Hello! It would be really helpful if we could edit the system generated 'Apply for membership' button that appears during event registration, when a user who isn't logged in is registering for an event that has member-only registration types. We were recently asked to edit one of these buttons, as they lead to the first PUBLIC page with a membership application gadget of the website and in this case that page was not the new member registration page that was being used by the organization, but a sponsorship application page. We couldn't make the change for them and had to just hide the 'Apply for membership' button.

Not sure if it is here already here, but an internal [post login] member to all members communication like a list serve is badly needed. Members can connect with 1 on 1, but a way to communicate to all members wo option in for members to members communications is needed badly!

• member logs in
• member selects send message to all members
• member composes message and it is sent to all members opted in to receive mass members communications
• messages can be flag to admin
• admin can set to moderate messages first before they send
• members must login to access, view, and reply to mass messages

Add a new attribute – something like “Enforce Uniqueness” – to the Common Fields setup window. It can be grouped under the Options heading just underneath the Required Field attribute. Users can tick mark the box or leave it unchecked. Then add some type of downstream verification check, ideally at the Dropdown List Level: When the user clicks into a field’s drop down list, check to see if Enforce Uniqueness is selected on that field. If Yes, compare the user’s selection from that list to the existing values for that field in the database. If there is a match (i.e., saving the selected value would result in a duplicate) then reject the entry and give the user a message like “The selected <name of field> already exists. Duplicates are not allowed.” Alternatively, it would be ok to check for duplicates when saving the contact data. WA is already doing field validation for Required Field during saving, so just extend that check for user fields deemed unique. It would be ideal to reject duplicates as early in the workflow as possible but checking during saving would also work.
ps. The creation of duplicate contacts is the biggest challenge we have with the system. We're a HOA, and since only the primary email is unique in WA, spouses and other family members are creating duplicate contacts with their own email addresses.

We had a member with a membership level of Individual Membership who requested to change her membership level to Tiered Members for 3 Members. We changed her membership level. Then added the other two members to that bundle. When we did that, the big yellow pending renewal box with the invoice link disappeared from the the two members added to the bundle. Although the membership tab still showed open invoices for those two members, it wasn't nearly as obvious to the admin user. It would nice if the admin user was notified that "current invoice exists, do you want to void existing invoice". Without good internal notes, it would have been some time before we noticed these outstanding invoices.

I'd like to be able to email everyone with a given registration type. Right now the "registrants" tab allows me to sort by registration type but not filter. There are several other filters though.

Example: Registration type 1 is general attendee. Registration type 2 is VIP. I can easily email VIPs to let them know where to go at the event to take advantage of their VIP status.

Current workaround: email all attendees and include info for each registration type (quick but inelegant) or export all attendees, filter in spreadsheet and then use another email system to send emails by registration type (time consuming and requires use of two other tools).

This is not per se a new feature or improvement idea, but more like a rant.

We have members from all over Canada and some even from across. We are using Wild Apricot for the membership management, and it works great. Once or twice a year we have an event such as a conference. We create the event and sell "tickets" for the event with Wild Apricot as well. To give you an idea, this year the event will be held in Ottawa, ON. It blows my mind that we cannot set the fixed 13% tax rate on the "tickets" we are selling, which by law we must do for the in-person conference. Right now we disabled the tax option in the event settings and manually added 13% tax on top of the registration prices, however this will generate more work for me in a later stage whereas registrants want to reimburse registration fees with their employers. Employers want receipts that include the tax rates etc. as well.

It would be great if Wild Apricot would add that option to the system as well.

To make it a little more difficult, due 2 Covid we offer 2 different types of registration. Just the regular registration where registrants attend the conference, which should be taxed with the tax rate in whatever province the conference is held. The other option is a hybrid ticket where registrants will "join" from their computer at home and for those we have to tax the rate of the province where the registrants are living.
