Add and manage xml sitemap for SEO
Bing, Yahoo! and Google all recommend a site map be submitted to their crawl services in order that URLs on a website are brought into their crawlers' awareness. Otherwise the bots generally rely on quantity of cross linking from other sites and for many of our members this is very hit or miss — resulting in many member page never making into SERPs.
We would greatly appreciate some mechanism for adding and managing XML site maps for all, or better yet, specific pages of a WA member site.

--
TO ADD A SITEMAP.XML to a WA SITE:
Create a new folder under file mangement called sitemap.
Then upload your site map to this folder.
Sumbit your site map to Google, it will look something like this yoursite.com/resources/sitemap/sitemap.xmlA good place for free google sitemaps is:

Scholarship Application Management
Our non-profit provides multiple scholarships throughout the year- we take applications from students, early to mid-career professionals, and professionals nominating a mentor.
Currently, we are at a loss on how to best create these. We have been using the events section, but it seems to be confusing the people who need to fill out the application.
It would be nice to have a module dedicated to Scholarship Application Management with the ability to require that someone be at a specific membership level to apply.

Email macro for Organization Contact Name
It would be good to be able to specify an "Organization Contact Name" under Settings->Organization details. The "Organization Contact Name" could then be a macro that could be incorporated into emails to members, so that we could say something like: "If you have any questions, please contact {Organization Contact Name} at {Organization Contact Email}." It is nice to be able to let people know who they will be contacting -- it's not so nice just to give them an email address to contact without a name. Of course, we can write a person's name into each email without a macro, and that's what we're doing now. But that defeats the whole idea of using macros, and means that we have to change the emails every time there is a change in the person who should be contacted.

Bundle membership pricing
Current behavior:
Bundle membership pricing policy is is not flexible - administrator can only setup memberhsip fee and bundle limit. No way to setup pricing based on number of people in bundle.
Desired behavior:
Add ability to admin to set pricing policy for bundle memberships.For example, we receive feedback from our customers:
- "...It would be much easier to have a quantity field to compute the number of members for billing... People select the number of members to include in the bundle. The system calculates the invoice amount."
- "...Group memberships - would like a system that allows multiple registrations, can figure the discounted rate based on the number in the group and apply the proper rate automatically, rather than the up-to-so-many for $X system. It should also allow us to record the name and contact information for the group administrator or secretary, who may not be a member of the group.
For example of pricing for group membership
Group of 5: $60 per person
Group of 6 to 10: $55 per person
Group of 11 to 15: $50 per person
Group of 16 or more: $45 per person

Show new messages / comments since last login
Our forums are languishing because our members say there's no easy way to tell what conversations are active. We need a search function at the top of the forum that includes things like:
-recent posts
-active topics
-unanswered posts
Basically, the forums need a major upgrade in order to be useful. The only reason we haven't moved to a different forum software is because we want to maintain one login for our members.
Thanks.

Provide a way to change membership level during renewal
Current Behaviour
During membership renewal a member may have more than one membership level available. Choosing among them is cumbersome. The member clicks one button to renew at his current level or clicks another button to choose a different level.
Also, changing the membership level doesn’t act like a renewal as regards calculation of the Renewal Due date. Desired Behaviour
Use one button for both functions. If multiple membership levels are available, show “Renew and choose membership level” on the “Renew until …” button. This would give the member a choice that looks like that on the membership application form.
The membership Renewal Due date would need to be calculated based on the level that was selected, since different levels may have different renewal periods.
An option may need to be added to the membership level renewal policy to prohibit member self-service level changes, which would prevent the Change Membership Level button from showing on forms. Why
We have in the past only offered an annual membership (Regular). We have now created a three-year discounted membership as another level (Regular – 2011 3-Year Deal). The process for a member to select the new level is too cumbersome and confusing. First, he has to know another level exists. Then he has to use the Change Membership Level button instead of the Renew Until button. If he chooses the Change Membership Level button, the Renewal Due date is calculated differently that for a renewal (it’s based on the current date at the time of the level change).

Show address field in Member Directory
Is it possible to have 5 fields in each column on the Search results layout?
This would enable a member address, city, state, zip and country to be in one column, rather than split across 2 columns.
~~ or ~~ can we add the city, state, zip to be one field ?? that would also help solve the address from flowing over two columns.
We currently publish a paper member directory and would love to get away from it by having it available here.
thanks a bunch,

Mandatory email in Bundle Memberships
When a person is added to a bundle membership, I want to make it mandatory that there be an email address.
Without the email address, I see no way for that person to be able to logon.
I understand that it used to be mandatory and that the decision was made to change that.
If nothing else, the end user/site admin should have the option to make it mandatory.

Automatic web archive of email blasts
Our membership would like the ability to see archived e-blasts sent to "All" members. In our membership model, all members are "equal." I could see this further broken down by Group, e.g., members belonging to Board group could view archive message sent to their group; e-blast sent to "all" members could be view by "all" members, etc. Also, having the ability to show messages sent within a certain time period, e.g., messages sent within the last 6 months (rather than messages archived forever).
Even better, have the ability to search e-blast message text by keywords much like the forums. The search results would need to take into account whether the member searching is authorized to see say Board messages. It might be easier to simply offer search for messages sent to "all" members.
I am guessing another function page devoted to e-blast archive viewing/searching would be necessary.

Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a big deal for UK charities.
Official description: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/ManagingMoney/GivingMoneyToCharity/DG_10015097
Generally, the way it works is that when a charity asks for a donation, they also ask the donor to tick a box to enable the charity to reclaim an additional tax element from the tax authority (if the donor is a UK tax payer).
Combined with a date field (which Wild Apricot doesn't yet provide!), we administrators could create a report/search query to pre-fill the relevant form to submit to the tax authority for the reclaim.

Access Guest information in macros
We register members and guests for our events. We need to get to all of the guest information easily online in WA without having to export it for manipulation.
How come there is no macro for [EventField_All} for guest registrations? Right now all we can do is get to guest price, name, and price.
We need to send our members confirmations of their event registrations that include a lot of detailed information. The members need all of this information for the guests, too.

Member Directory: Disable access to profiles
Several of my clients have multiple directories on their sites. On certain directories (not all), they would like to be able to prevent visitors from clicking on an entry to view the member details/profile screen. On other directories they do want visitors to be able to click through.
It would be nice if there was a simple checkbox on the Edit Settings screen for directories that could be checked to turn off/on the link to the profile screen for all entries in a particular directory.

Customizing Donation receipt - adding previous donations
Is it possible to print all the donations given by a donor on one receipt with dates. Right now we can only print one donation given per donor on one receipt. I was also wondering if we could add all the donations and put in a total donations given for year.
Thankyou,

Ability to change sort order on the attendee list - published view
I know this has been talked about before, but it looks like it was just on the admin side.
I am wondering if there is a way to sort the attendee list that is published for general members to see.
We tend to have about 800-900 members register to attend our events, and would like the list to be sorted alphabetically so that people can easily search to see if their friends have registered. It is currently sorted by WHEN they registered.

Email Subscription Widget
Welcome the new email subscription form page. But it would be great to be able to present this as a Wild Apricot widget in any desired website page, as with rest of Wild Apricot widgets. Many membership-/social network-based websites have a quick and easy sign up widget/box on their main pages. Hope to see this as a Wild Apricot widget soon! For you Wild Apricot website administrators, please endorse this with your comments below.

Customize event attendee list - both public and admins sides
Is it possible to customize what information is shown on the Registered attendee list that people can click on in event registration?
Specifically for our purposes, our trade show exhibitors can apply for their booth space through the event registration system. Rather than date and name, I'd like the list to show company name, products and website.
Thank you!

Block Comments entirely/hide "add comment"
As I stated in the wishlist thread for Job Modules, I had originally hoped to use the blogs module to manage our jobs postings, since they're relatively infrequent, and since it has an RSS feed, but at the time it didn't look like the "Add Comment" could be shut off, and we definitely don't want comments with job posts.
I went back and revisited this, and when I switch all the possible visitor types to 'Read', the 'Add Comment' is still visible to the public. I can log in as a member, type out a comment, and click the button to add it, and only get blocked at that point.
I get the generic message:
This makes sense in the logic of how the blog module is set up, but for my purposes doesn't work. "Add comment" being visible always invites comments. It seems better to me to have its visibility determined by user type and if it's allowed to comment.

Functionality to generate physical letters
My organization is not going to go entirely digital. I need to generate the occasional physical letter. The idea is that in addition to being able to generate ad-hoc emails, I want to be able to generate ad-hoc physical mailings. But they are not really ad-hoc; they correspond to points in my organization's processes that do not map to WildApricot. I want to store templates for these letters in WildApricot; when the need arises, I would like to be able to ask WildApricot to instantiate a template I pick for a member I pick. I can do the printing and phyiscal mailing myself, I am just looking for a bit of automation in producing the formatted text of the letter (using macros to automatically populate the letter with the right information).

Communications tracking (CRM)
I am posting this suggestion based on email exchange with a client - so that we can get more feedback from others.
Even though we don't normally refer to Wild Apricot as a CRM system, it has many things in common with CRM:
database of contacts
tracking of various transactions with each contact
the suggestion is to take this further:
Add 'Communications tab' to track all communications/actions with each contact: contact date & contact type, follow-up date & type, a note, tracking of emails (opens, links) and links to related correspondence records (email blasts). Among other major benefits, the system could be used for service and sales (fundraising) tracking and reporting, including the all important “tickler file”.
Add Outlook integration: include a copy of Outlook (client) inbox and sent items in the communications history for each member, to provide a complete picture of correspondence.
I would appreciate input from others.

Update Event fields via file Import
Hi
It would be great to store user feedback linked to the user and event.
I've created a custom event field called Feedback. Now it would be great if I could import the feedback collected via Wufoo via file import.
This would mean I could export the data from Wufoo, and import here, instead of having to enter each entry manually.
Many thanks!
