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:

We've been using CiviCRM at Bay Area Children's Theatre since 2008, and started using it for ticket sales shortly thereafter.  CiviEvent was really designed for event registrations, and there are some differences between an event registration and a ticket purchase, but we found that CiviEvent gave us enough flexibility to use it for ticket sales -- especially with price sets.

Unfortunately we have discovered a syntax problem in the 4.2.3 upgrade script which will cause the upgrade to fail under certain circumstances. We are pulling this release and will replace it with 4.2.4 shortly.

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

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

This issue will not affect your site if you installed a new CiviCRM site using 4.2.3.
