CiviCRM

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)

I'm currently in manila for a couple of days (leaving on 7th early morning). If there are folks in Manila who are using / planning to use CiviCRM (http://civicrm.org/) and would like to get together, please let me know via email (lobo at yahoo dot com). I'm staying at Makati (close to Ayala), so that area would be preferable. I'd prefer to meet on the evening of the 6th

Hey folks,

I have been struggling with an issue on my drupal/civicrm site and thought I'd resort to asking my local community for help. I'm using Drupal 5, clean urls, and civicrm 1.9 (with a module created for Kabissa). Basically, I'd like to create url aliases for many key civicrm functions, and then create menu items to link to those url aliases. I am running into difficulties because drupal with clean urls doesn't recognize questionmarks and ampersands in URLs, and civicrm requires them to display correctly.

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).

Hi folks. I've volunteered to implement a new website for a local non-profit [1] using Drupal and CiviCRM, including community forums, a custom event calendar, donations, fund raising support, etc. I'm looking to share experiences & advice with others using the same platform. Is there a group of Seattle-based non profit Drupal site developers already out there? Are there others doing similar work who are interested in brainstorming together, perhaps co-working, or sharing experiences online? Please drop me a line.

Hi Glad to find a churches group on here,

I just wanted to introduce myself and introduce a project I am working on. well I am Craig Bertrand...and this is the project...

We (The Missions Organization I work with) are starting a Christian Collaboration Community that will have the option to host civicrm for churches and other Christian groups and we will be trying to make civicrm "just work" for churches. We figure this solution should work for churches with no techie folks, or for those who just dont want to worry about maintaining a server and drupal/civicrm core.

Tonight's Austin Drupal meeting was the first I attended. And I enjoyed it. I'm especially glad to see follow-up meetings set for CiviCRM, Basic Drupal Installation, and Theming -- for this June.

As I said at the meeting, around the country there is interest on the part of public access and community media in Drupal.

Here is a website where some of this development is described:
www.pegspace.org

On this site, it mentions Manhattan Neighbohood Networks' work with CiviCRM.

And there we have it! The barebone skeleton of what could become a fabulous gizmo that takes all the different CRMs and provides consistent, drupal-like objects and interfaces for them.

One of the main ideas behind this module was to bring some consistency to how CRMs and drupal interact. Nothing is set in stone yet, but we picked a set of fieldnames that will remain consistent in drupal regardless of what cRM you are using.

Greetings from the Trellon Metaverse!

So, there's been some growing interest in this module and we're finally getting something to show you guys.

I've bloged about it over on the Trellon blog. Some juicy bits over there. What we really want to show everyone at this point is some really awesome abstraction and how it can be hopefully used(abused?) in the future to make some awesome sites and modules.

I registered civicrm.ca some time ago because it was available, and have just gotten around to setting up a basic 5.1 install with the links module on the community subdomain with the goal of having a directory of Canadian organization installs of Civicrm.

So - if you are a developer or site administrator of a Canadian organization using civicrm - please add yourself to the directory! I've left the registration open for now, but I'll probably have to moderate it when the new breed of drupal comment spammers discover me.
