Our association runs an annual photo contest. The Album feature in Wild Apricot goes part way to helping us with it, but needs the following enhancements to reduce the external administration we must do today: Allow custom fields when uploading images and store info with image Submitter's Name (text) Email (text) Phone (text) Caption (text) Comment (text) Contest Category (radio buttons) Nature Life on Kahshe etc Agreement to rules and regulations (which would be on a previous page) Yes/No (radio buttons) Admin Flag each photo uploaded by a non-admin so it doesn't show until admin authorizes it Ability to show/hide custom fields when displaying gallery Want to hide submitter's ID info before judging takes place but show it after Other Store images under a pseudo file name to cover for situation where two users upload images with the same name (e.g. DSCN1000.jpg). Need to also keep original file name. Ability to limit the size of an image being uploaded (e.g. to 3 MB)

There are photo contest administration websites available, but the cost is prohibitive for small organizations like ours. This capability would be a great value add to Wild Apricot.

I have searched for help on this and not located any. I would like to be able to disable workflow emails but leave our organization eblast emails in place. I can understand why you don't want the member to be able to do this but I would like to.

When our members receive a renewal invoice and have elected not to renew, they often let us know. They may have a couple weeks left of their membership which would include several more renewal reminders they don't need. However, I cannot end those as a courtesy without stopping all their email, or suspending them early, cheating them out of the last days of online benefits. Since non-member contacts can still receive emails for as long as they want, this doesn't make sense.

The only work around I see is to note on my calendar to reinstate emails after their last lapsed/expired notice date has passed, which is cumbersome. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

With the introduction of the the new screen for Administrators to add people to their events, many are adding existing members as new contacts. I have had four of five examples of this. The reason I believe is that they do not notice the 'Select existing contact' button and go straight to the blank attendee registration form. We hardly ever add new contacts, so the set up for us is wrong.

My suggestion is that the screen be redesigned to make the Select existing contact more prominent. Ideally, in my opinion, there should be two buttons: the first, labelled Select existing contact' and another labelled 'New contact'

I would like to make a directory of just our contacts. These are the vendors/sponsors that we would like our members to reach out to and invite to our events, hit up for money, etc. But right now we can only have a member directory of members.

I would also like to be able to add lapsed members to the member directory. We have a regional and national network so not all the regional members pay the fee to be in the national network. However, I still want these lapsed members or contacts to show up in our regional member directory.

End users are quite used to check boxes for yes and no options. In fact they are ubiquitous. The same goes for Boolean variables. There are everywhere in the IT development world except in Wild Apricot. It's an undeniable waste of time for every new developer to have to figure out why they aren't there and find a workaround, and at the least an eye roll from end users who have to react to the strangeness of having to process a radio button in place of a checkbox, not to mention the extra (wasted) space it takes to implement it. It was a bad decision. Consider this a feature request for proper Boolean variables.

According to CASL rules, if you are a club, association or voluntary organization and the recipient is one of your members, you have implied consent. For non-members who register for an event, donates or subscribes to receive emails then there is implied consent which is valid for 24 months - after which you will need to obtain express consent.

There needs to be a way to create a saved search that includes contacts that have interacted with the site in the last 24 months. Currently there is no way to select contacts that registered for an event, donated, became lapsed, or subscribed to a newsletter within the last x months (perhaps just a simple"has complied consent" search criteria - there is already one for the express consent).

Ideally, there should also be a way to automate sending out the opt-in email after the 24 month period has passed for each contact.
