Agreement/Contract Acceptance or Digital Signature
It would be great if there was some way to embed an agreement button (that would record a time stamp and IP address) or digital signature into emails so we can ensure that our members "sign" a membership contract each year. This is particularly important for annual renewals, since the renewal process is much different than the initial application process.
Alternatively, if there were some way to create an online contract that included an agreement or digital signature ability, that would be great too.
Currently, the terms and conditions field doesn't allow you to customize the language to each member.

Autoarchive function for Blog Posts
We use the blog function to post news items for our members and other site visitors. We currently have a very long collection of posts that should be deleted so they are not visible. It would be helpful to have the ability to select multiple posts at one time to delete or archive them all.
Alternatively, if there was a setting in the Blog gadget that enabled us to select 15/30/60/90 day autoarchiving rule, then these posts would automatically disappear into archive at the designated time. This would be a great help in terms of administrative time needed to otherwise delete each post individually.

Discount for Attending Multiple Events
Hello!
We have departments that would like to offer attendees discounts for registering for multiple events. Can you group the events so that when more than one is chosen, a discount is given? We think this would increase interest and attendance at our sessions.
Thank you!

Customize forum notification emails
I'm going to have a hard time getting people to subscribe to our neighborhood association forum vs the "next door" forum that has been building over the last year here. I'm attaching visuals for reference.
The wild apricot email summary is visually uninviting and instead of asking people to engage by hitting "reply" it offers them a chance to "unsubscribe" first.
It doesn't include a picture so it's not as personal as it could be and I don't see an option for people to sign up to receive every message in a forum as opposed to a daily summary should they choose to do so. Next door gives options to subscribe to every message or get a daily summary, or only view when you go into the website. In addition, once you reply to a message you get every message.
The email subject line isn't inviting either.
Is there a team working on this?
It would also be nice if there were easier options to upload logos to website templates/newsletters/announcements etc. Everything is designed around an organization replacing text to get their organization name at the top of something but I would expect that most organizations have logos.
Thank you.

Event Registration - Multiple Day Conference with Multiple Sessions
Allow participants to register for multiple session being offered at different times and with different registration limits under one event. These individual sessions may have different prices associated based upon membership categories.
Also please consider adding the ability to limit some of the add on items on the registration form. Some special items that may have an additional fee may be limited in the number that can be purchased and this is difficult to do if you have to check it constantly to make sure that you don't exceed the available limit.

Admin Privileges Report
I know that when editing a single page, that the version history shows who edited the page. However, it will only show who has actually edited the page, not the list of all those who have access to do so. It would be helpful to have an admin report that shows who has access to each page. Otherwise, you have to remember to keep a separate list somewhere of who has been given editing privileges. Adding new people is easy, but remembering to remove the ones that need to be removed is much harder :)
I can easily see how this report would be helpful for the other areas as well (e.g. event editors, membership management, etc.)
Thanks.

Age of member
We would like an Age field calculated from the Date of Birth as we use Age of a member in competitions where there are groups for Age x and above, etc.
This field could then be used for queries such as Age > n, etc.
Also, a further enhancement, Age on date X. Where we have a closing date for entry to Events and we need to know the member's age on that date.
Regards,
Keith

List of Past Events on a Calendar
I would like to see an option to limit the number of items listed in "Past Events" at the bottom of a Calendar page. Because of the number of our events, the list gets too long - yet the historical information is useful to our membership. Perhaps limit by number, by month, or by year. At the very least, by actual number.

Add website URL to all emails from WA
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!
Kim

Add Spotify and Soundcloud social media buttons
Our organization is a choir and part of our social media campaign involves sharing our playlists and our music. We garner followers on Spotify and Soundcloud and it would be great to have those buttons added to the Social Media gadget.

File Management Structure
When I look at File Management, such as clicking on "File" to view the contents, there are menu options that allow me to look at items as a list, and as several sizes of the items, allowing me to the options to see the filename or look at the item.
However, when I am on a page and want to insert a picture, etc. from "File", all the items appear as only a list. There is no option to view the items as such in order to select the correct item to insert into the document.
Please, in the "insert picture" or "insert document" please include the menu selection to view the list or to view the item. Just include the same functionality you already have. Thank you.

sort membership levels on membership level change form
We can now manually sort membership levels on the new member application form so we no longer have to use numbers to get the various levels in the desired order. However, if a member wants to change membership level, the levels on that form are not manually sortable. If you want the levels to be listed in the same (logical) order on the change-membership-level form as on the new member application, you still have to resort to the old number system, which pretty much negates the value of the spiffy new manual level sort "feature".
Please make the level ordering tools in the new member application and the membership level change form match. This inconsistency in functionality is troublesome.

Change UI for "Date" Field Type - show separate year, month and day selection
In developing a membership registration form for our website, I am looking to include a "Date of Birth" field. However, the "Date" field type appears to only allow one method of entering a date. In our organization, there are many members who are older, and for whom the date entry requires navigation to their respective year of birth, which presents difficulty due to the method of data entry, and the propensity of our older members to be uncomfortable using computers.
(Admittedly, the calendar default of starting on today's date does lend itself to certain types of fields, like booking hotels or flights.)
It would be more intuitive and easier to use a method of entering data into the date field using three drop-down menus, like "Month", "Day", and "Year." I suppose I could do that myself by creating those 3 fields, but that opens up entry errors, like somebody entering "February 30" as a date, for example.
I recommend that the Wild Apricot team considers implementing an option such as the one I have suggested; it seems to be the more common method of entering dates into electronic forms, and would ease the burden on less-experienced users to navigate an unfamiliar date selection format.
I would love to hear what other users have experienced when utilizing the "Date" field in forms, if they have had difficulty, and what they have done to address user feedback in using it.

Make number of places left visible on event summary
Now that we have more control over the ability to limit the number of places available for registrations, it would be good to be able to display this information on the event page.
Currently, you see how many places are left as part of the registration process (incidentally, I have had some people advise that this is somewhat confusing as its not clear that the number of places left are not including the current registration - so I have had people contact me not sure if they're registration was successful on account of it saying 0 places left while they were registering), but it would be good if you could choose to have that information visible near the registration types - this would allow us to create a sense of urgency for the event and potentially encourage more people to register and maybe even to register earlier :-)
If this is implemented, I think it should be optional as to whether you wish to display it or not as I realise that having it display by default will not suit everyone. Perhaps something like the following in terms of available display options:
* Display available places for each registration type
* Display total number of registrations
* Do not displayThanks!

Year End Donation Letter
Provide a button on the Member's Profile page which allows a member to download/print an annual donation letter. The appearance should be designed by an administrator. The button should indicate the last year for which the data has been generated. Administrator should have a function where after all the financial data has been completed for the previous year, the button is made active for the most recent past year.

Add option to exclude guests in limit count
We want to create a events where we limit the number of teams, but not the number of total people.
We have a regular ticket price and a discounted ticket price, so we set a limit on the total number of registrations, but currently this includes guests - we don't want to include guests in the limit count.

Calendar picker when schedule event emails

credit card fees to be paid by members
Our members love being able to pay their membership dues by credit card. However, our biggest gripe with the payment systems that apricot supports is that there doesn't appear to be a way to give the credit card processing fee to the member, rather than our company. Since our membership costs are very high ($36,750), these small (~ 3.5%) fees really cost us a lot of money ($1,286.25), and it would be very helpful if we could pass these fees back on to the member.
For example, if there was a way to allow members to manually enter in the amount they want to pay by credit card (including the 3.5% fee), rather than automatically having to pay the full invoice amount (less the 3.5% fee). I know Intuit QuickBooks allows the members to add the fee to their payment, but Apricot doesn't support intuit quickbooks online payments.

133 votesMany thanks for your comments and feedback in this thread - it was super helpful for us in analysis and design of the feature.
I'm happy to announce that we're working on adding donations to compensate payment processing fees. This feature will be released later this year.Some design decisions I wanted to speak out explicitly:
1. We decided to proceed with optional donations to compensate credit card processing fees as opposed to surcharges/convenience fee.
Main reasons for this is that there are too many regulations around mandatory charges to compensate fees: it's illegal in some countries/states, there are caps on how much you could charge, etc. To avoid all of this legal complications we decided to suggest members to opt-in to compensate processing fees, as opposed to make them obligatory.
All these transactions will be recorded as donations in WA and can be later used for tax deduction.2. You will be able to set the amount of donation based on amount of payment (e.g. 2.9% +$0.3) based on your average transaction fees.
Reason for this is that it's technically almost impossible to calculate amount of fee before transactions is done - there are too many variables in place: currency conversions, cross-border fees, different fees for credit card brands, etc.Thanks again for you support, votes and feedback. We really appreciate it!

Event registration require approval
I would like to have a checkbox on each event registration type -- similar to what's available on membership levels for new membership applications -- so that I can choose to require admin approval to register for certain events. Once the admin approves a registration, then the payment is immediately processed, same as with membership approvals.
