CiviCRM

Seeking to add partners / team members to growing start-up.

We plan to be the preeminent host of VPS's for Drupal & CiviCRM. Not a one-size-fits-all solution, but an infrastructure optimized for these apps. True VPS with root access where you can install any software you want, and if you want Drupal, you'll get the best performance possible.

And sometimes we're just a Development shop disguised as a Hosting Company.

I've grown the company as far as I can on my own, now I need to grow the team. Seeking to fill two roles:

LAMP Administrator

A Drupal Developer/Administrator is responsible for:

• Installing the Drupal content management system using a provided UWS
  profile.
• Installing CiviCRM.
• Identifying and installing additional modules to meet client needs from
  UWS approved modules list
• Test and recommend new modules for addition to UWS approved modules list
• Modifying system configurations to meet client needs
• Troubleshooting & answering client support issues
• Upgrading Drupal & CiviCRM installations.
• Migrating website content from various sources into Drupal.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to sort through the various payment options and gateways. We have a need based to use Verisign/Payflow Pro as our payment gateway because some legacy software we have (iMis) will only integrate with that one option, but would also like to transition to CiviCRM, but after talking on the phone with PayPal have decided that what's currently listed as payment processor will not support Payflow Pro.

I would like to provide the ability for users to purchase more than one membership on a single page.

As I understand it now, they would have to create one at a time. one checkout for each membership.

I'm thinking about the poor soul who is tasked with signing up his department for memberships. He would want a shopping cart for memberships.

Any solutions? Ideas?

CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system that works very well with Drupal (as well as with Joomla! and stand-alone). Where Drupal concentrates on content management, CiviCRM shines at managing contact interactions. CiviCRM data can be accessed using some existing modules, but it would be great to see more robust support for accessing CiviCRM data using Views.

Does anyone have (or know of) experience integrating CiviCRM into a school portal (website), such that students and parents can self-manage their contact information for use by the school and/or school PTO?

Today in Newton Public Schools, we have 21 different school sites, with none of them sharing any user login or contact information between them. My vision is to integrate the 21 sites into a single instance of CiviCRM, so they can share user login and contact information across them.

We are planning on having a civicrm training either in NZ or AU. Tentative dates are last weekend of april or 1st week of May. More details on our blog at: http://civicrm.org/node/303

I am seeking a Drupal and/or CiviCRM developer in Alaska to do some contract work on a campaign. We will need someone who is a kick ass Drupal themer and module developer.

The ideal person would have:

* Proven delivery of public websites using Drupal
* Be extremely fluent in developing for/with Drupal, including ability to program modules and implement other customization
* Have experience with Organic Groups and CiviCRM
* Be well versed in developing using API's
* Be an expert in coding websites in a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) environment

After days of having a mild flu, it feels great to be back, ready to share another wonderful experience. This time it's gonna be more than Drupal.

Last Feb 5, lobo (aka Donald Lobo) invited for a p.i. at gdo/philippines. The next day, I met him at an establishment here in Makati, Philippines.

Very eager & happy to meet an active CiviCRM developer, I sat down with lobo and installed Drupal and CiviCRM 1.9 on the spot while drinking. (btw Thanks for the treat! ;D)

My friend whurley has launched an online poll to bring open source to the attention of politicians -- specifically, the presidential candidates. He, like many of us, is troubled by the recent calls for patent reform put forth by larger companies that may wind up blocking innovation and threatening open source-oriented companies and contractors.

You can view the poll here and vote for which candidate you believe is best for the open source community. (Don't worry: "None of them" is an option!)

Kurund and Lobo will be in New York City on Dec 19th / 20th. They have a potential space near Union Square for Dec 19th that we could use if we get enough folks interested. They will tailor the session based on the needs of the folks who sign up :)

If you are interested please send Lobo an email (lobo at yahoo dot com) along with ideas on what you'd like the session to be about. They'd love to get some user feedback, comments and critique of CiviCRM. They'll spend some time explaining a few things coming in CiviCRM v2.0

IATS is a subsidiary of Ticketmaster that offers an excellent way for non-profits in Canada to get transaction processor services - you don't even need a merchant account, and it's relatively inexpensive. It's a step up from a service like 'canadahelps' because you can integrate it into your site and get the donor data into a CRM automatically, and can also be used for e-commerce (in theory).

Dave Greenberg led a Round Table discussion for CiviCRM Users and Developers at the Bay Area Drupal Camp this past weekend.

a. PHP code using a CiviCRM API to call a webpage
3) Creating of a customized Drupal Theme for our website.
4) Creating custom forms for email submissions.
5) Allowing us to use JPEG thumbnails for flash video embeds

I've created initial snapshots for CiviCluster and CiviConference for
users of Drupal 5. It may take up to 24 hours for them to appear in the
Drupal.org release system, but they are already in the DRUPAL-5 CVS branch.

CiviCluster will rapidly identify duplicate contacts and walk users
though merging them. CiviCluster supports CiviCRM 1.6 and 1.7 (except
for CiviEvent). CiviCluster will be updated shortly to support CiviEvent
schema changes.

We are excited to announce that our 1.7 Beta release is now available for download. This release features the new CiviEvent component, which provides integrated event registration and management, along with a new "Contact Dashboard" which gives constituents a consolidated view of their subscriptions, contributions, event registrations and more.

I have a client who wanted to display some google maps using data stored in CiviCRM. I looked at the various projects that mash up CiviCRM and Google maps and the GMap module looked like the right place to start, but the location/civinode/views mix that looked promising didn't pan out. I also noticed the discussion around 'mapthing' below, but that seemed to have died.

To my dear New York City, Drupalistas and soon to be Druaplistas,

We are two weeks away from DrupalCamp NYC 2, 20 & 21 Jan. A few of us have been thinking what if we concentrated our efforts on a single project instead of working solely on individual projects? I'm not talking about a classroom setting, but a project (ie install profile, module stuff and theme) to educate each other?

Well here is your opportunity to change the future of one lucky group. Big or small, non-profit or community organization... If you know of a project that can use the assistance of a Drupal site, we need you to nominate them. The lucky organization will also get one year of CivicSpace on Demand (hosted and managed install of Drupal 4.7 and CiviCRM + EMAIL)!

Hi,

I've also posted the line 167 issue described below to the CiviCRM Community Mailing List Archives by placing the issue here.

When I go to my Drupal site, I'm able to log in and can click on "administer" with no problems. However, when I click on "modules", I get a completely white screen except for the following one liner at the top:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/.chagall/libby12/wellnesslibrary.com/sites/default/civicrm.settings.php on line 167

We've started documenting the technical details and mysteries behind CiviCRM in our blog. You can check out details at http://civicrm.org/blog. A complete listing of all the articles is on our wiki at: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/CiviCRM+Architecture+Blog

CiviCRM 1.5: A Free and Open Source eCRM Solution

We are pleased to announce the latest release of CiviCRM - version 1.5.

Special thanks to the dedicated folks who contributed to this release by testing the alpha and beta revisions - and to everyone in the community who provided new ideas, feedback (especially critical feedback), and patches.

CiviCRM is the first open source and freely downloadable constituent relationship management solution. CiviCRM is web-based, internationalized, and designed specifically to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups.

We are happy to announce that our 1.5 Beta release is now available for download. This release includes CiviMember - a new membership management component, significant memory and speed optimizations, and Search Builder - a new tool for building complex search queries.

Other release highlights include:
* Log and display who last updated a contact and when
* Include mapping links in Profile search results and details
* Optional CAPTCHA validation for Profile forms
* Generate mailing labels
* Attach photos, documents and other files to contacts

..You can read the roadmap release summary here:

For people not on the mailing list, we just announced an alpha release of CiviCRM 1.5. Here is the announcement text:

An alpha release of v1.5 is now available for folks to download, review and test. Download the appropriate tarball from the "latest snapshot" page here: http://downloads.openngo.org/civicrm/latest_snapshot/

At this stage, we would primarily encourage folks with experience installing and using CiviCRM to try it out and help us move forward to a beta release by reporting bugs and issues here: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence//x/BB8

A database upgrade script is included - so you can test the release with a fresh install and/or by upgrading A COPY OF an existing 1.4 installation. You can follow the install and upgrade instructions posted on the wiki for v1.4 - but be sure and check the new sample settings file for additional settings options (civicrm/civicrm.settings.php.sample).

We've been fairly hard at work in CiviCRM land resolving all the issues related to v1.5 which can be found here:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requ...

the CiviCRM 1.5 feature list is available at:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/CiviCRM+v1.5

We are fairly pleased with the stability of v1.4 and hope to continue the tradition of high quality releases meeting the needs of the community with v1.5. Personally I think that v1.5 has the most feature additions / improvements since v1.0beta :)

Now is a great time for folks to take a look at whats coming in v1.5 and make sure that we have not missed any important things / issues. If so, please do start a discussion on our mailing list

As far as I can tell, our site www.forestlake.ca is currently the only working example of asterisk drupal integration. I would love to be disabused of this notion, so if there are other working sites out there, please let us know.

At any rate you can read about the "Forest Lake Telephone Company" at this posting on drupal .org: http://drupal.org/node/59187 or you can just register and try it out on the forest lake site. Go to : http://forestlake.ca/forestlake/?q=node/466 for instructions on trying it out.

The good news in all this is that I have an asterisk server all ready and working with Drupal. If you want to install and test the asterisk integration module developed by Malthus, you can do so by downloading and installing the asterisk module (http://drupal.org/project/asterisk) on your site. (Important, as far as I know, the asterisk integration module only works so far on 4.6. I do not know what plans Malthus might have to upgrade).

Recently went through an import of 2.4 million voter file records into CiviCRM. Went through a lot of testing, sharing some preliminary information here on things we discovered. The 'we' used in this document refers to me and other resources within my company, Trellon. Working with recent releases of CiviCRM 1.4.

First, default CiviCRM distros are not suitable for working with massive numbers of records. After importing the 2.4 million records, and before adding any custom fields, the main and advanced search interfaces became unusable. Trying to save information into a contact record became nearly impossible. The reasons for this were myriad and included database design, data access queries, as well as the hardware we were working with initially.

Hi Folks,
I'm just about to start using drupal for our magazine website, and want to know if we might also be able to transition to CiviCRM for subscription management.
Is anyone using it this way - or for someting similar?
What are you using it for, and how well is it working for you?
In Peace,
Sam
