    Re: Submit Events for Members

    Dmitry,

    For what it's worth, I think it would be a great first step.

    While it might be nice to allow members to edit their posted events, It would not be a big deal for the admin to post changes on their behalf.

    Re: Submit Events for Members

    I'd like to reply to the thread, that what's being discussed is important for our organization as well.

    It's a benefit for the members of our association to advertise their events.  Once they have submitted the event information for approval, we'd like to 'approve' that for view on our website.  While development time and details are necessary, even being able to create a simple form for submission to an administrator, or certain group of members for approval, would be a BIG step in the right direction.  As I read the information now, I must use another service in order to create a simple form for our WA site, which doesn't make much sense to me.

    Please include our vote for the critical importance of this ability for WA sites and organizations.

    Thank you.

    Re: Submit Events for Members

    While I just found this thread I want to throw another option in for possible consideration.

    I would like all of the above but for our organization, I use the calendar for training scheduling and would like to have the option to add a payment to the events added.

    In other words, when a member adds an event they also either have to have a voucher (preassigned) for free/included training, or they have to pay a specified amount per hour.

    Im hopefull that might be possible as this would make our training scheduling so much more simplified if members could view the calendar, see an open time slot and simply sign up and pay as needed.

     Thanks for your consideration. - Scott

    Scott, this sound a pretty unique requirement so we would not include it in our original scope, sorry.

    I too would love to see this feature.  Giuliano's description of the design from last January would work just fine for us.

    Is this scheduled for v4.0?

    Re: Submit Events for Members

    Can I ask why not? This is obviously an important issue for a lot of people. It has been in demand for years and you said you had the system basically designed and that it would be included in 3.4 or 3.5 in early 2010.

    Re: Submit Events for Members

    There were no resources to do it in 4.0 - it was a major effort to redesign the financial management aspect so unfortunately other features had to be delayed.

    Re: Submit Events for Members

    Hi there,

     

    I'm a new user and am also interested in being able to have our members add events.  Is there any news on this front since the last post?

     

    Thanks - otherwise I love the product and looking forward to learning more about it.

    Please add me to the list of people that feel this is a very important feature.  The functionality, as documented here, would work perfectly.

    Hi Jessie - sorry,  we are not likely to tackle this feature in 2011.

    That's disappointing, especially since it was stated almost two years ago that it would be implemented mid 2010, at the latest. 

    Is the prioritization process documented anywhere?  I understand that you can use these threads to get a sense of how important each feature request is, but how do you gauge how we would prioritize each of these features against each other?  There are features that have been delivered over the last year that, personally, I would not have prioritized higher than this one. 

    Have you considered using some kind of stack-ranking system that your customers could use to communicate relative priority of feature requests?  I recognize that the features may vary greatly in effort to implement, and that you have other constraints such as development resource expertise, which also influence priority.  However, such a system could help define the workstream, provide visibility into the process, and alleviate some of the frustration that I'm sure customers on this thread are feeling.

    Re: Submit Events for Members

    We use the # of comments and thread ratings (stars) as an approximation of the priority - however then we have to reconcile it against what we are seeing in support and customer feedback surveys.

    Event creation by all members

    It would be nice if members with access can create events.

    Re: Event creation by all members

    Adding my voice to the mix that this get higher priority.

     

    I was under the impression before agreeing to Wild Apricot that this was an available functionality.

     

    Our members are therapists, and they run groups and events for their clients.  It's a member benefit to be able to list them in their directory listing, which ideally would synch up with a composite public calendar of all member groups / events.  Admin could add in non-member yet pertinent events to the calendar.

     

    Curious what people are using in the meantime ~ Google calendars are so limited ~ can't even put a hyperlink in a listing.... 

     

    Thanks for continuing to improve it.
