The team is super excited to announce the first alpha release for 4.2 with support for Drupal 7, Joomla 1.7 and WordPress.
Please remember this is an ALPHA release and it should NOT be used on production sites - however, we strongly encourage everyone to upgrade a copy of your current site(s) on a test server and let us know about any bugs or problems.
The first Manchester UK CiviCRM User and Admin training was held last week with a fantastic group of attendees who travelled from around the UK to learn more about Civi. Everyone got involved in sharing their experiences and user cases which made a friendly atmosphere over the two days.
Following the 2012 London Code Sprint, a number of new features were added to the CiviCRM payment extensions framework, with a view to providing a programming interface for fully self-contained payment extensions, which can be installed and uninstalled via a single click.
CiviCRM 4.1.3 has been released and is available for immediate download from SourceForge. This is a security release which addresses several potential vulnerabilities. We recommend that you upgrade as soon as possible.
So maybe filling out forms isn't anybody's idea of a good time, but at least building them can be fun, thanks to the shiny new version 3 of Webform CiviCRM Integration!
The PROGRESSIVE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT (PTP) is seeking a Data Specialist to join our PowerBase team. PowerBase is a customized, hosted version of the open source platform, CiviCRM, developed by PTP specifically for groups doing community organizing.
After discussion with core team members, mainly Dave Greenberg, there has been some discussion in the past about how to use the primary_contact_id field within organization contact type. I would like to revisit this after having about a year's time with CiviCRM and putting it into production use. Please chime in with any thoughts or other use cases that you see this field being used for.
Nfpservices are looking forward to the next CiviCRM London Seminar which will take place on Tuesday 19th June at our London Office.
The seminar was a great success last month with several new organisations being introduced to CiviCRM and understanding the potential of the product.
English is the default language of CiviCRM, but many translations are available. For example, Russian, Chinese, French, Dutch and Japanese are 100% completion (or almost). Italian, Danish, Spanish, Swedish, German and Portuguese are also very advanced. There are 64 languages and variants on Transifex at the moment of this writing.
Despite torrential rains yesterday, New York City's first CiviCRM Co-Working day was a hit. A diverse group of people representing workers unions, religious organizations, Occupy Wall Street, The Drupal Association and more gathered to work together. The morning started out withOUT coffee and donuts (we can blame the rain) yet everyone buckled down to work with Dave and Lobo standing by on IRC to answer any questions.
