This module produces CRA compliant Tax Receipts. It's currently housed in the Drupal Sandbox: http://drupal.org/sandbox/semperit/1289724 - lots of development on its way to include more features and to bring it up to the level of a full Drupal project with stable releases for both D6/D7 and a variety of CiviCRM versions. After these releases future development will focus on making this into a CiviCRM extension.

An organisation I work with wishes to extend the Personal Campaign Page (PCP) to allow teams to raise money either using their group PCP page, or individual PCP pages of each team member. In other words, the team organiser creates a PCP page and sets a team objective. The organiser then invites members to join its group. By doing so, the team member creates its own PCP page with a personnal objective.

In terms of functionality:

Do you modify template files for your site?  If so, you ought to know the tedious process of updating all the overridden template files every time you upgrade.  (If you don't know that pain, either you've never upgraded or you should quit reading and go check your customized files.)

Join the next meeting of the Dallas / Fort Worth CiviCRM Meetup group on Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 6:00 PM. We meet every send Tuesday at Improving Enterprises in Addison.

Join the group for a look at the variety of uses for CiviCRM profiles - ways to populate your contact database.

Come to the inaugural CiviCon Downunder!!!

For the past few months we have been working with Future First, who have an ambitious mission of 'creating an alumni network for every state school in the UK'. A key part of this work is the ability to track and engage with recent school leavers and we've spent a fair amount of time building tools that allow them to do this.

I seem to spend a large amount of time helping people to get data back out of CiviCRM. I'm a big fan of the reports framework and up until 4.2  I made a number of improvements to the core reports for my customers. However, from 4.2 I switched to doing reports in an extension. I have been doing almost all my reports in the extended reports extension and have been playing with a few ideas in that extension. Some of them are well developed, others are in the early stages.

Just created a quick ERD for CiviCase, and shared it on this page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/CiviCRM+ERD+3.3.

It is version 3.3, so not the latest and greatest. But I am sure I will have to check the same ERD for version 4 at a near point in the future and update the ERD too. And I do not think there are major differences in the data model......

The next London CiviCRM meetup on Wednesday 28th November.  We've run some really sucessful meetups over the last couple of years and we're looking forward to another great turn out.
