1. Add Email Alerts & Notifications Preferences to My Profile SD508/599/600/601

   This could be allowing people to request an email notification for an activity or course when it becomes available. It could include notifications to committee chairs when leaders list activities sponsored by that committee. Please describe below what you'd specifically like to see as far as email notifications go that would help you sign up for the activities you want or help you manage your committee etc.

2. Add Title Choices to Routes & Places for Use with Activities GH1476

   To make it easier to better title activities where the route place has broadly varying options and alternatives, provide a list of alternate location names that may be used.

   Specifically, when scheduling an activity allow the leader to choose an alternate title from an "Alternate Route/Place Title" list that is populated from a route/place "Route/Place Titles for Activity Titles" list.

   Here's an example:

   For a scramble of "Silver, Tinkham & Abiel Peaks," https://www.mountaineers.org/explore/routes-places/silver-tinkham-abiel-peaks, the activity title currently is and by default after implementing this idea would be:

   Alpine Scramble - Silver, Tinkham & Abiel Peaks

   Alternate activity titles with a choice of alternative route/place titles could be:
   Alpine Scramble - Silver Peak
   Alpine Scramble - Tinkham Peak
   Alpine Scramble - Abiel Peak
   Alpine Scramble - Silver & Tinkham Peaks
   Alpine Scramble - Silver & Abiel Peaks
   Alpine Scramble - Tinkham & Abiel Peaks

   One of the important functions of our Routes & Places is ensuring that we don't have multiple Mountaineers groups at the same place so this allows that conflict check to happen but also allows leaders to be more specific about where they are going and have the activity title accurately reflect that.

   -------------------- Additional Info ----------------------------

   An activity’s title is made from the activity template title and the route/place title. All of these titles are meant to be brief, simple and consistent across our website. If and when we implement the alternate route/place name feature, we have to keep the alternate titles brief, simple and consistent too. And the Route/Place title is only a geographic name. It purposefully conveys nothing about what one might do there. Any alternate route/place titles must too be just geographic names. We leave the what we're going to do to the to the Activity Template and activity's Summary.

   The places for creativity about everything you plan to do go in the activity’s Summary and Leader’s Notes. Also remember that we show the first bit of the activity’s Summary in the activity search listings, so it is very much like a subtitle (lots more words allowed!).

   See the attached image file of the an activity search result to see how this looks "in action."

   We now have the ability to have alternate titles for routes/places that have a couple different destinations but all use the same access and thus we wouldn’t want two different Mountaineers groups there on the same day.

   An example is Snow & Gem Lakes. This trip can now simply be titled Gem Lake or Snow & Gem Lakes. Or if you are only climbing Tinkham and Silver Peaks you can now pick just those two peaks even though the listing has Silver, Abiel & Tinkham Peaks.

   The ability to switch to an alternate title is in the Route/Place tab when you are in the activity edit form while scheduling or editing an activity. It’s the same place you’d edit the date or choose a new route/place for the activity.

   Please note that this alternate title is not supposed to replace the summary. For example the title is not Gem Lake Summer Swim. The “summer swim” part is activity specific so should still remain in the summary and/or leader’s notes section of the activity.

   If you know of routes/places where we need to add alternate titles please email the name of and link to the route/place along with your suggested alternative titles to us at info@mountaineers.org. Note that you also have the option to add these alternate titles when you are requesting a new route/place online.

4. My Activities...More speed, please GH3433

   It is taking such a long time now to post and edit activities, load pages, etc. I spend a lot of time waiting after pushing "Save" and "Edit" buttons. Sometimes, the system times out. Other times, it's not clear if pushing the Save and Edit buttons even worked. It is 10-15 seconds here and there, but it adds up when one is doing a lot of editing, posting, roster clean up, etc. Thank you.

   We just made several changes aimed at improving website speed, particularly for loading the My Activities pages and searches like Find Activities.

   For the My Activities, the page header and current/future activities should now load immediately (worst case in a few seconds). “Loading” is displayed while the past activities are being compiled. How long it takes to display them depends on how many there are, but load times should be much faster now.

   To view your My Activities page, you might also need to refresh that page. With all the improvements, it’s probably also a good idea to clear your browser’s cache and then reload your My Activities page.

   Please add a comment here if you’re having any issues or if the response time is still very slow. And please include the details: (1) a link to the page and (2a) how long it took to load that page (use the stopwatch on your computer or mobile device) and/or (2b) what you dis on a page and how long it took to complete (e.g. edit a roster record, run a bulk process, etc.)

   Thanks!

5. Develop functionality for Activity Programs and Outings/Combos SD154/GH1639

   This is functionality would be much like what we have for courses and would be for activity programs like Explorers and Venturing Crew, activity outings like Yosemite Climbing and "combo" activities like Hike & Stewardship and Cathedral Rock & Mount Daniel. We need to be able to group a few activities (and maybe a couple lodge stays) under one "umbrella" Outing and use a "manage registration" style feature to register for them and the Outing as a whole like we do for courses.

   We just completed editing and publishing the award badges that existed on our old website. They are at Membership > Badges, https://www.mountaineers.org/membership/badges/award-peak-pin-badges.

   There are two for which we need badge images. We should have those by the end of March.

   We’ll next work on adding badges; including content, images and roster; for our organization and branch service awards. We do not yet have this scheduled.

   Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions or find anything that needs corrected.

   Thanks to all you helped us get these done!

7. Add Message Board/Forum Capability

   Would be great to have a space where leaders could put up an activity idea and find out if other leaders might be interested in joining up for key swaps, car camps, etc. Leaders could ask for anyone's recent experience with a particular trail or trailhead. On the same space, members could put up a trip that they'd like to do and see if they can interest a leader in doing it; barring that, to find other members who might like to do it privately.

   Originally titled: Message board for leaders and members wanting to coordinate an activity

   Other uses include general discussion, discussion in committees and courses, and a gear marketplace.

   Note that significant discovery is needed to determine our needs and wants for form/message board capbility and where to integrate it into our website (e.g. general message boards, carpooling to activities and events, courses, committees).

8. Printer-friendly Roster Page with Contact Info for Leaders SD319

   In preparing for an activity, leaders often want to bring a long a printout of their activity roster, including participant names, mobile phone, email, and emergency contact info. Currently we have to export this info to excel and spend time removing unnecessary columns and rows and doing a lot of formatting to produce this. Offer a printer-friendly page that formats this info (and leaves out the unnecessary info like cancelled registrations, etc.).

9. Branches and Committees self-maintain content on their pages

   Allow Branches and Committees to self-maintain their pages. Committees can now maintain a brief description, but it is limited to text and cannot contain any formatting, images, links, or other useful stuff. There is currently a fairly long description for each Branch, but it is too static and, as far as I can tell, maintained by the PC. With more control of Branch page(s) on the club website, the need for Branches to have the separate websites is minimized.

   Committee pages have a new look! Go check them out and start adding content to the rich text description and summary. You can also create a folder and then create a whole new webpage with extra content that you can link to . Check out Tacoma Sea Kayaking, Olympia Hiking, Everett Scrambling, Seattle climbing as examples where some content has been added. Committee admins should be able to edit and committee members can now delete and archive content. Check out the Tech 2.3 Blog on the homepage for more web updates. Contact member services for additional questions about updating your committee pages. Additionally there are new links on the Getting Started pages which link back to branch communities and from the Learn menu to divert people to get plugged into their branches.

10. MailTo button on Rosters and other web email improvements GH1123

    The email button on the roster page is pretty much useless because of the crippled form based email that is built in. Add another button with a MailTo link behind it that feeds the default email client with the list of selected email address in the header.

    That's basically the same functionality we had under IMIS--it was robust, immensely useful, and the necessary programming is trivial.

    In Progress  ·  AdminJeff Bowman (Associate Director of Information Technology, The Mountaineers) responded

    Overall Status: Phases 1 to 4 are complete, and Phase 5 is in progress.

    
    

    Phase 1

    - Completed Jul 2022

    - We implemented nine items aimed at improving our website’s performance, three more than we had previously identified. They have resulted in a modest increase in our website’s speed/response time, and should significantly reduce, if not nearly eliminated 502 and 503 "timeout" errors.

    
    

    Phase 2

    - Completed Aug/Sep 2022

    - We migrated/updated our core content types from archetype to dexterity type. While it will not directly lead to any website performance improvements, this is an important step that gets us closer to a suite of updates that will give us a significant website performance increase.

    
    

    Phase 3

    - Completed Feb 2023

    - We migrated our web forms from PFG (PloneFormGen) to EasyForm. Web forms include feedback surveys, leader applications, incident reports, etc. Like migrating our core content types, this will not directly lead to any website performance improvements, this is an important step that gets us closer to a suite of updates that will give us a significant website performance increase.

    
    

    Phase 4

    - Completed Mar 2023

    - Upgrade our website platform from Plone 5.1 to 5.2 and Python 2 to 3, and update our web server to the latest architecture and operating system. These are the upgrades that will bring significant improvements to our website performance.

    
    

    Phase 5

    – Planned for Mar-Apr 2023

    - Benchmarking and optimizing our web server and website's performance as needed.

12. Allow Members on Waitlist to sign up for Additional Outings

    The system currently does not allow members to sign up for more than one outing. If you are on a waitlist, particularly if you are third or more on that list, I think the system should allow you to also sign up for another trip as backup. It seems unfair to force members to give up a potential spot on their preferred trip only to confirm on less preferred trip simply because of the system. Thank you.

13. Make separate feedback form for instructors at field trips GH1865

    Feedback form is identical for both participants and instructors at a field trip - the questions should be tailored differently.

    We had a separate instructor feedback form for course listings only and now we have a separate form for instructors at field trips rather than the same form as participants.

    We are now gathering info about whether leaders felt prepared for their role in addition to the regular safety and curriculum feedback info.

14. Add Filters, Instructor Opt In/Out, and Badges to Committee Rosters

    (1) Add filters to top of the page--admins, committee members, position, leaders, instructors, badges and lookup by name.

    (2) Add an instructor opt in/out checkbox (see http://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/34126369-volunteer-instructor-recruitment-request-opt-in).

    (3) Add four badge columns to the download so you can see course badges, skill badges, leader badges and instructor badges. And maybe a fifth column that shows all other badges.

    Notes/observations:

    Within Committee rosters, currently you can "Sort" members by group, but not "Filter" them. The "Sort" tool is not very helpful, as many members have multiple roles (Leader, Instructor, Committee member, etc). When I click on "Groups" to sort my committee's roster, it sorts them as follows:
    1. Members who are Admins, Instructors, and Committee members
    2. Members who are Admins, Instructors, and Leaders
    3. Members who are Admins, Instructors, Leaders and Committee members
    4. Members who are Instructors only
    5. Members who are Instructors and Committee members
    6. Members who are Instructors and Leaders
    7. Members who are Instructors, Leaders and Committee members
    8. Members who are Leaders only.
    It's a major nuisance when trying to compile a list of just the Instructors, or Leaders.
    If there was a "Filter" tool available that could display only members who are Leaders, it would be much more user-friendly.
    The "Filter" function was available back in Website version 1.0 - can we bring it back?

15. Create a course roster export that contains field trip and trip result statuses for all students and corresponding activities SD665

    Have a roster download that not only shows whether the participants are signed up for the required field trips but also be able to see all the activities they are registered for to ensure that snowshoe students are getting their snowshoes, climbers are getting on climbs and kayakers are getting registered for kayak trips.

    This allows leaders to pre-emptively catch students who may be behind or not registered and send them an email ahead of time instead of struggling to get makes ups scheduled.

    It would also be good to see everyone who got marked as Needs Improvement/Failed in one place so we can email them to schedule a make up.

    This download would have the information that is in the "Review" link located next to each students name in current course rosters but show it for all students in one combined download.

    For courses that have fewer requirements we are also hoping to create a course management tool that allows for some more bulk review/graduating directly from the website (see http://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/34401673-course-activity-review-tool-for-courses-with-2-3-a) . However for courses with many requirements and experience trips we have to have this in a download form rather than viewable roster otherwise its too hard to view on our pages.

16. Feature Request - Expiring Badge Notification ~SFOnly

    As a user I would like to be notified prior to my badge expiring so that I can arrange to meet requirements or arrange for an extension given that I have a badge that has an expiration date. The problem to avoid is people losing their privileges without notice and being unpleasantly surprised.

    Then, when the expiration date is within 90 and 30 days from expiring:

    • A notification of what badge is about to expire and when will be sent to me (User) 90 days and 30 days prior to the expiration date.

    • A notification will be sent to the Branch/Activity committee members 30 days prior to the expiration date listing the:

      • User’s Name
      • User’s email address
      • The Badge that is about to expire and its
      • Expiration date

    Exceptions to this rule would be badges with no expiration date attached to them.

    Examples of where this would be useful include
    - Intermediate Climbing Student Status: privileges to sign up for Intermediate climbs
    - Trip Leader Status: privileges to post trips
    - Instructor Status: privileges to instruct

    Completed Apr 2022. And email will be sent for all course, skill, and QYL (Qualified Youth Leader) badges that have a duration when the badge holder's expiration date is within 90 days and then 30 days.

17. Create a new course content type better suited for our single seminar courses SD296

    Create a type of content that is similar to courses but is more useful for the once a year, one-off seminars that we do. It would be connected to a route/place like activities but have course graduation function or the ability to add badges to it and mostly would be good for things like winter scramble seminars or pool sessions that are activities that have learning attached to them but aren't full fledged courses.

    We just launched the new Seminars & Clinics (aka single activity courses) features. To learn more,

    visit our tech blog: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/2-5-seminars-clinics-search-youth

18. Make Header Only Toggle Between Publishing/Programs on Click GH2872

    With the most recent 3.1 update to mountaineers.org, the header changed so that it's "responsive" when you mouseover either "The Mountaineers" or "Mountaineers Books". In the past, you had to click on one to toggle, and now the header menu will change if you mouseover (either on purpose or on accident).

    As a super-user, this is frustrating because I often end up in the wrong environment on accident then have to revisit the header to get back to the proper menu items.

    Please change it back to swap only on clicks.
