We would love for Wild Apricot to provide a seamless transition and a more optimal user exerpience. We tried to integrate our website with wild aprioct so we created a wild apricot event link on our personal website. When the user clicks on it they are expecting to register for the event. What is happening is that they register and provide their personal information (member application form for first time users who are registering) and after that it doesn't continue on to register the person for the event. It confirms the profile data and stays on that screen. A more optimal experience can be provided by mirroring what some others (like Eventbrite) do.

I'd like to rename the thread, or perhaps it should be a separate thread?

Enhance Payment Report to separately total Manual Payments and On Line Payments as it did before

Or perhaps it's a separate thread --- the more I think about this, the more anxious I'm getting about our event management with this new report! This is going to make our event reconciliations much harder for our event managers. The old Payment report immediately displayed the total dollars paid via check (manual), and made sense to the event managers. Manual payments are all the event managers are responsible for collecting. The on line payments go directly to the bank (Paypal for us). I hate to think of our event managers having to do MATH or export to excel to make sure the Payment report matches the checks they have collected for an event. And the Treasurer can then also easily see by event what the on line revenue is in Paypal.

I hope others chime in with the same input so that we can get this capability back ASAP!

This is a relatively minor request but something I find to be a workflow pain. As an admin, when I add a new member to the database the new member activation email does not automatically get sent out to the new member if I set their status to 'Active' initially. I have to add the member in two steps to get the email to go out -- first add them as 'pending', save it, then either go back into their record and record receipt of their payment or change their status from 'pending' to 'active' to trigger the email.

It would be nice if I could just add the member as "Active" and check a box or something when I'm to cause the activation email to go out, all in one step.

I manually entered about 200 new members this way this year b/c our organization has old-fashioned manual registration forms in addition to the online registration and many people prefer the manual form. Each one took me about 2-3 minutes to enter because of the two-step process. It adds up.

Our premium level members are looking for a better set of tools, essentially to use their profile pages as a marketing tool, to make membership more value-added. For example, they are used to higher end features available from http://psychologytoday.com . Obviously, this is not as high end a system, but for a wish list, and to make paid membership a value, these desired features are very relevant.

Member requests:

--custom URL's allowing us to list the member name in the url--or some automated option to do so, without having to manually create a redirecting page for everyone.

--SEO

--web stats: the ability for members to view, in their own profiles, some basic web statistics and analytics of views on their profile page.

So far I am very impressed with the WildApricot CMS, it's features and usability.
But I feel that the built in Email Log is lacking some features:

1) Function to delete individual entries from the log (Administrator only)
2) Function to clear the email log for individual categories (Administrator only)
3) Function to clear the entire email log (Administrator only)

An added advantage would be if the administrator could assign privileges to other users for deleting entries/clearing the email log(s)

Also relating to the email log, it would be advantageous if the log entries would display the date/time when an email was opened and a link was clicked.

These simple additions would improve what is already a great system.
