Parking lot - holds ideas/questions for later discussion.
- Use graphics program to design layout of profile pages, etc. as next step for us to help AJ
- Mailings for non-members handled how? Using civimail? How do they subscribe - via a mailman list? Salesforce form?
- Think about now as a time to redesign site and pick a new template. Thoughts to keep in mind as picking a template:
- 247 templates
- 100% width templates
- Templates with top and bottom modules instead of left and right to maximize space
Other pages to do
- "Invite your friends to join Kabissa" page
- Standard gizmo to send e-mail through site to e-mail addresses entered in through the site with info about Kabissa and a link to sign up.
- "Latest Awards" page/module
- "Newest members" page/module
- logos/links associated with all articles/content to digg, technorati, del.icio.us
etc - Endorsements - ability for Kabissa members to comment on/rate other members (linkedIn-style)
- Potentially add more organizational data to get a better sense of credibility/level of sophistication, e.g., year founded, number of staff vs. volunteers, annual budget, etc.
Questions/Answers from Lobo and Dave
- Is it possible to configure e-mail templates for new member signup, 'ping' reminders, hosting
- Insert database fields
- Doesn't look like this exists in civicrm now? Civimail extension?
- Answer: not currently in civicrm as it exists but hooks are there for this sort of thing to be implemented. ie. send email with template via a php script. And potentially to extend civicrm backend to add two-step wizard process.
- How do we handle event logging? notes or activities or audit trail?
- notes are not searchable
- activities seem limited too - how does it work?
- where do we log things like a kabissa admin approving a member application?
- details we need to track: user who did the action, timestamp, what the action was
- Answer: any time you are going to insert/make a change to a contact record there is a before/after hook call - this can be used to add an entry to the activity record for the contact.
- A means to list and use activities by date (Regardless of contact) is required too
- Sign of life -- special field is updated with current date anytime anything related to the organization has happened, ie. adding content or updating something. etc
