Inject custom content above or below footers, or turn off footers entirely.
|
In addition to turning footers on and off, for more flexibility, the HTML contents of a document can be "injected" either above or below where the footer would normally appear.
This provides for more complete customization of the appearance of the footer as explained here.

Change web-header based on document viewed
|
An alternate web header graphic can now be loaded on a per-page basis specified as a document property. New settings also allow HTML content from a document in the library to be injected into the web-header area. The vertical height is no configurable also allowing for different pages to have headers of different types. Flash content (.SWF) files are treated in the same way as image files. Flash files will be recognized and formatted to play automatically in the header area.

Change side-panel content on document load
|
It is possible to have multiple side panel documents in NeatClubs.COM. Sometimes it is valuable to have the content in a side panel change depending on the page that is loaded.
A new document property allows a document to be loaded in the position of "Side Panel Document #1". If a document is selected to occupy the side panel it will appear in the space designated in the side panel setup even if side panel #1 is disabled. If enabled, the document specific side panel document will replace the normal one.

Change status message that appears when events are closed for registration
|
Currently when registration for an event is closed, we have language advising of this, and a hard-coded request that people contact the facility with the site e-mail provided. Suggestion is that we simplify the displayed text and have the presentation of the e-mail and phone number follow only when these elements are enabled on the site sub-header.

Provide an option to replace system generated "registration closed" message with custom text
|
Relating to the same issue as described above, some sites will not be happy with any pre-defined text that we provide, and yet we don't want to create a separate parameter that needs to be configured for every site (or event). Nor do we want to incur the performance overhead of a separate read from the database.
We will leverage the custom text feature already introduced under "System Setup" / "Preferences" / "Custom Text" to allow customers to replace this message with the contents of a document. By default the system generated text will be displayed, and text from a document will be inserted (at the expense of an additional database access) only if a customer opts to replace the standard text.

Option to "undelete" registrations
|
Incomplete registrations can be deleted in a number of ways including by the administrator, based on grace periods expiring, based on user actions, or based on registrations being removed from the shopping cart (which also deletes the pending registration).
This is problematic because there is no automated way to retrieve accidentally deleted registrations and recovering from backup is complex and manual.
The suggestion is that in all cases these partial registrations be moved into a "holding area" so that they can be reviewed and selectively restored by the administrator if need be.

Adaptive Payments
|
PayPal has recently made an enhancement to their service called "Adaptive Payments".
Adaptive Payments opens up all kinds of interesting business opportunities by enabling "affiliate payments" to be triggered automatically based on registration activities.
As an example, you might strike a deal with an external partner to promote an event, and you may want to pay them a fixed amount for all registrations automatically.
Adaptive payments requires PayPal API credentials and these can now be setup in the Payment Preferences Setup screen.

Corrections to "run event" in event listing
|
Events have evolved to be callable in different ways. For example single-events and anonymous registrations are almost called directly. class registrations can be called directly or from a schedule or program view where class times are pre-selected - resource reservations are called from a schedule view and camps are assumed to be called from a camp schedule view.
We need to review the "run event" options available to the administrator in both the event listing view and the event summary view to make sure the the event module is being called in the most logical way for each event type.

Running events from menu options needs to better reflect event types

As above, we should verify that linking to events from the menu is consistent with the most logical way of entering an event as above.

Resolve performance problems (page loads with cold cache)
|
With several sites (particularly with a cold browser cache) the header renders visibly faster than the rest of the page. This is not too noticeable with a fast internet connection and a warm cache, but can be quite distracting with a slower or higher latency connection (wireless for example). It is more noticeable in IE than FireFox because FireFox uses more sophisticated progressive rendering. It can also lead to timing related Javascript bugs. The suspected issue is that we have in-line CSS and in-line javascript being loaded as a part of the page and the browser ceases to load elements in parallel when this is the case, serializing them and result in very slow download times where the download time for the page is proportional to the number of features enabled. Also progressive rendering is turned off in the browser when this occurs. We need to study this and eliminate the causes of serial object downloads and progressive rendering being disabled to create a better user experience. Some customers are almost certainly perceiving our sites as very slow.

Featured Documents, Articles and Events not respecting member type and item permissions
|
Currently the display of side panel lists depends on whether the items is "featured" and ignores the user member-type and item permissions. These generated lists should respect the document permissions as well as the membertype, and depend on whether a site user is or is not logged in.

Verify construction of hidden .htaccess files
|
In an effort to improve site performance, the system now generates .htaccess files to provide instructions to the browser on the longevity of cache objects. This has the potential to improve performance greatly, but with the downside that it could cause problems owing to updated javascript or CSS being inappropriately cached by a client browser or newly uploaded PDFs or images still appearing as they were despite them being correctly uploaded. A mechanism needs to be devised to append a date designator to new javascript code revisions on provisioning so that the previously cached items are automatically invalidated. Frequently uploaded items like PDFs need to be similarly handled explicitly.

Case of duplicate registration attempts
|
Sometimes a person will register, the first transaction will fail, and a second duplicate registration will be received successfully within minutes for what is clearly the same transaction. In this case we need to make sure that the failed registration notification e-mail to the parent is suppressed for the first transaction - otherwise the parent will be confused by what they perceive as a cancellation for their second correct registration when it fact the notification concerns their failed first registration attempt.
