In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Front End Interface for Board MembersHi Rick,
Thanks a lot for the comment. The best person to talk to over here is Jonathan (he actually did all of the programming for the Board Management plugin) but he’s out of the office this week.
I’ve already flagged this for him so he’ll be back in touch with you once he’s back in the office.
We’ll talk to you soon.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Sort MembersHi @manfredk,
I hope you were able to make progress sorting the board members. Since we haven’t heard back we’re going to mark this as resolved. If you still have questions don’t hesitate to reach out.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Sort MembersHi @manfredk,
Thanks for reaching out. You can reorder the list of board members manually by tapping into the ‘winbm_users_serving’ filter which holds an array of all the serving board members. Of course, you’ll need a solid understanding of PHP coding and WordPress filters to make this happen.
You can currently see the method used to get the board members along with the filter by starting at line 773 of the nonprofit-board-management.php file.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Editors who are also board membersGood luck @texrat. Let me know if you have any questions.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Adding community members to committeesI think I’ve got it @texrat. There are a couple of options I can think of here. The first is to add the community members as board members in the system. It will list them with the rest of the board members, but it will also provide them with all the functionality they need.
The second option is to add the capabilities to an existing user role, such as the “Subscriber” role. This would require some coding, but you can see the capabilities that board members have by looking at the nonprofit-board-management.php file in the plugin.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Adding community members to committeesHi @texrat, thanks for reaching out with this topic as well. Can you explain a little more what you mean when you talk about listing all members of committees on the site? Are you referring to the front-end of the website, or the WordPress admin? Are you saying you’d prefer to add another role for community members?
For the chair and vice chair, adding that functionality has been discussed. If we hear that same feedback from a lot of folks I could see us including that in the future.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Editors who are also board membersHi @texrat,
Thanks for letting us know you also need this functionality. I’m not sure if you’re a programmer yourself, or are working with a programmer, but you should be able to provide Board Members the same capabilities as Editors by using a combination of the add_cap() method (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap) and the capabilities listed at https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor. That would allow Board Members to also contribute on your website.
Good luck and thanks again for reaching out. Let me know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Simple Razoo Donations] Multiple ticketsThanks for reaching out @mhynes. There isn’t any specific customization for the “enter any amount donation line”, other than that visitors can specify how much they want to give.
As far as tickets, the donation widget really isn’t meant to be used for ticket sales. It’s offers a way to give a one-time donation of a specified amount. There isn’t a quantity field for something like the number of tickets.
I hope that’s helpful. Good luck with getting everything setup.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] repeating events/events on public site@mizike2, unfortunately not at the moment. If you’re looking for all the events to be public, I’d encourage you to use one of the event plugins I listed instead of our board management system. Our tool is meant to be a private tool for the organization and the board. I also know that at least the Pro version of The Events Calendar has recurring events.
Good luck with everything.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] repeating events/events on public siteThanks for reaching out @mizike2. Unfortunately, right now there is not an option to create recurring events or to show the events on the public side of the website.
If you’re looking for a front-facing calendar, I would encourage you to check out the Sugar Events Calendar Lite plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/sugar-calendar-lite/) or The Events Calendar plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/).
Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] USER ID = 0 when Board Member user type setHi pmk, I’m sorry to hear you weren’t able to figure out the specific cause. Can you give me an idea of how to replicate the issue so we can take a look?

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Interface to WordPress pagesThanks for reaching out here as well hdtv-entertainment. For private documents we recommend using a separate tool like Google Drive, Dropbox or Box to host files, then link to the files from the Board Resources section.
If you’re looking for a plugin to use directly on WordPress, you may want to check out WordPress Download Manager at http://wordpress.org/plugins/download-manager/. It’s a popular document management system that allows you to upload private files.
Good luck.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Google AppsThanks for reaching out hdtv-entertainment. Right now you can utilize Google Drive for document storage, then provide links to the documents in the Resources section of our plugin. That said, I totally agree that more seamless integration would be great. There isn’t a timeline for adding document management, but it’s easily our most requested feature.
For document creation and project management, we likely wouldn’t create those only because there are so many good solutions that already exist. Google Docs is great for creating files, and I’d recommend looking at Asana for project management. Both are fantastic tools.
