An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment Tom, thanks for bringing up this issue.
I would appreciate comments from other users about their experience converting their website to Wild Apricot - what were the bigger challenges and how do you think we could handle these better in our software.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks, this example is very useful!
An error occurred while saving the comment I would appreciate comments from other clients - especially specific calculation examples.
One big challenge is how these kind of calculations are to be set up - what kind of interface to enter these formulas. Any suggestions/examples you saw in other systems would be appreciated too.

An error occurred while saving the comment Edie - thanks for the details!
I would love to hear comments from other users who could use something like that.
An error occurred while saving the comment Edie - could you elaborate on the ideal scenario you envision for this? What kind of report would you need, how exactly you would use it etc? (This can help us analyze and design future enhancements and/or come up with any workarounds to suggest for now)

An error occurred while saving the comment Let me ask you - what is the reason behind this? My guess is that you want this to use for attendance tracking / at the door check-in.

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on this idea. It shaped the design, and gave us the detail that made it workable.
The feature is in development. Here is what it will include:
- A new Event organizer role, separate from Event manager, so someone can run specific events without access to the rest of the account and other events.
- Three access levels, chosen per event: Check-in assistant, Registration manager and Event lead. Each level has own restrictions and designed accordingly.
- Organizer(s) are assigned on the Event details by Full administrators and Event managers.
- Organizers can’t see Contacts, Financial information, Emails and other pages. Only assigned events.
- A separate release of the mobile Admin app will follow shortly after the web release, to support the new role.
We’re aiming for a release in late November or December 2026. Dates may still move as we finish testing. We’ll post here…
An error occurred while saving the comment Additional details from another client:
I’m glad you’ve asked me about this one, because once I lay it out, you might see why this would help organizations like ours. Our volunteers range from very tech-savvy to driving around in covered-wagons. So I do not trust many of them to have full admin access. However, I often must make them Event-Level admins so that they can check on their registration numbers, etc. Of course, it would be bad if they messed-up their event by accidentally deleting it or something. But at least it would just be their event. However, if I make them Event-Level admins, they could also completely mess-up OTHER people’s events. To minimize this risk, I decided to make them Read-Only admins so that they could check/download their registrations lists. This alleviated the risk of messing things up. But it also dramatically reduced the privacy of our members because Read-Only admins can see which of our members haven’t paid their dues, what they’ve done in the past, get the mailing addresses of people who HAVE NOT registered for their events, etc. So I was forced to settle on having each person who is in-charge of an event email me whenever they want an updated registration list. Then I have to download it and email it to them. This is a pain because I am a volunteer as well!
In a perfect world, I could:
1) choose a person for each event to have EITHER full or read-only access to ONLY that event
2) choose EITHER full or read-only when making someone a Membership Admin. This would be helpful for our Treasurer who needs to look at invoices and renewal info, but shouldn’t be able to modify those records.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Cathy,
This sounds like an interesting idea. I would a appreciate a detailed example of how this would ideally work.

An error occurred while saving the comment Tom, your point is fair, the aspect to consider is that any field can be potentially made into a link on the directory listing, not just name.
We have clients using the system in various ways so there for example situations when the name is hidden but there is a custom 'nickname' field that is made public and that field is used to link to profile details.
Another consideration is that what is displayed is a a complex interplay between what admin sets up (which fields to show in the directory; default privacy settings ) and what member changes, possibly at some later time (privacy settings). So we have implemented this 'View details' to deal with conflicting situations.
I would love to hear input from other clients on this.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thank you, I understand what you are asking for. Can you also elaborate why is this needed/how this would be typically used?
An error occurred while saving the comment Could you describe this in more detail using an example?
An error occurred while saving the comment Can you elaborate - how would you use this in your typical workflow?
An error occurred while saving the comment Since income report is based on invoices, one workaround is to go to Finances/Invoices and apply the same dates filter (assuming you want all invoices included). You can export this list into Excel from this screen.
Let us know if this helps.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Becky,
Other clients can discover these in a number of ways:
- when they actually search or browse the wishlist
- on the forums homepage among most recently updated topics
- by receiving email updates if they subscribed to a certain topic
Also, our customer service/tech support people regularly send people to specific threads if they bring up topics already being discussed.
To find your recent posting, one good way is:
1) Start on the wishlist forum homepage
http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist
2) Find the right category, in this case Fundraising/Donations:
http://forums.wildapricot.com/error-notfound
3) On that page you will see all threads with most recently commented on top - the one you mentioned is right now is the top one. http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8825839-multiple-separately-customizable-donation-forms
An error occurred while saving the comment Becky, thanks for the feedback!
Everyone, I would appreciate your input. We have been considering doing something like this - but would like to hear your thoughts on convenience vs. security. (The way we would implement it is by creating some special auto-generated links that would auto-log in people. These links would have to be individual and also auto-expire after certain time, e.g. several days)
An error occurred while saving the comment We have been thinking about this but there are important security considerations to bypassing the login to access private member data.
btw, you don't have to send them to the home page etc.
You can give them a direct link to membership renewal:
https://<yoursite>/Content/Wizard/Renewal/MemberRenewal.aspx
If they are not logged int yet, system will ask them to log in - and then immediately start the renewal.
Another option is using our recent addition - to automatically generate a renewal invoice. Then your emails can simply send them the link to the renewal invoice and they can proceed to payment even faster.

An error occurred while saving the comment Sorry, it's not something we are likely to implement for the next few years at least. Consider using event organizer function and then email redirects that forward it to multiple addresses.
An error occurred while saving the comment I think we already have that, check

An error occurred while saving the comment Christian, we would really appreciate a detailed example of how this would ideally work in your situation.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks Dietmar, this example is very useful!
I would love to get examples from other users so that we can analyze a more generic solution.
An error occurred while saving the comment Andrew - thanks for posting. I would appreciate more details - as detailed an example as possible to illustrate how this would ideally be used.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for posting.
To summarize, let's say your site is http://www.abc.org and it's setup on Wild Apricot to redirect to https on payments only. Your secondary free WA domain is abc.wildapricot.org
Currently if someone (actual visitor or Google WMT) tries (for some reason) to access the site as httpS://www.abc.org, WA would allow secure connection - but it would have to use Wild Apricot security certificate and some browsers display scary looking warning before they are allowed to proceed.
So the suggestion is to silently redirect them to http://www.abc.org instead
I would appreciate comments from others.

An error occurred while saving the comment As of now, the only reason I am aware of to delete past events is to keep the total event list smaller/manageable to search currently active events. I think the best solution for this is to provide better filtering/searching capabilities - see http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8827291-managing-a-database-with-many-events-5687
If there are other reasons for deleting past events, I would appreciate input here.
An error occurred while saving the comment Can you elaborate - why wouldn't you want to keep past events? Deleting theme deletes event registrations etc.
Kerrie-Anne - thanks, noted.
