An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment We have decided not to pursue WA translations until 2011 - too much stuff we have to do first to make the system better for English speaking users first so we have to focus our resources on that.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oliver,
Thanks for the suggestions - makes total sense.
This is something we plan to do, but before we proceed with the actual translation work, we have to do a lot of development work on our end. Since we have a big pipeline of enhancements requsted by many clients, we are not able to invest this development time for now. I suspect that the earliest we can look at this again will be in 2010.
An error occurred while saving the comment We still plan to do this but there is no specific timeline as of now - we have too many other things in the work queue which are more frequently requested.
We do have people who manage decent bilingual sites using WA, though it is a bit of a hassle to maintain - requires manual work.
An error occurred while saving the comment We have decided to postpone adding language to Wild Apricot - we need to direct the resources to meet other requests from our current clients.
An error occurred while saving the comment We have decided to postpone this further - there is simply too much for us to do in the main, English version, before we can allocate any resources to localization.
An error occurred while saving the comment I saw it, very cool - very nice use of Javascript to provide a switch between English and French.
Good job!!
An error occurred while saving the comment Ken,
The way it looks now, we will not start adding multi-lingual support for at least 6-9 months - need to take care of some basic architecture changes first. Actual features will be largely determined by input we receive.
An error occurred while saving the comment Helen,
You are right - event invitations are not currently customizable. It is on our list though - http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308920-archive/suggestions/8831239-customizing-event-notices-reminders - and I will record your vote to bump it up in our queue.
Renewal notices are customizable now. Go to Settings / Membership levels / click into any level / on Renewal policy tab you will see links to customize all the renewal emails. or have I misunderstood your comment?
We do plan to support other languages in the future - starting with Spanish and French - but for the moment we have many requests from our English speaking user base we have to attend to, I hope you understand.

I am looking to do something like:
Most our clients will want to provide a bilingual content site. :). The system localization...is not
important for us..., but the ability to provide an easy to navigate multilingual site is....
...
An error occurred while saving the comment Current behavior:
While webpage content and data records can be in any language, administration interface and system labels are only available in English.Desired behavior:
Ability to use other languages, first of all for member and public view, ideally for the admin view as well.Notes:
1) Languages under consideration:
Spanish, French, German
2) Once we localize the system, each new release will become longer and more expensive since we will need to review and translate new labels into each additional language.An error occurred while saving the comment Sharon,
The only way to do it now is to create a set of duplicate pages with French content. We plan a more robust handling of switching languages but it is currently planned for end of 2008.
Keyword search - this can be done by inserting Google search engine into you Wild Apricot site.
An error occurred while saving the comment Richard, sorry, we have postponed the localization of the system for 2008, at least until Q2. Too many other client requests for English version we have to deal with first. And initial versions will be translated by us so Catalan is probably not going to among the first languages we translate to.

Hi,
thanks for your very fast response - the members of the association are french speaking - so I need the page names ane contents to be in french, including the web, as well as confirmation messages.
For what regards administration I believe the admnistrator will be English speaking, so no big issue there.
Let me make you some examples:
- home page:you have a menu on the top with different options 'dashboard, web pages,...) - the option should be written in french if the language selected for the system is french
[/quote]
DB: Top menu is only shown to administrator so it sounds this one would not be a big deal for you.
[quote user="renato"]
- Events session: show details for each event - the header is in ENglish (date, time, location) and should be French
- Web: you have a web page called events. I can change the text in the menu to the french equivalent (aveniment) , however if I go into the event page there is a header in English (events) which I cannot edit. I'd like that header to say 'Aveniment' if the language is set to French
If you have some of this already in french language, could you allow me to upgrade my trial system with this feature? The reason is that it will be much easier for me to sell to the Sommelier Association the idea of buying your product if they see it is in French (i.e; they can understand it).
Thanks in advance - in case let's have a phone call to discuss the details (drop me an e-mail at my private adress which I provided signing in).
Thanks and Cheers

Understood. Unfortunately there is no quick and easy (or even quick and dirty) way to show this in French - this would have to wait until we release the multi-lingual features later in the year.
An error occurred while saving the comment Hello there,
Can you please elaborate what specific issues are criticial for you regarding french ?
Obviously, page names and page content can be in French.
Standard confirmation emails are in English but very soon we will provide ability to customize them so you can write them in French. (a few weeks away)
Built-in forms and administration functionality are only in English for now. We have it on our roadmap for Q4 this year to add localization options.

You can see that http://inventorsforum.memberlodge.org/Content/RSS/events.ashx?pageId=83347 returns a feed while http://www.hopeca.com/Content/RSS/events.ashx?pageId=143362 returns Resource not found so page is not correct/not publicly accessible.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Rob, the list of layouts/pages can't be customized, sorry.
Once we release new CMS in version 5.0 (planned for the fall), the interface will change and I think this might become feasible though in a different way (there will be a new concept of page layouts)
For now the only workaround is to create as regular pages and then copy them when needed.

An error occurred while saving the comment Russell, thanks for your understanding and support, much appreciated!
An error occurred while saving the comment Hey Russell - I really appreciate this detailed feedback and will share it with a bunch of people on our team.
We are quite aware of the challenges in customization of WA sites - and have been looking for solutions. The reason behind this crazy complicated CSS is because we currently use the same HTML for all the themes in WA - so we had to go for an 'overkill' with DIVs to achieve the level of variety in themes (and we are still not satisfied with what we have).
We have been researching various options and eventually decided that we have to totally overhaul our CMS architecture - and we have been going down this this path starting in mid 2010.
You might want to review this thread for additional background:
In our next update 4.2 we are finally rolling out this new architecture - slowly and carefully, to minimize potential problems with existing heavily customized sites. Basically 4.2 will run on a totally new different templating architecture and it will become possible (as a beta) to do HTML customization of templates. Version 4.3 will follow-up on that and offer a new CMS UI to use new capabilities.
So please be patient with us and stay tuned for version 4.2 (May) and let's resume this dialog once you have a chance to lay with 4.2 and review the documentation. It will not address all of your comments right away but I am confident that it puts us on the right path to take WA CMS/customization to the new level.

I will forward this to our team working on the redesign of our template engine - and we will also discuss internally what else we can do to address the issues you raised.
Thanks again.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, appreciate the post - good point.
An error occurred while saving the comment One specific and very important item we are looking for feedback on is this:
We have heard from our partners that they find it hard to customize WA templates.
We are hearing you and we definitely want to address this - so we would highly appreciate inout from - as detailed and specific as possible:
what kind of customization issues you are facing when customizing WA templates? How would you ideally like to see it changed?

By the way, you might want to explore Theme Overrides for even deeper customization if needed:

Though my personal opinion is that for usability reasons showing login fields makes it easier for people to find/recognize login for what it is.

An error occurred while saving the comment It's a bit complex but let's give it a try:
Insert into Global JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
var userAfterLoginBoxText = '<a href="http://anysite.com">My testimonial</a><br><a href="http://anysite.com">My testimonial 1</a>';
var userTextContainer = document.createElement('DIV');
userTextContainer.className = 'cssUserTextContainer';
userTextContainer.innerHTML = userAfterLoginBoxText;
var userLoginContainer = document.getElementById('idLoginContainer');
var userNavigationContainer;if (userLoginContainer)
{
userNavigationContainer = userLoginContainer.parentNode;if (userNavigationContainer)
{
userNavigationContainer.appendChild(userTextContainer);
}
}</script>
Insert into Advanced CSS customization: DIV.cssUserTextContainer
{
clear: both;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0px;
padding: 7px;

An error occurred while saving the comment As we did not get any other requests regarding this, we have decided to remove it from our wishlist for now.
An error occurred while saving the comment The thing with documents is that depending on document type and user settings it will either be either downloaded or opened inline. So target has less effect than for links.
Nevertheless this is a valid request and we will add it to our list.
An error occurred while saving the comment We are discussing this and will follow-up with you.
We have decided not to proceed with this in 2010 - need to address many other areas in the product first.
