A new aspirant experience update form has been added. This is a more intuitive form which shows the current requirements for ordinary membership (as collected from the application form to join the Club) and a clear set of fields where evidence of new experience can be built up.
Once all requirements are met, the membership secretary will review the evidence and confirm upgrade from aspirant to ordinary member.
The final phase of GDPR compliance is in place. When members leave the club, their personal data is deleted and an audit trail recorded.
A new entry for managing committee meetings has been added to the ASC admin panel in the dashboard.
The date/time, link and agenda items can be editing in the dashboard (by Committee Admins). This avoids having to edit any raw html code on the page.
A major upgrade of the member management system has been completed.
This affects:
The old, heavy-weight, photo viewer has been abandoned and replaced by a new lean responsive viewer, which is better and faster on mobile devices.
The new viewer is able to restrict access to the Club's photos to members only, helping to protect image theft. The public page can see the list of galleries in the ASC Trips album, showcasing all the exciting places members have explored, but not the photos themselves.
Members add their photos to a trip gallery using the Add Photo Gallery in the My Account section of the footer. The galleries are next added to the ASC Trips album.
The new viewer can combine photos together from several members to create a team gallery - by using the exact same Trip Title.
With the progressive move to a new site format, both the members area and the committee area are changed.
For the committee , it brings the rather diverse resources into a single tabbed page.
For the members area, it moves some of the committee info into members.
The whole set of information for grants has been moved into an isolated area. This is in preparation prior to moving the ASC Grants to a new home, outside of the Alpine Ski Club.
When grants moves, it will be replaced by some information about the new Grants and where to apply.
The history of the ASC Grants and its importance to the Club will be created in a new history section in the About Us page.
The member's contact list has been completely rewritten. It is now very fast and gives access to members' details that are shared with other members.
Emails are available for all members, but members may choose whether to disclose their phone numbers or address details.
1) This is a major re-focus on navigation for members.
When a member logs in, they are now taken to a dedicated club-home page (for members only) , with a focus on the most useful tasks they may want to do. Access is via large buttons for better use on mobile devices.
These actions include Events, Docs, Media, Admin or Member's list.
For committee members, club-home page has a prominent link to the committee-home area - meetings, etc.
The login system has been completely rewritten.
There is close integration for both normal login (username & password) or login by email. Both options are available on the same login form.
Login uses a visually stunning page, with a standard Wordpress login form, branded to the ASC style.
A key element of the new login is it automatically redirects the member to the club-home page, where all key functions are clearly accessible, particularly on mobile devices.
