Blogues

So here is the first one, review of an extension! I have selected this one because we recently used it in a project and expect to use if many times in the future.

We thought a review should be easy to read and concise, so we decided we limit ourselves to max 3-5 sentences per subject.

At CiviCon London 2014 the topic of extensions came up in a couple of conversations. Should some extensions be part of core, how do we deal with really good extensions and really bad ones, should we show how many times an extension is downloaded etc. Jaap Jansma and me discussed some more with Lobo on IRC and we decided that we would start with extension reviews. We feel that the extension mechanism is really cool and helps us a lot as developers and as users.

Why mya you may ask?

The holiday season is almost upon us. So we thought we’d round up a top ten of 2013 to highlight what we have achieved as a community this year.  Of course, this is just the tip of the CiviCRM iceberg! We’d love to hear about your achievements in the comments below.

CiviCase is generally described as "a container for activities". As a container, it's well-suited to two scenarios:
