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.

We would like a multiple choice field where we can associate a different picture (credential logo) from our file to each item. When members attain the associated credential, the picture (logo) would come up on their profile. Currently, our workaround takes up extra memory as we add a new picture for every credential for each member.

Current Example:

Member #1 CRS Credential (upload CRS picture to member profile)

Member #2 CRS Credential (upload new CRS picture to member profile)

Member #3 CRS Credential (upload new CRS picture to member profile)

New example:

Multiple choice field with picture associated (from WA file management)

Member #1, 2 and 3 have CRS Credential (check same CRS picture for each taken from WA)

Although a lapsed member is unable to register for member-only events online (this is good), the Event Manager or Administrator when adding an attendee manually (one who mails in a registration form for example) does not get any notification when adding an attendee that their membership has in fact lapsed, and they are not eligible for the event (this is bad!).

I had hoped to save all my Event Managers any extra work by telling them that when they entered the email address of the attendee, the system would not find them if they were not a current member. That only works in year one --- once renewals lapse, WA finds the member data but does not notify the manager of the members status as lapsed.

This means that for every attendee manually added to a member-only event, the event manager must take the extra step of clicking on the member name, clicking on Membership to see that the status is Active member. I don't see that working real well.

Please consider adding notification about member status when adding an attendee manually to an event via their email address. I'm OK with notification only if that's a quick fix --- not so concerned about blocking event manager from adding the lapsed member.

We need this before next August when our non-renewing members will lapse!!!!

It would be very helpful for administrators to have multiple options for viewing the Event list, including:
* by date/time ascending (next event first)

• alphabetical by event name.

We're managing dozens of small events each year and need to have up to six months' worth of events listed at a time. This would help in reviewing/editing upcoming events and in copying lists of events to e-mail messages, HTML newsletters, and text documents. The current reverse chronological order of the list forces me to copy and paste each event individually in order to get them in chronological order.

It's also frustrating that anything I enter in the Event List search box is gone and the entire list restored when I return to the list page after going to the event page I need to edit. Often I need to edit a block of related events, so I have to reenter the same search term in the box over and over until I find them all and get them edited. (Opening the event link in a new tab or window just defaults to the dashboard.)

This may seem like an odd request, but for those of us who design and manage multiple WA sites it can be a big deal. I am an administrator in probably dozens of WA websites, and sometimes I get emails from WA that say things like "Your Wild Apricot account..." or "upgrade your account..." or "...your website..." but nowhere in the email does it say which account/URL it's referring to. It's confusing.

I'd like to request that all emails from WA contain the account URL at the top of the email so that it is clear which one the email is for.

Thanks!

I'd like to see two changes to the invoice form:

1. allow changes to the item. the best way to do this would be to allow a pull-down so that the membership level (or whatever) can be changed. People do make those changes and this allows the change to be made easily and to have it connected to the financial transactions. Without this option, my experience has been that it's a convoluted process to change their membership level.




2. insert a quantity. Sometimes people want to renew for more than one year, and the invoice does not allow this.

How do you feel about these ideas?

When we started with WA almost a year ago, we made it clear that it was important to us to be able to process C/C transactions and that our payment processor was Elavon. We were told that Elavon support was expected to be included in your next release, and this was a major factor in our decision to adopt WA.

As we now know, your solution was based on the use of CRE Secure as an intermediary. Unfortunately, at our relatively low transaction volumes, this solution would nearly double our C/C processing costs, which is not feasible.

On the basis of what we thought was reliable information from you, we went ahead and adopted WA and are faced now with a commitment to provide online payments. It is our understanding that Elavon is the payment process of choice of a very large number of Canadian non-profits who must either be facing the same difficulty or have not adopted WA because of the lack of a practical interface to Elavon.

We urge you to provide, as soon as possible, either an appropriate technical solution, or a financial arrangement that makes practical the use of CRE Secure .

Thank you.
