Households – a bit of an audit
We have been looking at whether it is a good idea to use households and thought I would pull together the various things that have been written about households into a bit of a 'where are they at'.
CiviCRM 3.2.2 released
Update: Due to an unfortunate error multilingual sites cannot be upgraded to CiviCRM 3.2.2; if you’re running such site please wait for CiviCRM 3.2.3. Single-language sites (regardless of the language they use) should upgrade to CiviCRM 3.2.2 cleanly, and new CiviCRM 3.2.2 installations (both single- and multilingual) should work without a problem.
CivicActions Offering Two CiviCRM User Trainings: Seattle & Berkeley
CivicActions is offering a full day CiviCRM User Training in Seattle and in Berkeley.
I'll be conducting the training which is aimed at non-profit staff and consultants who want to learn how to
configure, administer and use CiviCRM.The training program is
equally applicable to people who are already using CiviCRM and want to
become "power users", as well as people who are interested in evaluating
CiviCRM for their organization or clients.The agenda will be finalized based on participant mix. Topics may include:
Feature Set and Schedule for CiviCRM v3.3
After what seems to be an incredibly long time, we released CiviCRM v3.2 a few weeks ago to good reviews and not too many critical bug reports :). Now that is out of the way, we are starting to plan the feature set for v3.3
We've been fortunate to get a grant from Open Society Institute to help add some features important for Human Right Organizations, specifically for Front Line. We've been working with Front Line for a few years and this grant allows us to target their needs more effectively. Some of the features that are included in this grant are:
- Extending Address inheritance from Organization to an Individual (or from any contact to any other contact - TBD).
- Building Advanced Reports and Dashlets for Human Rights Organizations
- First version of Logging
Campaign as a Core CiviCRM Component !!!!!
CiviCRM iphone app ( pre alpha release )
I have developed very basic iphone app for CiviCRM using Titanium framework.
Creating an Address block token
Tokens are used in CiviCRM to create mail merges in much the same way as, for example, Microsoft Office. They are currently implemented in (at least) four places in CIviCRM: 'CiviMail', 'Send Mail to Contacts', 'Create PDF Letter' and 'Create Mailing Labels'.
Out of the box Civi comes with a decent set of tokens, including tokens for all the address fields. One thing it doesn't do is provide a token that correctly formats an address block taking account of when fields aren't present. For example, if i used the following address tokens for my address:
{contact.street_address}
How civicrm avoids creating duplicates, and suggestions for improvements
Hi all,
We probably all have the same problem: the same contact is present several times in our CRM.
