Another idea would be to make the macro fields available to web pages in the restricted  member-only areas and have them connected to the User who is logged in.

If that was the case, I could then make a new web page labeled "Membership Certificate" and I can format it how I like and insert the needed fields so when a member logs in it inserts the member's most recent information. We have alot of people without email so this would work good. They could print it when they need it.

If pay/donation data was included I could format a receipt page for members too.

Thanks!

If we could create name badges directly from WildApricot and had just a few of the most popular Avery sizes to choose from, I think we could adapt.

Also important would be the ability to print rosters for events, filtered by workshop.

Same here...

 We (Cycling BC) print a plastic membership cards  using a local printer (a magicard enduro)....this type of feature would be a great addition.....

Wild Apricot,

We would love to hear what you are thinking about the timeline of this feature? 

Meagan,

 Sorry, I do not have good news for you. We originally targeted to handle this within 2010 but we ended up doing a much broader redesign of financial functionality (that is being launched in version 4.0 shortly) so a number of things have been delayed. So this one definitely has high priority but we have not yet scheduled it to a particular version yet.

This is something our club also needs.  The HTML option sound interesting but a more automated alternative might be to add a system e-mail that would be generated when a member payment status changed  from pending to completed.  That e-mail would either contain the membership card or attach the card.  The info needed on the card, at a minimum would be organization name, member name, membership expiration date,

Desired features: 

short name in large type, "Jen". 

Name below in smaller type, "Jennifer Baumgarten". 

Below that, club position, if any, "secretary". 

Ability to apply a logo or overall background image to make it attractive and customize the fonts.

We would LOVE this feature, especially for certificates/member verification.  What would be best for us would be a landscape format, choice of some simple borders, ability to upload/use/position our logo, ability to upload/use/position the organization president's signature (or other official), and then have a choice of fields to include (as determined by an administrator, not a user).

Additionally, it would be fantastic if this was available for events so that those who were present could later download their certificates for proof of attending (we do continuing education events for licensees that need the information for license renewal through a state agency).   This would, for us, require some sort of attendance roll sheet (so that someone who registered for an event, but did not attend could NOT print a certificate).

If you were doing labels, a 2x4 (Avery 5162/8163) and/or a 1x2 5/8 (Avery 5160/8160) would meet our needs.

I'm not sure if there's a way to control print settings so that only the certificate portion of the web page would print.  If not, a one-click export to PDF and email to member's address on file would be great.

Thank you for considering these!  It would be SO helpful to our organization and very beneficial to our members.

+1 (I just posted elsewhere - membership badges is what i really need)

A relevant comment received from a user:

"..1) would be kind of like the membership certificate, but would be automatically generated in a PDF form as soon as a member is confirmed, and then would be automatically emailed.  It would be nice if there could be even 2 or 3 of these documents that were possible (we'd use it for a membership certificate, membership card, and other items as they come up).  2) additional attachments--instead of having a pages-long email, having a PDF we would create and upload, and that would be sent to members (or certain levels of members) when they join...." 

Any progress on this item?  We are looking for a way to generate a check-in list (we currently use excel but it involves moving/deleting columns) as well as automatically format name badges.  It would be nice to customize an excel export of attendees, so we just have to print, and not do a bunch of gyrations in excel to get the format we're looking for.

 we are looking for a report that has colums:

Company Name | First Name | Last Name | Guests | Payment Amt etc...

I'm back.  I just hand printed 100 membership cards and mailed out about 50 of them.  What a drag.  

You should figure out how to include membership cards in a pdf or something that a member can print out themselves and then make that be a community or above level feature.  That would make me seriously figure out how to get my lil 'ole club to pony up for the next level... Thats $300 bucks right there!  Who else is in?  *grin*

-jj (a very happy wa customer that just did their first ever paypal integrated membership renewals for a lil bitty 110 member club.  I touched paper 12 times this year as opposed to the 110 times last year.  Very happy customer with happy members)

PLEASE let us know when you plan to roll out this feature or any updates you have about the delay in creating it. It seems it has been in the hopper for a while now. I know that there are many posts and requests for this... we have been waiting with our fingers crossed for over a year..... any news on when/if  this will become the newest exciting feature you roll out?

We just need something simple to prevent us from having to print and mail membership cards each month. 

Name
Organization
Date of renewal

I want to use membership management for my only database, but cannot use it to print out mailing labels.  So, I must maintain membership in a duplicate excel file.  What a waste of time!

PLEASE consider a way to export the membership database into a printable file. 

THANKS!!!!

I started this post over 4 years ago and have as of Feb 2011 have cancelled BOTH my website plans.I have been with WA for over 5 years but after 4 years this was a business deal breaker.

I have to know that my business can grow with the support of the web providers..Since it could not I simply had to move on as certificates are a must for my members.

Hi,

Are you making any progress on this? Any idea of a time-line?

Many thanks and have a nice day,

Nicole 

Nicole,

No, we have not done any work on this so timeline is not clear.

I've been using a simple solution for this membership card issue for some years now.  I simply embedded the membership card in the membership confirmation email that the system sends back to the member at sign up and renewal time.

I just built a table with a dashed line outline and added a logo and the text and macros to personalize the card.  Works perfectly.  In my case I choose to print real membership cards every couple of weeks on business card stock using MS match/merge and they replace these email versions but the email version looks identical to the final product. 

There is no reason why the same trick would not work for event confirmation emails so event attendees can print their own ID badges.   

Member since: {Member_Since}     Expires : {Member_Renewal_Date} Member: {Contact_First_Name}  {Contact_Last_Name}

I have to agree with the other members. A membership card or certificate is something we all do annually and it would be nice to eliminate the current multiple step work around. Similarly name badges are something we produce 6+ times each year. Our preveous product (iMIS) could do this directly from the database w/o the export step. This is the only feature I miss after moving to WA.

If you ask Avery or another lable company what is the most popular name bage size, I would be willing to move to that size. As others have stated the name badge needs to print name, title/company, city for name badges. The certs should be an option of 2 sizes, letter size (8.5 x 11") and wallet card.
