1. Schedule Auto Email for Activities/Events

   I like to hold off on sending emails until the 1-2 days before and the registration has been closed. These emails include things like my personal number, weather conditions, and overall serve as a reminder. Most people find accessing an email from a phone easier than accessing it from the website (and I don't want to include my phone number on postings).

   Sometimes the ideal time to send an email conflicts with other activities (ie I might be leading a conditioning hike or doing a race the night before a morning run). To get around this, I will sometimes send an email 2-3 days before, but then new people join and I don't get a chance to email them before the event.

   It would be great if I could input the email into the activity somewhere, schedule a time to send, it would auto-send on that specific date/time, then get send to any additional registrants who sign up after the originally scheduled time.

2. Difficulty Label Changes

   The long-form of this proposal with better formatting and screenshots is here:
   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vef3Nw-ulHzJdeKUhYSv95PX7FcAcigM7R2z6H5tn8g/edit?usp=sharing

   This is a copy-paste and loses formatting:

   ==========================

   Problem
   All trips posted have a “Difficulty” rating and a “Leader Rating” value, but trip listings only display the Difficulty rating. Sometimes the difficulty of a trip is indicated by the combination of the difficulty field and the trip template. For example, an Intermediate Snowshoe is posted using an “Intermediate Snowshoe” template and will have a difficulty label to indicate how strenuous the trip is expected to be. Other activities, such as Cross-Country Skiing, indicate the trip difficulty solely through the difficulty label.

   There are some major problems with the website’s current approach to difficulty labels.

   There is a global list of difficulty labels for all activities
   Each place listing can have (and usually does have) a default value for difficulty. This means for places that support multiple kinds of activities, there will be multiple different labels here for each activity.
   This field auto-populates with the default for the place. Because it has a default, the trip leader is not required to look at or change this field and in the overwhelming number of cases, does not. This means that the trip will be listed with a bunch of confusing, irrelevant difficulty labels that participants find extremely hard to reason about.

   Other times, the default value is “Varies” and that gets carried through. In many many cases, using the default difficulty value is incorrect.

   Proposal
   I propose some changes that will better set our leaders up for success:
   Restrict Difficulty Values: Instead of maintaining a global list of difficulty labels, tie the list of possible difficulty values either to the trip template or the activity type. This way when the trip leader selects the field, they will only be given options relevant to the activity type.

   Activity Template
   Labels
   Day Hike
   Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
   Alpine Scramble
   Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5
   Winter Scramble
   Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5, Winter Scramble
   Cross-Country Ski
   G-XC1-4 Groomed, U-XC1-4 Ungroomed
   Basic Snowshoe
   Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
   Intermediate Snowshoe
   Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
   Backcountry Ski
   M1 Intermediate, M2 Advanced, M2G Advanced Glacier, M3 Expert, M3G Expert Glacier
   Bikepacking
   Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous
   Basic Rock Climb
   Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5
   Basic Glacier Climb
   Strenuous 1-5, Technical 1-5
   Sea Kayak
   Sea Kayak I-VI
   Trail Running
   Easy, Moderate, Strenuous, Very Strenuous, Ultra, Advanced Ultra 1, Advanced Ultra 2

   Opt 1 - Template: Internally, this would mean that the template object would need a new field called “Difficulty Tags” (or something) that would include all of the possible difficulties. When creating a trip, the “Difficulty” field would work the same as it does today, except that the list of tags you are allowed to add is restricted to the possible difficulties from the activity template, rather than the global list it looks at today.

   Opt 2 - Activity Type: The above would require each activity template to have the difficulty field set the same. For example, all three Snowshoe activity templates would require you to go in and set the difficulty values to the same labels for each template. It might be more convenient to leverage the “Activity Type” field to get the list of possible labels. In that way, since all three snowshoe templates are already marked as “Snowshoeing” activity types, you would just need to associate “Snowshoeing” with the relevant tags to get the validation, and you would not need a template-specific list (instead you’d need a table linking activity type to the allowed tags).

   On trips, make Difficulty a required field and, in cases where there are multiple potential activities, do not attempt to set any default value. This will force leaders to put something here. An exception here would be when the place listing only has one difficulty rating (for example, a peak is only ever a scramble peak, so the default scramble rating is fine, or a sea kayak trip), but any place where there are a bunch of labels, they should probably be removed as the Difficulty default and moved into the route description, like this example from the website: Pinnacle, Plummer, Denman, Lane & The Castle — The Mountaineers

   This also makes sense given that many places have a bunch of routes that you select from the “Alternate Names” dropdown, and the odds that the default difficulty is correct for all of those routes is… low.

   An alternative you could consider would be to allow the difficulty field to remain for multi-activity types, but to prune the list when the template is used to erase any labels that don’t match the activity template or activity type.

   For example, consider Amabilis Mountain, which has labels for backcountry skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.

   Difficulty: M1 Intremediate Ski, Strenuous, G-XC 4 Advanced Groomed, U-XC 3 Intermediate Ungroomed
   Depending on the template I use to post this, by cross referencing this field allowed value, I will get a different result, because any label that’s not in the allow list for the activity type would be removed.

   Snowshoe
   Strenuous
   Backcountry Ski
   M1 Intremediate Ski
   Cross-Country Ski
   U-XC 3 Intermediate Ungroomed, G-XC 4 Advanced Groomed

   While it’s still not perfect–cross-country ski still ends up with two default labels–it’s going to be more accurate overall than what someone would see today, which is just all four labels.

   While there is a link to “Activity Overviews” for this field, it would be nice if the template could have a custom link to the activity-specific page. For example, the Alpine Scramble and Winter Scramble templates would link to (Scrambling — The Mountaineers).

   Summary
   To require the fewest changes for maintainers, my recommendation would be:
   Associate the “Activity-Type” label with a list of “Allowed Difficulty” tags and make the dropdown for the “Difficulty” field look at the allowed tags. If there are multiple activity types, then union the list of allowed tags.
   Make “Difficulty” a required field (i.e. cannot be blank).
   Leave all default values alone. When a trip is posted from a template, validate the default values against the allowed difficulty tags and remove any that aren’t allowed. If the activity type is changed, re-validate and update the Difficulty field (for example, if I change Amabilis from a snowshoe to backcountry ski, the difficulty field should auto-update from Strenuous to M1 Intremediate Ski by virtue of the validation).
   Add the activity-specific link to the trip template (this is nice-to-have, but absolute lowest priority).

3. Make 'alternative place' names visible from Routes (see GH1476?)

   The alternative place names that are accessible partway through setting up a trip are of limited usefulness when you cannot view them beforehand. For example - I tried to set up a hike going to West Tiger #2. I couldn't see that there was such a route under the WT 1-2-3; I ended up setting up the trip under WT 3, using the Section Line alternative (at least partly correct). Learning of the existence of the WT#2, I was unable to Edit the trip via the WT 1-2-3 as the alternatives don't appear.

4. Swap "Meeting place and time" and "Leader's Notes" on trip listing

   A frequent leader pain point is participants who obviously don't read the entirety of the trip listing before signing up and especially before requesting leader permission.

   Most leaders will put instructions on information they want for leader permission in the "Leader's Notes" section, but many participants don't see it because it ends up hidden under the "More+" collapse link. Some leaders even make a point in ALL CAPS to try to get participants to click "More+".

   I believe that swapping these two sections and making "Leader's Notes" the headline that doesn't get hidden would improve this situation and make it more likely that a participant would immediately see words related to requesting permission and actually follow the instructions. It also doesn't seem a huge problem default hiding the meeting time and place because that information usually comes in the planning email anyway, and participants intuitively know they need to find that information.

   Obviously, this could be a confusing change to people who are now used to the current format, so it's understandable if it would be more trouble than it's worth or create objections.

5. Stop stripping line breaks from Leader Permission request comments section

   Most people (myself included) when entering information for the leader in the permission request comment box, make an effort to format it as cleanly as possible with line breaks to organize provided information.

   However, the code appears to strip all these line breaks from the text and drop a super messy blob of text in the request email that comes to leaders. This makes the leader's job unnecessarily harder because we have to mentally parse the blob back into the requester's intended presentation.

   Could we please stop stripping the line breaks and preserve the intended format?

   This idea is moving to proposed. This request is technically possible but would require custom work for our development team to translate meters to feet when populating the map. If this request gains additional following we can look into prioritizing this effort.

7. Add the words " &/or Charts" to wording in "Routes/Places Recommended Maps"

   Under Routes/Places tab it states: "Recommended Maps". Since salt water based trips use "Charts" rather than "Maps" I suggest making the statement read "Recommended Maps &/or Charts".

   Some activities may use both a land based map and a water based chart so having " &/or" covers activities that only require a map or only require a chart as well as activities that require both a map and a chart.

   This is a small issue, and it is certainly not critical however using the correct terminology improves the overall validity and accuracy of the website.

8. Add "Permission Requested" Status

   I wonder why we don't simply add folks who request permission to the roster as a Permission Requested status instead of the current system. When I have a bunch of permission requests in my email, if I'm not thinking about it, it's very easy to process those requests in the wrong order, starting with the most recent instead of the oldest. If the were on their own section of the roster (such as with the waitlist) and sorted by request time, it would be much easier to go down the list in the right order. It would also address another issue with "Permission Request opening date" since that would just be the registration opening date since requesting permission would be a form of registration.

   Also, I usually go from permission request to manually adding folks to the roster. Rarely do I reply to them and tell them to click the box and register. This flow would make it easier to do that since I would just change their status from "Permission Requested" to "Registered" or "Waitlist."

9. Allow trip leaders to require additional skill/course badges per trip

   Currently, the trip templates set the course or skill badges required for participants (or other leaders) to sign-up for trips. The problem is that these only specify the minimum set that could apply to that template.

   I would like, as a trip leader, the ability to require specific badges on a per-trip basis.

   To get concrete with an example: the Winter Scrambling template requires only that a participant be a graduate of the Scrambling or Climbing courses. However, the standards state that "leaders may require additional prerequisites on Winter Scramble trips". A common prerequisite a leader might wish to add for a Winter Scramble would be an AIARE1 (or AIARE2) badge, but there is no mechanism for them to do so except the "Leader Permission Required" checkbox, which increases the admin burden on them. Intermediate Snowshoeing trips would have the same use case.

   The simplest mechanism would be to add a single field for "additional badges required to register" that would apply for participants and assistant leaders. I can't think of a realistic scenario where you would want to additional different additional badges so it probably makes sense to just have one field.

   The system would verify that the registering person has met the trip template requirements, but would then also check that they have the activity-specific badge requirement to let them register.

   In essence, it's an automatic "Leader Permission" grant if the leader wants specific badges.

10. Add the concept of an "after hours" weekday activity, allow for filtering by that value

    Based on https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/7486552-display-activity-start-time-next-to-date

    Many people work during the day. It would be useful if we could search for activities that are designed to be "after work".

    The original concept of filtering by start time was shot down in 2016, maybe this concept of a binary flag is more achievable?

11. Stop showing activities that occur TODAY in the "My Activities History" section

    Right now, any event I am leading today shows up as the first thing in the "My Activities History" section on my profile. However, this is (and always has been) very annoying, because I have to scroll down to find it. Due to recent (and welcome) website optimizations, the history section loads more slowly, so I have to wait for it to load before I can open the activity I'm leading that day in order to print the roster.

    The activity I'm leading that day is the activity I'm going to need to access the quickest in order to print rosters and close it out afterwards. It's much more convenient for that to remain at the top of my activities page than for it to be down in the history.

    I would think this should be a simple fix--just adjusting the filter that splits these out.

12. Add email alert for canceled activities

    Seems as if several outings I was interested in for this summer have been canceled including one I was going to register for today. It would be great if a message about cancellations could go out in the same fashion as announcements for new activities so we don't hold dates open on our calendars or make travel arrangements for events which aren't taking place.

13. In Stewardship Half Day template document the need for manual follow-up

    After completing two "Stewardship Half Day" activities the participant is expected to send an email to info@mountaineers.org requesting their Stewardship badge. This fact was documented in a one-time email sent to activity chairs and some activity leaders when the new template was launched in November, 2020 (see attached pdf) but does not appear to be documented anywhere else. Moreover, people who post Stewardship Half Day activities are expected to include the need for manual follow-up in their activity descriptions, but that also appears to have been mentioned only in the one-time November email. As a result, Stewardship Half Day activities are being posted without the documentation, which leads to confusion and questions on the part of activity participants who have completed two half-day activities but have not received a Stewardship badge -- they do not know they need to ask for it manually because that is not documented anywhere.

    The natural place to document the need for manual follow-up would be in the summary field of Stewardship Half Day template itself:

    https://www.mountaineers.org/activities/activity-templates/stewardship-half-day

    For Course activity templates the "Description" field of the template gets copied into every activity created with that template. If the same is true of non-course activity templates, then perhaps the text that was recommented in the November email could be included in the Description field of the activity template so that it is automatically copied into every Stewardship Half Day activity:

    "As a half-day activity, participants who complete this activity are not eligible to receive the Stewardship Credit badge. If you have completed multiple half-day stewardship activities within the past year and you need this badge for course credit, please email info@mountaineers.org with the dates of your participation and our Member Services team will award you the badge."

    Alternatively, this text could be included somewhere else in the description field of the template so that there is at least a possibility that leaders will see it when creating new activities.

14. Leader's Permission Request activation date

    It is unclear when leader permission for an activity should be requested. Some leaders may intend for the request to occur after registration opens, but many requests are in advance. Wise trip leaders make it clear in the description. It might take some burden off leaders to assign a date to this that is visible on the activity.

15. Lead Activity Again via "Single Activity Cloning" GH3234

    To make it easier for leaders to schedule an activity that they've already led, add what is sort of a copy-and-paste/single clone feature and display on the Lead Activity Again button in the "Manage Activity" portlet.

    This new "single clone" feature would:
    - Create a copy of the activity
    - Place it in the same folder as the activity being copied
    - Increment it's URL as if it were made by staring with the route/place
    - Run all of error and conflict checks
    - Display the newly added/copied activity's edit form with any errors

16. Link Green Trails Maps Purchase to Activities & Courses Listings

    Populate course and activity listings with Green Trails map purchases in parallel with Mountaineers Books listings. Why? 1) Facilitate, encourage carrying hard copy topo maps. 2) Support Books efforts to recover lost revenue

17. Favorites: Flag interest on an activity

    I would like to see a feature in the website to let me flag to myself that I am interested in signing up for an activity, that I can return to with a filter and decide whether to sign up or let it slip. Personally, I would not care if my interest flags were visible to others.

18. Show past activities on a route

    When looking at a route, you can see future activities as well as trip reports. I'd like to see a list of past activities, along with their completion status and leader name (whether they posted a trip report or not).
    This would make it easier to contact past trip leaders to ask them about conditions, etc. as well as to get a sense of when people typically use the route.

    Thanks!

    This idea is moving to proposed. This request is technically possible and will be considered for prioritization if 1) it gains additional following or 2) can easily be added to a prioritized request.

20. Email Reminder for Activities, Courses and Events About to Open for Registration SD509

    As a site user, allow me to choose to get an email the day before an activity, course or event opens so that I get a reminder to register for an activity or course for which I plan to register.

    It would be ideal to add a checkbox along with "Send me an email reminder the day before this opens for registration." to the registration portlet where the the opening date is displayed. We're currently thinking a new role on the roster may be the best way to accomplish this.
