Task list for Organizations
Current behavior:
All organizations have tasks tied to recurring deadlines (pay taxes collect dues, etc). Specific people need to be apprised and reminded of these deadlines, and need to have the ability to designate the task as having been completed. At present, the system provides no way to assign and follow up on these tasks.Desired behavior:
A task system that allows administrators to create a list of tasks and define due dates, recurrence, and either a member or a group with member(s) assigned to it to complete the task. Alerts can be sent to the member/group as the date approaches, or if it is not completed. When the task is completed, it can be checked off and all dates on it are reset.Note:

Allow to customize blog post summary (teaser) size
Web space is a premium and managing the space is a vital element of more content. Currently posting a blog posts text up to 10 lines and offers the read more option. If we can limit the opening post to a more concise presentation to say 5 lines or less it forces us to be more content rich with our opening line and we can register more read more clicks. The strategy is not to tell too much in ten lines, but just say enough in 5 lines or less so our users are prompted to read more.
I hope this makes sense and others can appreciate a short catching message instead of telling too much and a user doesn't click read more.

Improve interface for adding people into Groups
When you go into membership settings - group managment - manage participants -
You can pick a group you want to edit the participant for that group. You have two lists on the left hand side you have the list of participants for that group, on the right hand side you have a list of all members so you can quickly add new members to be participants of that group. All good.
My suggestion is to have a drop down box with a list of data base fields above the right hand box (all members list) then you can pick a database field (custom ones as well). next to the dropdownbox (data base field) you have a text box to specify what you want to search on in that field. Then a search is done and the list below is now a list of specific members you can add to that group. Making life easier.
Reasons for use could create a group for peopleliving in a certain city, etc.
Now to make it even more fancy you could add filter capacity too it. By adding one of those + by the right hand side you could add more searches so you caould search on 2+ fields.
What do people think? hope it goes down well as a new user I hope I am on the right track. Loving your work WA like the new page managment.

Prorating Membership Level Upgrades
Copied from another discussion -
Discount coupons discussed here are only for new member applications.
What you are talking about is prorating the membership payment when members change their level - applying unused membership fee and/or reducing the new fee if new membership level is not for a full period. We are working on this - it would be great if you could start a new thread on the wishlist forum to explain how you would like to see it work.
How our org would like it to work -
Ex - level a - $35 annual fee and level b - $50 annual fee
If a person joins at level a and somtime during the year decides to move to level b, then the software would figure the difference (50-35=15) and charge a $15 upgrade fee. No change occurs to the renewal date. We would like a user defined comment that pops up prior to the transaction being completed. For example, in our case, prior to the person committing to the upgrade, a comment like
"This upgrade will apply to your current membership period. It is not prorated or refundable. Your next renewal will be at the $50 level b annual rate.
If you are near to your level a renewal date, you may wish to delay your upgrade until after your level a renewal."

Renaming buttons on the forum for replies and new threads
I have noticed that every time my forum users start a brand-new topic, they do so by adding it as a comment to a previous topic. I'm sure this is because the New Comment button is the only one they see as they are reading through the forum (unless they go back a page, which they don't know to do).
I would really like have a New Topic button on that page, too. I'd also like the "New Comment" button changed to Post Response which I think makes more sense to users.
Thanks! -Bradley

Ability to close site to public/member access for maintenance procedures
We will need to export the entire membership list and purge many listings with undeliverable email addresses. It will then take a brief period of time to delete the existing list and upload the corrected one. Is there some sort of "Temporarily Closed for Maintenance -- Please Try Again in 15 Minutes" procedure for this?
WA replied "Unfortunately, we do not have this feature. For now, you would have to do this either at night or earlier in the morning. But this sounds like a good idea and I would suggest to add it to our Wishlist so other people could comment and vote for it." So here it is.

AutoResponders for new members
How about the idea of automated responses when someone signs up to become a member. Right now there is no opt-in, no "thank you" message, no nothing.
Ideally, I'd like to setup a series of e-mails that go out at a certain frequency to new members (unless they opt-out).

Enhancements for Groups functionality
In our 2.36 update we have released Groups functionality - ability to organize members into groups - such as 'Board of Directors', 'Volunteer Committee', etc. These groups are independent of membership levels - one group can include members from different levels. These groups can be used to keep track of member participation in committees, restrict access to website pages to a particular group, or for advanced searches and emails. Seehttps://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Member+groups
We are contemplating a number of possible further enhancements to this and would love to get your feedback.
Here are our initial ideas:1) Group moderators. Group moderator is a member of group who does not not have any WA administration functionality but can add/remove members to group.
Note: To do this it will be necessary to let group moderator access the full list of members and member details.
- Should moderator be able to send mass emails to group members?2) Administrator role with web editor access limited to particular group pages.
Current functionality allows you to setup account-wide web editors and group-specific read access to web pages. This enhancement would allow you to assign a web editor in a particular group - who would only be able to edit/create pages in that group.
- Is this the same person as group moderator in 1)?
- Should this person be able to add any functional - or only content pages?3) Group-limited events. (And probably an admin role to add/edit group-specific events)
4) Administrator role with member record edit rights for a particular group. This can come handy if you are using groups for chapters.
5) Ability for people to apply to groups during the membership application process - with workflow to review and confirm their participation in a group.

Add Boolean logic to Advanced Search
It would be nice to be able to search the member database (or any database really) by specifying criteria such as:
Renewal_Due on or after Sept. 16,2008
AND
(MembershipLevel = Gold OR MembershipLevel = Silver)
Right now, I think, I can only choose to AND (i.e., Match ALL) all the criteria or OR (i.e., Match ANY) all the criteria -- no mixing AND's and OR's. This is okay for very simple reports with only two criteria, but often not what is needed for reports with more than 2 filter criteria.

Easy way to insert links to system pages like member profile pages
I could really use an easy way to link a member's name to their directory profile. I have a lot of pages where I list a committee chairperson's name or an officer's name as in "See Sue Smith for more information." and I would like to put a hyperlink on 'Sue Smith' that takes the user straight to Sue's directory profile so that the user can find her contact information.
Right now, the only way I've figured out to do this is to log out as an administrator and log back in as a member. Then go to the member directory and find Sue Smith's profile. Then I copy the URL of this page to the clipboard or into Notepad if I have more than one profile URL that I need. Now I log out and log back in as an administrator again. I go to the place where I want the hyperlink, highlight the hyperlink text, click the Link button, and paste the profile page URL there. Pfew. That's a lot of back-and-forth just to get a directory link.
As an admin I can do this, but our average members who update content on the website would never figure it out.

Default setting for forum email frequency
It would be useful to have a global setting for the default forum email frequency -- immediate or weekly. If this is not feasible I think that the default should be weekly. Many members object to
receiving too-frequent emails.Gary

Accessibility Features (Section 508)
Would like to request accessibility features to be added to the site's templates including:
FORMS:
Add label tags around the form's labels, and associate the labels with their form fields using IDs (explanation: http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/screen_reader.php#labels)
Group form controls using fieldsets and legends, where appropriate (explanation: http://webaim.org/techniques/forms/screen_reader.php#group).
NAVIGATION:
Add a "skip navigation feature" to allow keyboard users to skip over the navigation menus, when they are tabbing thru links on a page. (explanation: http://webaim.org/techniques/skipnav/#focus).
These features would make the sites more accessible to disabled users (people who cannot use mouse, blind people using screenreader software, etc) and help make them more compliant with the US government's Section 508 guidelines.

SEO enhancements - 301 Redirects
As per our e-mail exchange, we'd like to request the ability to do 301 redirects. It's not something everyone will understand the value of, but it is a very good idea. It would benefit everyone, but especially those switching an existing site to a WA site.
Here are some additional details of why they are important. As per a previous email exchange from Dmitry, I'll post these comments here...

Discount coupons for event registrations
I tried implementing the arrangement for coupon codes for events this week.
I'm sorry, but I really don't like the way it currently works.
To explain, I wanted to setup a coupon code in WA for 25% off a registration for any event. To start with, I needed to edit every single event one at a time to do so. Then, when I logged in and practiced going through the process of registering, it showed the 25% off rate as an option. Anyone could see the amount of the coupon, even if they did not know the code and therefore could not complete the registration.
For me, this defeats the whole purpose of it being a "code". If I have 25% off and 50% off showing as an option, everyone is going to ask for the code. I don't want everyone to know there even is a code.
I would greatly prefer that coupon codes be an option sitewide for registrations.
It should also not be an option for registering, but rather a code that you enter when completing the registration. It should not be obvious codes even exist except that there is an optional box when completing the registration.
This seems to be more in line with what most e-commerce websites do, right? For example, isn't this basically how gift cards work at Target, Staples, etc?

Sponsor/Advertiser Management Module
We would like to sell ad space in our footer and/or header areas to sponsors and other advertisers.
While it is possible to do this manually, with separate billing etc., it would be very helpful to have a tool to manage the process, including:
- receipt and storage of an ad or logo
- scheduling of its presentation (ie start date, stop date, duration etc)
- selection of which pages it would appear on
- billing and collection via credit card
As for many organizations, I am sure this wouild provide a means of cost-effectively generating revenues and site traffic.

Ad’s management is a huge business with strong players, so building something competitive will cost us a fortune. There is quite low probability that we will take it into development in the nearest future.
For simple cases we recommend to use existing CMS functionality to inject ad’s into site pages. In case if you need precise control on what and when should be shown, then we recommend to integrate 3-rd party solutions.

Tracking Event Volunteers
A huge part of our non-profit's activities involve not only sponsoring events and managing event registrations, but also (just as importantly if not moreso) signing up volunteers to help with these events. There are a few different types of volunteers typically.
(1) General volunteers who sign up to help plan the event. There may be different subsets in this category. For example, our annual Spring Fair is a major event that recruits volunteers for the Food Committee, Decorating Committee, Entertainment Committee, PR Committee, etc.
(2) Event Day Volunteers are people who sign up for specific jobs and/or time slots on the day of the event. Using the Spring Fair example, we might have someone who can work a Game table from 1:00 - 3:00. Another person can work the food booth from 11:30 - 1:00. The committee chairperson needs to make sure she has at least 2 people to cover the food booth for the duration of the event.
(3) Multi-Day Events volunteers. Some events go for an entire week and we need to make sure we have enough staffing for each day of the week. This is similar to #2 above but allows people to specify a specific day as well as a specific time.

Tracking Continuing Education Points (CEU, CEC, CPD, CPU)
There is currently no special functionality for tracking Continuing Education points/credits in Wild Apricot.
