Even More Digital Media Features – Ninth Day of Christmas Gifts from Tendenci to You!

“On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… nine ladies dancing.”

On the Ninth Day of Christmas: More photo album features for your photos!

How much do Photos really matter Online? A lot!

Photos can be extremely powerful content on your website to engage your users, tell your association’s story, encourage donations, and serve as frequent content updates that keep visitors (and search engines if you add unique tags and descriptions) coming back to your site for more!

Want to know just how often your photos are being viewed?

Visit your Event Log Summary Report to see your Tendenci site’s photo activity.

The Event Log Summary Report is the first report listed under the Reports tab of the Tendenci Admin Bar – or navigate directly to YourURL.com/event-logs/reports/summary to see your report.

In the real client example below, Photo views (represented by the blue bars) have the most activity of any module on the site. Even more than regular CMS pages (green) and events (orange).

New Tendenci Features for Rich Media!

In 2013 we will be rolling out some new features to the Tendenci Photo Albums & Video Gallery modules to give you even more control over your online photos and videos! Here are some features coming soon to Tendenci:

Updates to Tendenci Online Photo Albums:

Updated module settings, including options for who can add new photo albums

Drag and drop re-sort on photo albums

Ability to assign a photo album or individual photo to a specific user group

Example: Photos tagged with a specific group or committee automatically feed into the sidebar of that Group’s page

Updates to Tendenci Online Video Gallery:

Introducing TwentyThirteen – Our Eighth Day of Christmas Gifts from Tendenci to You!

We’re Welcoming in the New Year with a Fabulous New Tendenci Theme!

In celebration of both the 8th day of Christmas and the New Year, we’ve got a very special gift for you from all of us at Tendenci – the first Tendenci Community Theme specifically built for Associations.

You’ll be able to find TwentyThirteen available to download beginning in late January, 2013.

SignUp below to be the first to find out when the new theme is available:

We’ll be adding the theme to Tendenci’s Open Source Github Theme folder and you’ll be able to download the theme for free and Tendenci Community hosted sites can request TwentyThirteen for Jumpstart Packages and we’ll personalize the theme to match your association’s Brand.

And Now…

We’re Pleased to Introduce TwentyThirteen

TwentyThirteen includes all of the features your association website needs right from the beginning to start accepting donations, building your contacts list, and manage member programs and events plus so much more!

TwentyThirteen HomePage Features

Associations and nonprofits have a unique set of requirements for websites that corporations don’t face. Here’s some of the different ways that we’ve tailored TwentyThirteen for Associations so that you can have a professional looking website and easy online community management tools that work.

Above the Fold

The section above the fold on a website is typically referred to as the area on your web browser that you see when you first load a website page, before you scroll down. On average, about 80% of website visitors will click through to an inside page before they scroll down the homepage. This means your most important content should be top and center of your homepage.

Here’s what’s front and center on TwentyThirteen’s homepage:

Your Association’s Logo and Tagline – Your website needs to communicate to your visitors who you are and what you do immediately and that’s why your Association’s logo and tagline are prominently featured in the Header of every page, including your homepage template.

Large Rotating Banner – Visually share your association’s stories to increase engagement with site visitors with TwentyThirteen’s large homepage banner. Update your featured homepage content automatically with the stories module’s start and expiration options and your association’s latest news. Learn more about Tendenci’s stories module.

twentythirteen association theme navigation — **TwentyThirteen Navigation Menu**

Call to Action and Social Media Buttons – We’ve added call to action buttons to donate and join your association as well as social media profile buttons that you can quickly personalize to your own account links. Your website will be able to immediately start building your online community through donations, members, and new social media fans.

Flexible and Customizable Main Navigation Menu – TwentyThirteen’s main navigation comes “pre-loaded” with the top modules used by association websites including membership information, job board, donations form, contact form and more.

Below the Fold

Here’s What’s Below the Fold:

Featured Content Boxes that are fast to update with information about your association or nonprofit including your staff, volunteers, programs and job openings, and practically anything you need to share on your website.

Homepage Sidebar that dynamically pull in content from other modules on your site: upcoming events, the latest news, and Sponsor spotlights and features them in your homepage and internal page sidebar templates.

Secondary Image Slider displays additional rotating content on your homepage below the fold.

Recurring Payments – Seventh Day of Christmas Gifts from Tendenci to You!

Coming in 2013 to your Online Donation Forms – Recurring Payments!

For most Nonprofits, online donations are a very important piece of your website and have a large effect on furthering your mission. Coming soon to Tendenci – you will have more advanced options for the way you take donations online, including the ability for your donors to set up Recurring Payments so donors can send you a donation automatically each month, quarter, year, or whatever custom interval you like!

Check out the New Features in our Sample Screenshots

In the forms edit screen, just check a box to enable Recurring Payment and choose which Payment Methods you will allow.

Add preset Pricing Amounts, or leave blank to allow visitors to set their own Donation amount.

When the visitor fills out the form, they can choose from one of your pre-set amounts, or fil in their own amount.

Ideas for How to Use Recurring Payments for Your NonProfit Website:

Allow donors to contribute a large donation in 12 smaller, monthly payments. This particularly appeals to Generation Y donors, who often prefer smaller donation amounts. (Read more about how Generation Y donates to nonprofits from the Tendenci blog)

Grow support for ongoing programs by allowing donors to support their favorite ongoing program with a donation each time it happens, such as weekly food delivery or monthly pet adoption events.

Set up yearly recurring sponsorship packages for your member organizations that automatically renew from year to year.

Set up an email newsletter group of your recurring donors. This allows you to send these donors special, share-able content and encourage them to share with friends and family online. NTEN’s 2012 Nonprofit Donor Engagement report found that donors typically spend time encouraging their friends and family to get involved in their favorite charity as well – so they are more likely to be your advocates!

Merry Christmas from Tendenci!

We’re celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas with daily previews of lots of new Tendenci Features coming to your association website in 2013! Join us each day to check out new “gifts” from Tendenci that we hope you’ll love!

6 New, Free Plugins – Sixth Day of Christmas Gifts from Tendenci to You!

Coming in 2013: 6 new Tendenci Plugins for Free!

ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS… TENDENCI’S GIFT TO YOU: Six Free Plugins Specifically for Associations!

One of the unique benefits Tendenci’s open source CMS gives Associations is the fact that the software was developed specifically to meet your association’s unique and complex requirements, without making your life harder. Our plugins are also designed with your needs in mind, not the corporate world’s requirements like most apps first to market are.

We’re incredibly excited to be able to announce new plugins coming in 2013 that will super-charge your Association’s website! And did we mention that they’ll be absolutely free?!

Here’s an Inside Sneak Peak at 6 New Plugins Coming to Tendenci Sites in 2013:

Donations

Need a way to start accepting donations on your website immediately, without the hassle of building custom forms? If so, you’ll love our Donations plugin! Our donations plugin automatically creates a donation form for your association and integrates the form with your website’s merchant account and invoice modules.

donations forms tendenci settings — **The Donations Plugin Provides Instant Integration with Your Website’s Payment Processing Module!**

The donations settings are customizable and enable you to add the different programs and chapters at your Association, select what payment types you accept online, and set preset donation values – or leave the donation value blank and let Donors enter their own dollar amount.

tendenci donation plugin form — **Your Donors can Specify Which Chapter or Program Their Gifts are Delivered to!**

Staff

The Staff Plugin offers your team a place to showcase their skills and introduce your website visitors to the people at your association who work tirelessly for your cause. Your staff can add their personal social media and blog profiles and share their work experience and skills. The Staff plugin puts Faces to your Association for new site visitors and shows who’s behind the work you’re doing.

Committees

Tendenci Committees are special User Groups you can create with this new plugin that helps you manage your Association’s different committees on your website. With the Committees plugin, you’ll be able to create committee groups on your website and easily populate the committee’s officer positions with your users’ information. Members of a committee can find contact information for other group members and share files and content through your Association’s website.

**Increase Team Collaboration with Tendenci Committees!**

Study Groups

Study Groups are another type of specialized User Group that your website users can join or be assigned to. The Study Groups plugin is great for Associations who need an online place for sharing ideas, discussions, files, and lesson plans and managing your training and study groups through your website.

Case Studies

Use Case Studies to Share the Good Work You’re Doing with Supporters!

Tendenci’s Case Studies plugin gives you a pre-formatted content module to share your success stories and showcase the work your nonprofit association is doing in the community. There are 3 separate rich-text editor (WYSIWYG) boxes plus custom image fields to upload photos that communicate your story. Case Studies is designed to make it easier for you to quickly write new content on your website that will increase your fundraising efforts.

Here’s an Example of How to Use Case Studies for Your Association or NonProfit website:

* Overview: This field is where you’ll share a few sentences (or more if you’d like) about the specific campaign or fundraising project. You might want to include the goals that you were hoping to achieve, and any specific challenges you faced.

* Execution: Use the execution field to describe how your association solved your challenges, and achieved your goals. For example, if you’re showcasing a recent fundraising campaign for a new homeless shelter, talk about how you were able to raise the money successfully. This is a great place to thank your donors and perhaps include special mentions to any volunteers, staff, and corporate partners/sponsors who helped with your success.

* Results: Did you succeed at your goals stated in the Overview? If so – share! Use this field to say what happened, and using the example in the previous execution section – include stories of the homeless people who now have a shelter to stay at because this will communicate to new visitors what your mission is best and help drive new donors and memberships.

Speakers

We originally developed the Speakers plugin for our 2011 user conference at SchipulCon and now we’re updating the module so you can showcase your big conference Speakers on your website!

Use the Speakers plugin to add multiple images and more details about your speakers such as their bio and links to their social media networks. Site visitors can quickly search the Speakers module to find out more information about your presenters plus the module makes it faster for you to promote the thought leaders that your events attracts!

New Options for Open Source Hosting – Fifth Day of Christmas Gifts from Tendenci to You!

Coming in 2013: More Open Source Hosting Options!

ON THE FIFTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS… TENDENCI’S GIFT TO YOU: Real Choices for hosting your open source Tendenci website yourself!

This past year has been exciting and fast paced for the Tendenci team with the release of our open source software. We’re breaking new grounds in nonprofit, open source technology, and we’re focusing more of our efforts in 2013 on ease of use for you and your staff.

One major to-do we’re finally able to check off our list is simplifying the installation process so you can set-up and manage a Tendenci website on the hosting provider of your choosing. We’ve been testing Tendenci open source installations on different hosting providers and documenting the steps for you.

We’ve currently written documentation for Rackspace and Linode cloud hosting installation instructions:

Tendenci Open Source Hosting Requirements

Tendenci Installation Instructions on Rackspace OpenStack Cloud Platform

Tendenci Installation Instructions on Linode.com

We’ll be documenting additional hosting providers in the coming weeks, and we’re interested in finding out what hosting provider you want to use with Tendenci. We’ll test and document the installation process for your preferred hosting vendors. Suggest a vendor as a Comment below or email us to ‘toss’ your cloud host’s name in the ‘hat’.

3 Questions to Ask Before You Select Your Hosting Partner

We believe that website management shouldn’t be a struggle for Associations. Managing both Members and Content on your website is a complex process that Tendenci was specifically designed to help manage, enabling you to focus on your cause. Just like you need a website platform specifically developed for your nonprofit, you also need a hosting partner that understands the unique technology requirements that associations and nonprofits have.

Here’s three questions you definitely should ask potential hosting providers to make sure you get a good fit!

1) What extra services and products does your hosting provider offer?

Often, people think that their association’s staff email addresses come from the same company that they paid for the custom domain URL, or they think that things like back-ups, security updates and monitoring are included in that $6.99 monthly hosting plan. In most cases, the cheapest hosting plans out there aren’t intended to support the kind of traffic and User activity that a nonprofit or association website is going to require.

Make sure that your hosting provider offers a package that includes the type of options your association will require. For example, with Tendenci websites – you’ll need to make sure you find a hosting partner with VPS (virtual private server) root access.

2) What level of support does the hosting company offer?

It’s great if you have an experienced IT staff to manage your website’s critical maintenance tasks like back-ups, security updates, and plugin management. If your association doesn’t have someone on staff to manage your IT and website hosting services, then you’ll want to find a hosting provider with a strong support department who can be your external IT team.

Make an honest evaluation of your association’s ability to provide the time and expertise required to ensure your website receives the ongoing maintenance, back-ups, and security updates required to run smoothly. Find a hosting provider with services that compliment your association’s IT capabilities.

3) How will the hosting provider manage an unpredictable spike in traffic to your site?

Imagine your nonprofit gets a lucky break and your Executive Director is going to be on the Today Show! Suddenly, tens of thousands of people are trying to access your website – and you’ve never had more than a hundred visitors at one time before. Will your site go down because you have limits on your platform?

Probably – most sites who experience a massive spike in traffic experience a short period of downtime. That downtime can range from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the level of support your receiving from your hosting provider. How fast can your hosting provider get your site back up and live when traffic spikes? Can they get you up before your live Today Show interview is over? Or will you be down until later in the evening, when viewers earlier have forgotten and moved on to other priorities with their families and dinner?

These are all important questions to consider and I hope they help you select the right website host for your association!

A User is a User is a User – First Day of Christmas Gift from Tendenci to You!

Coming in 2013 – Better ways to manage and track your users, members, volunteers, and staff!

On the First Day of Christmas… Tendenci’s Gift to You: One Profile for Every User!

Our 2013 Tendenci Roadmap includes a major focus on adding features that enable you to build stronger relationships with your members and donors through online community building tools that show you how users are engaging with your association.

One way that we’re doing this is by merging your website’s Users and Contacts with other modules like memberships. Your website will recognize anyone with a username and email to your website as a real Person by connecting the user’s activity across your website and organizing it all on their user profile.

A User is a Member is an Event Attendee is a Donor is a User

The biggest change you’ll see is how Tendenci’s database handles user information so that our software now “recognizes” if a user logged in is also a member, and if they are attending your events, and how much they are donating. This information will empower your staff with more accurate reporting on the effectiveness of your different programs and fundraising campaigns.

We want to make organizing and connecting people easier for you, and this merge includes all site users’ who have a user profile and site login including your staff, volunteers, members, donors and anyone else you’ve opted to keep in touch with.

Here’s a Preview of the Updates Coming to Users, Groups, and Members in 2013

Check out some of these screenshots and learn about our favorite changes coming to your association website’s people management tools:

1) Find Your Users Faster with our Global Site “People Search”

The New “People” Search enables you to globally search all users and contacts in one place, and you can opt to search only your association’s members or every person on your website!

people search users and members together — **One Global People Search for Finding All of Your Users!**

This new update will also help prevent duplicate entry for your staff and your members because now user profile data and membership application data is kept sync’d. This wil enable users who later join as members to automatically complete membership application fields using their user profile data. Likewise, membership application information is added and kept updated in your users’ profiles.

2) New Batch Editing Tools for People Give Your Staff Time-Saving and Fun Ways to Organize and Manage Your Members!

We’re adding new tools that enable Your Association Staff to approve and manage memberships in fewer steps, plus so much more! Here’s an inside look at the changes coming to your site’s Admin Backend:

admin membership batch management dropdown — **Coming Soon – Batch Options for Your Memberships!**

batch manage user and member groups — **Manage Memberships and Groups Directly from User Profiles!**

updated membership management tools — **New Super-User Membership Management Dashboard Options!**

3) Advanced Membership Reports to Give You Key Performance Insights for Your Membership Programs and Events

We’re rolling out several new membership reports in the next few months to give you real time data including information about current members, renewal and new membership financial data, and so much more! In 2013, you’ll have better reporting tools and be able to collect and analyze data about your members, volunteers, donors, and staff better than ever before!
