Indicating in member directory which members have photo albums
Would be nice to have a way to put a link on the member's directory entry. Right now, the only way other members would know there was an album is to open each profile - and that's not going to happen with our members.

Highlight lapsed members in event registration admin screens
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!!!!

Allow multiple online payment gateways in one WA account
(Re-posted and edited from post below)
We have 2 organizations, one that manages the membership and the other our tax-deductible contributions. As such we have 2 different bank accounts and therefore need 2 different payment gateways. We're signed up with authorize.net, however there's only one global setting in WA for online payments. If it were possible to choose a payment method, for instance one for membership and another for donations, that solve the problem of having to set up 2 WA accounts.
For now I've set up 2 accounts and am working with the widgets. This is a good work-around, however the members will need to fill out 2 different profiles and they can't view all the information in their accounts at once.
Update: The donation form widget sort of works from one WA account to another. However, the event widget works perfectly! I set up our sponsorships as events and pasted the code into the main site. It looks great.

Color-format events based on event tags
I'd like to be able to have just one calendar, with different event tags displayed differently, like in a different color or style or size. Currently I'm using two different calendars, which is a bit awkward. What do you think?

Multiple, separately customizable donation forms or Donation campaigns
My organization runs different campaigns a year targeted towards different groups. We need several versions of the donation form, however WA allows for only one. Plus, some of our campaigns are sponsorships, not donations, while others are underwriting opportunities. We also need the ability for our members and friends to sign up for more than one level of sponsorship at once.
Some of the donation forms would be used on the public site, while another is just for members.
Is this a possibility for future releases? So far I have my organization sold on WA, except for this little snag.
While I'm begging, we have 2 organizations, one that manages the business side and the other our tax-deductible contributions. As such we have 2 different bank accounts and therefore need 2 different payment gateways. We're signed up with authorize.net, however there's only one global set up in WA for online payments. If it were possible to chose a payment method, lets say one for membership and another for donations, that would so cool. I'm sure this is next to impossible because every non-profit I consult with has the same problem when faced with having 2 bank accounts.
For now I'm working with the widgets, which is a good work-around, but my members will need to fill out 2 different profiles and they can't view all the information in their accounts at once.
Thanks so much, love the platform and hope my board votes for it tonight. Wish me luck!

Tracking message sent to registered members from visitors
"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!

Installments / Payment plans for events and memberships
Could Wild Apricot users offer their members an introductory trial rate for, say 30 or 7 days, followed by, say quarterly or six-monthly payments to spread the cost over the year?
That is very helpful during a recession, when many WA website users will find revenue dropping as their members cut back. To be able to spread payments looks very attractive to new prospective members: four quarterly payments of $10 is much easier on the budget than one payment of $40.
The introductory trial could be free, or at a pro-rata cost for 30 or 7 days. During the trial the member can cancel and either pay nothing (free trial) or pay just the pro-rata cost (low-cost trial). If he doesn't cancel, the next payment kicks in and is renewed automatically for each period chosen.
So a typical membership trial would look like one of these:
Free 7-day trial. Then $10 quarterly until cancelled.
$3.00 low-cost trial for 30 days. Then $20 every six months until cancelled.

Purchase of concurrent subscriptions e.g. have members on multiple levels
Create an option to allow a member to maintain two or more concurrent subscriptions for a paticular site. This is useful if you running a site and selling a subscriptions for information.
An exmaple of this is that I run a site that sells repair information. A customer signs up and then can choose to signup for Automotive Repair for $50 or Airplane Repair for $100 or both for $150. We need to keep the infromation and forums seperate and only limited to the actual subscribers.
My understanding that we can only have levels of a paticular membership, not concurrent memberships.

114 votesConcurrent membership is not something easy to implement - it would require fundamental redesign of how membership works in WA. However, I have couple of thoughts here that I wanted to hear your feedback on.
As I understand, there are 2 sides of the problem:
1. Collecting additional dues for services. E.g. Member is associate and board member, so you need to collect both dues.
- This can be addressed using our extra fields functionality. Maybe it's a bit clunky, but it should work. E.g. setup associate member as primary membership and add extra charge checkbox for being a board member.
- You can easily filter down any members you need with advances search by that extra field.
2. Setting correct permissions on website pages - here there's no workaround we could suggest, but adding permissions based on saved searches seems to feasable option.
Am I missing something? Will the suggested approach work for your setups

Ability to use date range for date-type fields
The database column "Renewal Date last Changed" is essential when we need to send out membership cards and other new member items.
I produce member cards twice a month - once for the first half and then for the last half of the month. Any time on or after the 16th of the month I extract all those with a renewal date of the 1st thru the 15th and then after the first I extract all those with a renewal dated of the 16th thru the 31st.
Given the current tools, this is a tricky selection that requires two criteria - everyone whose renew date is greater than or equal to the 1st of the month AND less than or equal to the 15th of the month. There is a different set of criteria for the last half of the month. Also, these searches cannot be saved since next month the dates have to be changed to reflect the new month.
This process would be greatly simplified with a pair of new search criteria :
Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day X and day Y of this month.
and
Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day X and day Y of last month.
I would use option 1 on the 16th of the month in the form
"Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day 1 and day 15 of this month."
and after the first of the next month I'd use option 2 in the form
"Select all members with a "Renewal Date last Changed" between day 16 and day 31 of last month."
Users who send out weekly member cards could set up additional ranges for whatever dates they are interested in,
Also, these searches could be saved and re-used each month since the terms "this month" and "last month" are based on the current date and are always meaningful.

Advanced options for event registration types pricing
We are finding the we would like to have sub-registration items available under main registration types. Hopefully, other will see a need for this. Here is what we are looking for.
For instance, we set up an event and want to offer a exhibitor only pass as a registration type, however, we want to charge a daily rate for this pass. So similar to how the registration form "multiple choice with extra cost" function works, we would like the registration type to work the same way as follows:
Exhibits Only Registration (no price listed)The user would select one or more of the sub-category items listed. This same logic could be use in many different ways, for instance, a registration type called Full Registration could have a sub-category called student rate and a non-student rate. The possibilities are extensive and would help make the registration process much cleaner.
Under the current design, we would have to set up three different registration types to get the same options as what we want above. This make the registration process unreasonable because of the excess list of alternatives attendees have to filter through and figure out which one works for them. The only other option under the current design is to set up a "free registration type" and then set up the registration form with a "multiple choice with extra cost" option; hoping the attendee can figure out that because they picked the "free" registration type that they also need to select one of the extra cost options on the next page in the registration process. Really confusing and difficult to figure out under the current design.
It would be great if the design used for the "multiple choice with extra cost" logic used on the registration form pages could be moved over to the registration type pages so that the same logic could be used to simplify the event registration process. Hope others see this as something they would like to use and we can get this on the roadmap.

Member Certifications / Achievements / Courses
Hi,
Great software – life just got easier ;-)
If you’re looking for new things to add then my suggestion would be something for Achievements/Courses. Basically they would work a lot like events except they go against a “Member’s Achievement History” (new concept).
So, some of the function points might be:
· New Functional web page type with a Page Template of “Achievements Calendar”
o Access to Selected Groups
· Achievement Settings
o Achievement E-mails
§ Email Event Triggers (Registration, Approval, Rejection – to Member and/or Mentor/Trainer, Achievement End Date – to Mentor/Trainer)
· Achievements
o Add Achievement
§ Registration Types
· Availability
o Selected Groups
§ Mentor/Trainer (New)
· Select Member
· Register
o Add to Member Achievement History with Status of Pending
o Add to Mentor/Trainer Approvals Section
· Achievement Confirmation
o On logon and after the Achievement End Date, prompt Mentor/Trainer to approve pending Achievements
§ Approve, update date and status to “Achieved” on Member Achievement History
§ Reject, update date and status to “Not Achieved” on Member Achievement History
o Logon Links
§ “View Approvals” underneath “View Profile” (only for Mentors/Trainers with Approve/Reject buttons)
§ “View Member Achievement History List” (only for Mentors/Trainers – see Members point below with the ability for Mentors/Trainers to “Save” their own searches, the list would be filtered to only those Achievements that they are a Mentor/Trainer for)
§ “View Achievements” (only for Member)
· Members
o Member Achievement History List
§ Allow same functionality as per Member List except Level will be Member Group as opposed to Membership Level
This would really round out what is already a functionally rich product. Most of the above are just extensions of existing objects, the only really new object is the Member Achievement History.
Regards,
Richard

Event Registration / Donation form to update contact profile
I noticed that the contact fields automatically get loaded to event registration forms which is a nice feature and saves the user time when registering.
I'd like to request that updates made to contact field information by individuals who are "recognized" users of WA be back loaded to their permanent contact record.
For instance, if someone sees an error in their contact field information (like mailing address) while registering for an event and they update that field (like their mailing address or phone number) while registering for an event, I'd like that change updated to their permanent contact profile record instead of just getting saved with the event record.
If you add this function, it would be a good idea to add a warning message as they page through the registration form to ask "You have made changes to a profile field, do you want those changes to update your profile?". Then given them a yes or no option. Yes means you allow the update to the profile, no means the change only gets stored with the event registration form as you do now.
Hopefully other will like this idea and encourage this to be added. I would anticipate that end users would think that an update made while registering for an event would carry back to their permanent contact file record, when in fact it is not. It would be a nice capability. We will see what other say.

Need to limit Group Participation field access by membership level
When editing membership fields, we cannot set the membership levels that the "Groups" field applies to. We can edit any other membership field of type text, and we can say it applies to certain membership levels only, but not for the field that has groups. We have a new membership level that is for "Friends" of our organization, and they are not eligible to join groups. We don't want to mislead them. What to do?

Provide reporting on member logins
I'd like to have the ability to get more data on recent logins. Currently, the dashboard displays "most active members" but I think a "recently active members" feature is equally if not more useful. I'd also like to be able to see more than just the top 5 results for these categories.
I think this would be beneficial for monitoring campaigns or promotions. Right now we are trying to get members to use the features of our new site or just log in at all, so if we put together a promotional email, for instance, "The top 5 things you can do on the new website" then we could see how many people logged following that promotion.
We do have google analytics installed, but I think this would be more targeted.
Also, I'd like to easily see who hasn't logged in recently or at all to target members at risk of leaving our club.

Free trial period for membership
I would like to offer a free trial access period for all payment levels. Rather like Wild Apricot does, but not necessarily for 30 days. Paypal offer this delayed action payment and it works very well. You can choose how long the free trial period is, and then the payment automatically kicks in.
Asking people for money upfront puts a lot of people off.
