By lobo Filed under CiviCRMOne of the common needs of a contribution or event registration system is to track what campaign that transaction is destined from and what link originated the transaction. This allows organizations to calculate what links / web sites / advertising / mailings are most effective and use that information to influence their current or future campaigns. Some organizations (e.g. wikimedia foundation) use a three level tracking scheme: Campaign, Appeal and Fund, while other organizations might choose to use only one tracking field.

By michaelmcandrew Filed under DocumentationLunch time of day two stands out as a high point of the book sprint. We'd spent the first day working relatively independently - brain-dumping the chapters about areas of CiviCRM that we knew the best and by Tuesday, it was clear the chapters making up our introductory section needed a re-think.

By lcdweb Filed under DocumentationLast week I had the privilege of joining 10 other CiviCRM enthusiasts, along with a facilitator (Adam Hyde from FLOSS Manuals) for the CiviCRM Book Sprint. It was a fantastic experience on many different levels. More than anything else, it was great to meet in person and interact face-to-face with members of the core team and active members in the community—many of whom I’ve had forum-based contact with for several years.

By dharmatech Filed under CiviCRMThe current way to track Households (HH) in CiviCRM is not easy. Over the last few weeks DharmaTech has been brainstorming how to better manage HH's and we had a chance at the CiviCRM developer camp to bounce ideas off of the core team as well as other developers in the community which was really helpful. What follows are our ideas to start the discussion.

By jalama Filed under CiviEvent, CiviCRM, DrupalWith CiviCRM 2.2.3 and a patch to the Drupal Date API CiviCRM will be adding integration with one more Drupal Module, Calendar. This means you will be able to display CiviCRM events in Drupal calendars and decide what events are displayed by using Views filters in the same manner as you would any View.

Firstly, congratulations all the book sprinters. You did well. I'll be having a good read of it this weekend.
Before I delve into some code I'd like to give you my motivation for doing what I'm about to describe.
I need image uploading, ease of use and consistency. I also don't want to bother with maintaining 2 versions of fckeditor. I knew it shouldn't be too hard to get it working across to 2 systems and to be honest it wasn't. It took a little more to find out what the Image assist module needed though.
A nice feature of fckeditor is that we get a nice button in the editor toolbar instead of the link below the textarea as it would normally be. To get fckeditor and image assist working in drupal together you will need to copy img_assist_fckeditor.js from fckeditor module folder into img_assist folder. If you get a white empty popup screen then you have missed this step out.
On to some actual coding. Please make sure your drupal modules are all working before trying this for your own sanity's sake.

The Book Sprint is over - and we met our goal: Zero to Book in 5 days.
Reflecting on the process, I am incredibly moved by the dedication and commitment which everyone on the sprint team brought to the process. People came together with a rich mix of experience and perspectives - and an amazing spirit of collaboration. It was a personal honor for me to be a member of this incredible team!
You can read the book online (in your browser) at:
>> http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm
and you can download a PDF version of the complete book by clicking the Make PDF icon in the upper left corner of that screen.
I am quite hopeful that this book will be a great resource both for current members of the CiviCRM community and for people who are evaluating whether CiviCRM might be a useful tool for their organizations. Please post your feedback and suggestions on the Documentation and Book section of the community forums.
