Hi All,

Following discussions with a number of clients Compucorp and GMCVO are pleased to announce we are looking to collaborate to develop a "CiviBooking" extention for CiviCRM.

Overview:

The aim of the module will be to create a CMS independent extension to allow organisations to manage a group of resources (i.e. rooms) offering these to constituents for a fee.

Hi,

Node.js allows to run javascript on the server and is great for real time applications when you want to have lots of users and connections at the same time

I wrote a node module to easily connect to a civicrm server from that node.js. I found a cool module that makes it easy to generate names, addresses, phone number and emails and hacked a quick example of how civi can be used from node.js.

This is an extremely simple extension that adds two tiny pieces of functionality that I'm sure many marketing types will love. It adds percentages to the 'opens' and 'click-through' totals on CiviMail reports.

That's it, but gives you a quick overview of your mailouts success.

Download the extension here.

I've been tinkering with this for a while and now have a limited extension released for easily displaying statistics about your constituents in front end locations of your website using CiviCRM Smarty tokens.

There's only a few available right now, mainly due to my own time constraints, but also because I'd like people to tell me what they need and I'll add functionality that way.

This release replaces 4.2.3 which was pulled due to a syntax problem in the upgrade script.

If you've downloaded 4.2.3 but not tried to run the upgrade yet, you can trash that tarball and download 4.2.4.

If you tried to upgrade using 4.2.3 and got the fatal error, you can download 4.2.4 and safely run the upgrade again.

if you used the 4.2.3 release to install a NEW CiviCRM site, no additional action is needed. (The bug does not affect new installs.)

At the CiviSprint in Apeldoorn I have spoken with a few people about a 24x7 support system for CiviCRM projects.   I have found a partner in Switzerland who could provide this. We are still discussing about pricing and setup.   What I see as a possible procedure would be:
