make this gadget remain in its place on the page and NOT scroll up, or if it does scroll up, it does not scroll off the visible page, allowing the calendar passing up and down beneath it.

How do I remove extra space between columns in directory in mobile view external website
Yes, I'm new!
On the Wild Apricot version (and the widget) of the members directory there is extra space between the columns in mobile view - is there a way to remove the space between the <td>s in a row when viewed on a phone?
Here is the html for a row:
<tr class="normal" onclick="MemberDirectoryListRenderer.redirectToMemberDetails('https://sample.wildapricot.org/Sys/PublicProfile/50995854/4911773')" onmouseover="MemberDirectoryListRenderer.highlightRowAndNext(this)" onmouseout="MemberDirectoryListRenderer.normlightRowAndNext(this)"><td class="memberDirectoryColumn1" width="40%"><div class="memberValue"><h5><a title="Go to member details" onclick="globalUtils.stopEventPropogation(event)" href="https://sample.wildapricot.org/Sys/PublicProfile/50995854/4911773">Smith, Irv</a></h5></div></td></div></td>
<td class="memberDirectoryColumn2" width="40%"><div class="memberValue">Superintendent</div><div class="memberValue">IBM</div><div class="memberValue"><a href="mailto:irv@ibm.gov" onclick="window.location=this.href;BonaPage.stopEvent(event);">irv@ibm.gov</a></div></td>
<td class="memberDirectoryColumn3" width="20%"><div class="memberValue">333-3333</div><div class="memberValue">333-3333/div></td></tr>
Thanks for any advise!!!
