In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] USER ID = 0 when Board Member user type setThanks for clarifying pmk. Unfortunately, what you’re dealing with could be caused by a number of different things.
First, I would try disabling all the plugins except for Nonprofit Board Management and switching to a default theme. Then see if you still get the error.
Second, I would make sure that the code being run is only done in the WordPress admin, since most of our plugin’s code does not run on the frontend of the website.
Third, I would try a few different hooks in WordPress to see if this changes the result. If the rest of the plugin’s code is working then it means the current user ID is being output, so this might indicate it’s not available on the hook being used.
Fourth, there is a bug in WordPress that has to do with user levels and custom roles. It seems unlikely to be the cause here, but it’s worth looking into. You can find that at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16841.
Let me know how these steps work out and we can go from there.
Good luck.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] USER ID = 0 when Board Member user type setThanks for reaching out pmk and I’m sorry you’re running into issues. Can you give me an idea of where you’re seeing the user ID as 0? And when you talk about setting them to a “normal” user, are you referring to setting their role to administrator, editor, author, etc.?

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Email – All Members or Selected Committees?Thanks for reaching out Bob. The ability to email board members through the system is something that has come up before and is definitely on our radar. That said, there is no fixed timeline for adding the feature.
Sorry about that, and good luck with the plugin. Let us know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Show "Not Going"Hi Kelsey,
Depending on your comfort with PHP, you should be able to write something into the functions.php file of your theme by using the available hooks. You can adjust the available columns by using the ‘winbm_event_columns’ filter. Then you can display your additional column by utilizing the ‘manage_board_events_posts_custom_column’ action. You can see both of these at nonprofit-board-management/includes/class-board-events.php.
If you’ve never worked with custom post type admin columns before this article should be really helpful: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/06/27/custom-columns-for-custom-post-types.
As I’m sure you know, I’d encourage you not to make changes directly to the plugin files, since any changes will be erased when the plugin is updated.
Good luck and if possible, it would be great if you posted the code when you’re done in case anyone else is looking for this functionality.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Show "Not Going"Hi Kelsey,
As of now there isn’t a way to list who isn’t going on the Board Events page. We did this to keep the page more simple and easy to scan. If we hear that feedback enough we’ll definitely consider adding it in future releases.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Show "Not Going"Hi Kelsey,
What list page are you referring to? Right now the folks who are not going only show when you click on that specific event.

I’ve never seen the error before, but have read that it comes up sometimes depending on the server configuration.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] FAST CGI ErrorHi Kelsey,
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the plugin. The FAST CGI error you’re seeing is most likely related to your hosting. Have you reached out to them with the issue? If not, it’s probably worth reaching out to them and providing the exact error you’re receiving. They should be able to help out.
Let us know how it goes and if you have any other questions.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Member sortSince we haven’t heard from you in a little bit I’m going to mark this as resolved. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to let us know.
Thanks.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Member sortIt’s possible to list in the order you specified on the public facing portion of the website, but it would require a decent amount of coding knowledge in PHP. You’d do this by copying the file at wp-content/plugins/nonprofit-board-management/templates/list-board-members.php to your website’s active theme. Then you would need to customize the file to reorder the board members based on job title.
As far as listing the committee members separately, you can see who is on that specific committee by viewing the edit screen for that committee in the admin. If you’re looking to show those members on the public facing website, that would also require a decent amount of coding skill.
I hope that’s helpful. Let us know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Member sortThanks for reaching out @pjd. Can you give me an idea of where you want the sort to occur, such as on the public facing website or in the admin? Also, what do you mean exactly by according to position on the board? Where would that position be pulled from?
Have a good one.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Display on the page?@wtp, No problem. For attachments, 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.
It is possible to use the Media section of WordPress, the potential issue you run into is that those files will be viewable by the public as long as they have the link and search engines may pick them up. That’s why we recommend using one of those external tools.
Good luck with everything and if you have a second we’d love it if you could leave a review.
Have a good one.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Display on the page?@wtp, sorry, I just realized I didn’t address the voting system. The voting system has absolutely been discussed and is on our list of potential additions. If more folks in the community ask for it, it would likely move it up on our priority list.
Thanks for the feedback.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Display on the page?@wtp, we are definitely considering integrating it directly within the plugin, and have already written up a code snippet for a shortcode to display all the board members on the front-end of the website. You can find it at https://gist.github.com/jg314/7442631.
If you take that code and place it in your theme’s functions.php file, then add the text “[list_board_members]” to one of your pages, the board members should show up.
I hope that’s helpful. Let me know if you have any questions about it at all.
