I'd like to see people start using the new features

More than adding anything new, I'd like to see people start using the new features of this site. There's a lot of cool new stuff "under the hood" here at cirna.org, and I hope it will ultimately benefit the fellowship and make this site even more useful.

New features include:

  • Subscriptions to Regional and/or Convention email news and updates.
  • Listings of upcoming service committees and activites on Area, Activities, and Committees pages.
  • This forum, and the ability to participate in it.
  • Speak Up: Polls or surveys AND results from those.

Cool stuff you don't see:

  • This site is now 100% Content Management System (CMS) driven. In simple terms, this means that 'information' on this site can be updated without touching the 'design' of the site. This also means that a single 'story' can be pulled into several different 'pages' (for example: Calendar entries show up on the Calendar, as well as on Committees, Activites, Convention, and Area pages). We create the content (the story) once, but it can be categorized and pulled into any appropriate page (and usually without any extra work).
  • Different members can be made 'managers' of specific portions of this site, without turning over control or access to sensitive or critical features. THIS IS HUGE, because it gives us the ability to get other members involved in creating and managing content on this site.
  • Different members can be granted different levels of access to site information. This means that, for instance, the casual user/browser of this site might not have access to meeting minutes, etc., but a registered user would (this feature isn't in use yet).
  • Content Expiration. This means less maintenance and upkeep for the Webmaster, as stories or information which have reached their 'expiration' are automatically removed from the site.

Great Job Mike I am impressed every time I visit this site and get stuck here just looking around, and commenting or reading the others comments too Kool!!!!!!!

Site Features

I would just like to take a moment and compliment you on a well formed attractive site that commands a proffessional respect from a fellow developer. Great job. It is clean and a pleasure to navigate. The style is simple and sweet. I find it odd that more members do not find the time to utilize your forum. I hope in time to see more commentaries in the other forums.

The new features

I want to compliment the webmaster on the new features, thanks Mike.

I had difficulty posting a flyer with images in it but at least got the info up.

One question? Is it possible that each area could have it's own forum?

New Features - Permission Updates

Phil, thanks for the compliments. I have made the following updates to Area Administrator privileges:
- Added Upload Privileges so that you should be able to upload a flyer for an event now
- Changed Forum privileges so that you can add specific Forum topics, and edit those topics. If you want a completely separate Forum that was accessible under your Area Listing, I could probably do that too, but it would take a bit more doing.
