Hi there,

We would appreciate it if you could support a South African payment gateway natively. While 2checkout allows credit card payments in ZAR, it does not allow for Electronic Fund Transfer payments, which all the local payment gateways do. For recurring payments, some of the local gateways also allow for debit orders, which we also need.

At the moment, we are planning to integrate into PayAll (which has discounts for NGOs) using the WA API - but this is a bit of a hack and it would be useful to have WA support one or more local payment gateways natively.

Unfortunately, PayPal does not support payments in ZAR in South Africa, and it supports EFTs from only one bank at this stage, so it is not a complete solution (though it is available).

Thanks for your help!

I thought it would be good to have a "Member-focused SEO" category here, because there are several SEO-related features (not 301 redirects) that my client's members have requested.

Since switching to WA 4 months ago, there has been some attrition of members because more and more, people are seeking better SEO placement through membership organization websites. Their biggest motivation in joining is for the public to be able to find them.

Specifically requested features:

--Customized URL's for publicly viewable member profile pages (so we can include member or practice names in the URL)

--SEO index (.xml) *including member pages* and member directory, in addition to site pages and public blogs.

--Integrated web stats with access to usage on member profiles. I.e. - how many views/visits on a member's profile page, search terms used to find member, etc. This is to be competitive with other high profile membership directories, e.g. Psychology Today.

Can such category be created, and should I post for each of these separately there?

Many thanks.

Is it possible to have someone put information in one field of their contact record and then have that information automatically fill in another field?

For example, on our website we are asking for City and ZIP code. Considering how poorly some folks spell the name of their location, I have a drop-down listing of all the cities/towns in WA state. I also have the ZIP code that is assigned to that city. I'd like people to enter only their ZIP code and then have the website automatically enter the name of the city based upon that ZIP code.

I have a third party program that does that, but not sure it cold be used with WA.

Thanks,

I would like to be able to have custom filters for all Filter check boxes. For example, I would like to see only this year's donations, or members who joined last year, etc.

Ideally the filters would all use the same SQL logic/fields, and be available for all or just selected lists (e.g., [Last Name begins with 'G'] would be available for all filters, while [Donation greater than $1,000] would only apply to the Donations section).

I also imagine a grid maintenance view, where all custom filters are listed from top to bottom and the various sections are columns from left to right. Any filter that is not technically possible for any section is shaded out, and the administrator can select and de-select any of the available filters with a check box.

WISH LIST: with EVENTS I would like a solution to make it possible to place a "widget" of a single member's events on their own website. In other words, if we have say 500 members in total as an example, specific members could have this widget to display events on their website of ONLY their own events they have entered on our website (or by tags if they want to include other member events as well, but first things first).

This could be a serious win win situation as it would help Wild Apricot clients (all of us) with a viable selling point of why to renew their annual dues (as they are using the calendar on their own website and administering it through their login through our member site) and it also provides them with an easy to use calendar to replace their own current calendar (if they even have one, which most people don't).

My wish list $.02 worth, but I think it would benefit us all to add another component to strengthen our own online communities.

"Send Message" feature is great feature that we requested for about a year and we eventually got it this August. Thanks very much for that!

Now we are looking for an additional feature to that:

We really want to track how many visitors ahve sent message to our registered members - we want to track the lead that our website generated to our members - a number to attract more new members for sure.

When visitors send message to the member, we would like to receive a copy of the message - it's that simple.

We think most of WA websites will need this feature too.

Please put this on your to-do list.

Vote for this feature if you want to track the leads that your website bring to your members!

I use the Member List Summary page all the time to keep an eye on current membership numbers, but I would love to see an added column that shows how many members have renewed in the last 7 or 30 days (in addition to the "New In Last" columns).

Because we have a large number of lapsed members in our database, the "New in Last" columns are not always helpful to me on their own, either in terms of giving an accurate idea of recent membership activity, or in easily finding a lapsed member who has recently renewed. An additional "Renewed in Last" section (or even a combined "New/Renewed in Last") section would give me a much better high-level view of overall recent activity, and I would imagine that would be true even for organizations that do not have a large number of lapsed members in their database as we do.

As currently configured, a member who renews during the grace period retains the same renewal date, incremented by the membership period (1 year in our case). But if they are lapsed, the renewal date bumps forward to the payment date + 1 year.

We would like to have all overdue and lapsed renewals bump forward to the date they pay. This is an issue for us because we are generous with giving people a fairly long grace period (60 days). It seems unfair that someone who renews 59 days late still has the same renewal date the next year, but someone who renews 61 days late gets their date extended forward. I understand the logic for why it is set up the way it is (members retain their privileges during the grace period), but we would like the option to change this behavior and have all late renewals bump forward.

Our current workaround is to edit the renewal date forward manually, but we would like to have an option in the renewal policy to do this automagically.
