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 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.

There are many times that I need to send letters on our company letterhead. As a work around, I have created email templates of such letters that include contact macros that I use to cut and paste into word documents. An example of this is when we need to mail out a letter of remembrance to families of lost ones to receive a letter that a donation has been made in their lost one’s name. I have created an email template called Donation-Memorial. I would need to insert donation fields in this template. Is there a way to access or create donation fields to enter as macros on my email templates? Is there a better way to do this?
