By cap10morganFiled under CiviCRM Multi-Org refers to the ability to support multiple owner organizations (usually a hierarchical structure of umbrella orgs and sub-orgs or local chapters) and keep some data siloed in each org while allowing other users to aggregate data across orgs too. It has been been a tough nut to crack. But I and the organization I work for (The Public Interest Network) are committed to getting it working in CiviCRM 2.3.

By rczamor Filed under CiviMail, CiviCRM, DrupalTrellon has been working on a fairly large implementation of CiviCRM for an advocacy group based in DC that was seeking to implement a CRM system that will help them manage their online fundraising and email marketing program. Email marketing is a large part of the organization's outreach strategy, so having a mail system that can deliver their 50,000+ emails in a short amount of time was a necessity.

A few weeks ago, we started designing the new looks for contact edit screen, as a part of usability focus for CiviCRM 2.3. Quick remark on this - it's a very last minute to submit your feedback on that improvement, so if you have some good idea, come back to this blog post and submit your comments.
Anyway, now it's time to introduce some changes to contact viewing screen! Following the same process as previously with contact editing, we prepared the screen mockup for your perusal. Make sure to read the rest of this blog post, take a close look at the mockup and post your feedback/comments/critique/ideas below or on Usability forum board. Special humble request to all the CiviCRM integrators and consultants - if you have a chance to discuss over this mockup with end users that you work with, it would be most helpful if you could do so - and let us know about their reactions.

As we focus on usability improvements for the 2.3 release, we are looking at ways to use screen space more efficiently AND ways to streamline commonly used workflows. With these goals in mind, we'd like folks to take a look at two newly implemented features in the 2.3 sandbox - a new shortcuts dropdown menu, and a streamlined workflow for entering offline contributions.

Discounting events has been requested on the forums a few times. It also popped up both on IRC yesterday and was also needed on civicrm.org for our upcoming UK Training Camp. We decided to see if we could implement this via hooks and minimal / no changes to the core code. Turned out we can implement this this feature using three civicrm hooks and a helper fuction. We improved the core a wee bit by allowing the buildForm hook to inform the tpl system of any form elements added. The tpl then places these form elements at the top of the form. An event can have zero or more coupons. Coupons for an event are stored in the option group / value table. Each coupon code is a string (chosen by admin) and can be used a certain number of times. Coupons can also be used forever. A valid coupon gives the user a percentage discount on the event. Giving the coupon a 100% value basically gives the user a free registration. Coupons can be sent in via the URL or can be entered into the registration form.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMEarlier this week we received some pretty excellent feedback from some CiviCRM users. This made our week, so we decided to share :). Erik Möller from Wikimedia Foundation writes:
CiviCRM definitely is becoming the leading open source product in this
space, and its growing mindshare and modular framework is helping it
to support other non-profit needs as well. Wikimedia has been using
CiviCRM as a fundraising backend for more than a year now after some
