I am not thrilled with the way invoicing and financial transactions, including multiple payments and refunds, show under a member's record. It can be a little disjointed. It would be better if it was listed more like it would look in an accounting software as a full transaction list. For Example:

10/27/14 - Invoice - Membership Renewal - Silver Level - $200
10/28/14 - Payment - Membership Renewal - Silver Level - $200
10/28/14 - Invoice - Newsletter - Monthly Newsletter - $100
10/29/14 - Refund - Membership Renewal - Silver Level - $50
10/30/14 - Payment - Newsletter - Monthly Newsletter - $100

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.

Any page personalization or links to other sites with user identifiers as URL parameters is very complex because this info is only available on the user's profile page and has to be scraped from that page. This results in some very convoluted javascript with cross page dependencies. Also, whenever Wild Apricot changes the format of the profile page, the custom javascript will break.

Can you please add input hidden tags with some key user profile values to every page:

* UserID

* UserName

* UserEmailAddress

like:

<input type="hidden" id="UserID" name="UserID" value="12345678" />

<input type="hidden" id="UserName" name="UserName" value="Joe User" />

<input type="hidden" id="UserEmail" name="UserEmail" value="joe.user@domain.com" />

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 have been using a jQuery content slider called "bxslider". This however is now causing the "My Profile", "Invoices and Payments" to not display anything. As a workaround I am using the Wild Apricot Slideshow Gadget. I am taking the texts I wish to display, and saving them as a png file via Power Point. Maybe not the most efficient, but I need something up in a hurry and this worked. A big disadvantage of this method is that you can not have a link in the text, and not very scaleable.

I would like to suggest that Wild Apricot develop a gadget, similar to the Slideshow gadget, for text item. Need one that can display multiple lines of text, links, and possibly pictures. Should also be able to format the text individually, not as a whole, select a background, select how long a slide is visible, how fast it transitions and what type of transition. I'm sure there are a lot of other "options" (as can be seen by looking at bxslider) but this is a good start.

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.
