    Hi Gene,
    Yes you’re there. The system isn’t plotting the graph for ages that aren’t present.

    Hope that helps.

    oooh I like that idea.
    I’ll put it on the list, that could be useful.

    Hi Gene,
    Yes a photo upload is on my wish list too. That page is just crying out for it isn’t it!
    It’s on the list.

    Hi Gene,

    Good spot, thank you. The extra “\” that you’re seeing is as a result of ‘escaping’ the apostrophe that is built into Crossmember so that the apostrophe is treated as an apostrophe.

    I’ll get this sorted.

    Brian.

    Very interesting thank you.
    I’ll have a good think about your comments for future improvements.

    Hi Alan,

    Yes, in the renewal reminder emails, you can insert ‘tags’ that will be auto populated by Crossmember when the email is sent. These can include {{First Name}}, {{Last Name}}, {{Membership Number}} and {{Renewal Date}}.

    The tags make it both a personal email and also gives them all the information they need to renew on the spot.

    Cheers,
    Brian.

    Hi Alan,
    It’s straight forward for a simple renewal – they don’t need to login to Crossmember at all. All they need is their membership number, last name and postcode. From that they can renew without accessing any personal data.
    Keeping the renewal process as simple and straight forward is part of the way of ensuring that members don’t get fed up trying to navigate the system and stop trying before they’ve paid their renewal.
    Hope that helps,
    Brian.

    Hi Stewart,

    Yes it’s still on my radar as I think this will bring a whole wealth of benefits to Clubs. It expands the abilities of Crossmember into the Club’s website through the secure sharing of information.
    I’ve not got into it yet. At the moment I’m quite focused on getting the migration of Crossmember onto its new home sorted. Planning for that is going well and I’ve already migrated parts of the system that wont be subject to downtime when the nameservers move – unfortunately that’s a necessity for this move but it should be the last for a long time as this move should future proof Crossmember for growth.
    Once I get to thinking about the REST API I’ll come calling on you (and any other Clubs that would like to have input please shout here) so that we can ensure what is built is good for all.

    Cheers,
    Brian.

    Hi Robin,

    I’ve left hooks in the Crossmember code for ‘custom’ fields but not yet implemented it. So it can be done.

    Hi Roger,
    Integration for normal use is via three simple links – Joining, Renewing, View my record.

    The more complex integration that you’re talking about here is part of a next programme of work. I’ve had a couple of requests for exactly what you’re looking for and I intend to implement this as a REST API. Crossmember already has an Oauth2 Server implemented so it will be reasonably straight forward to build the API.
    I envisage that on member login to your website, as part of your authentication you will know who they are – perhaps their membership number that you have attached to their user profile. Implementing a REST call to Crossmember with this information could then provide you with their status/expiry date etc that could then allow you to determine if they are a current paid up member that will allow them to access member only pages according to your club’s rules. You could then store a token in their session data that will allow members area access.

    Does this align with your thinking/requirements?

    Crossmember development is driven by community need (rather than what I think we all want) so your input is valued.

    All the best,
    Brian.

    Hi Robin,

    Yes, on the Reports page there is the option to “Backup”. This will download the members and vehicles to Excel so that you can always have your data.
    Additionally, the club’s database is backed up daily. If there’s a catastrophe then I’ll have the backups to get it back up and running.

    Cheers,
    Brian.

    in reply to: Why are registration numbers withheld in find a vehicle #741

    Hello Peter,

    It’s because the Vehicle Registration can be classed as Personal Information. It is information that identifies personally owned property and as such allowing anyone in the Club to access it can fall foul of GDPR.

    The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier.

    This definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers to constitute personal data, including name, identification number, location data or online identifier, reflecting changes in technology and the way organisations collect information about people.

    I would suggest that if a member is interested in speaking to the owner of a specific vehicle, then they should approach the committee who should then ask the owner if they can contact the member concerned, or if they’re happy for you to pass on their details.

    The vehicle register therefore does have to be anonymised in this way for the regulations. However it is an excellent way of members finding other members who have the same vehicle of similar age, have documented similar upgrades, might have had to solve similar problems etc.

    Cheers,
    Brian.

    Hi Geoffrey,

    Yes absolutely. I’ll get this done soon, I’ve just been focused on the implementation of GoCardless for automated Direct Debit payments – which I’m sure the RCCC will also find absolutely invaluable. It’s been a significant amount of work!

    Thank you for logging your requirement for me and it makes perfect sense
