1. Links to external sites as Menu Items

   Currently a menu item has to be a WA object (content page, event listing, forum, etc.). If I want to link to an external website (your national organization for example) or even a specific event registration page as a menu item, you have to create an empty content page and use JavaScript and/or a meta tag redirect to send the user on (See this help page for additional detail: http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Redirecting+a+page ).

   It would be great if you could enter a url for the menu item rather than this kludgey redirect process. This could also be accomplished through implementing a http 301 redirect that has been proposed to in some other posts, but again this is a somewhat kludgey solution.

4. Simplifying embedding videos

   I've started putting video on our website, and I have to go into the HTML and embed the code. This can be a pain when I don't know HTML almost at all, and the code from youtube looks different than some other site's code. In fact I did try to put a video up, and the section of the site was blank for a bit, till I got help from Chris at Nicasio.I also had problems putting video in the blog section.

   So it would be most helpful to have some tools to more easily embed audio/video files. You really shouldn't have to go into the HTML to do it.

   Thanks.

5. Ability to close site to public/member access for maintenance procedures

   We will need to export the entire membership list and purge many listings with undeliverable email addresses. It will then take a brief period of time to delete the existing list and upload the corrected one. Is there some sort of "Temporarily Closed for Maintenance -- Please Try Again in 15 Minutes" procedure for this?

   WA replied "Unfortunately, we do not have this feature. For now, you would have to do this either at night or earlier in the morning. But this sounds like a good idea and I would suggest to add it to our Wishlist so other people could comment and vote for it." So here it is.

6. Easy way to insert links to system pages like member profile pages

   I could really use an easy way to link a member's name to their directory profile. I have a lot of pages where I list a committee chairperson's name or an officer's name as in "See Sue Smith for more information." and I would like to put a hyperlink on 'Sue Smith' that takes the user straight to Sue's directory profile so that the user can find her contact information.

   Right now, the only way I've figured out to do this is to log out as an administrator and log back in as a member. Then go to the member directory and find Sue Smith's profile. Then I copy the URL of this page to the clipboard or into Notepad if I have more than one profile URL that I need. Now I log out and log back in as an administrator again. I go to the place where I want the hyperlink, highlight the hyperlink text, click the Link button, and paste the profile page URL there. Pfew. That's a lot of back-and-forth just to get a directory link.

   As an admin I can do this, but our average members who update content on the website would never figure it out.

7. Accessibility Features (Section 508)

   Would like to request accessibility features to be added to the site's templates including:

   FORMS:

   Add label tags around the form's labels, and associate the labels with their form fields using IDs (explanation: http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/screen_reader.php#labels)

   Group form controls using fieldsets and legends, where appropriate (explanation: http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/screen_reader.php#group).

   NAVIGATION:

   Add a "skip navigation feature" to allow keyboard users to skip over the navigation menus, when they are tabbing thru links on a page. (explanation: http://webaim.org/techniques/skipnav/#focus).

   These features would make the sites more accessible to disabled users (people who cannot use mouse, blind people using screenreader software, etc) and help make them more compliant with the US government's Section 508 guidelines.
