event/donate hybrid page-type

What we've seen from running larger scale fundraising operations on NationBuilder is that donors are often confused/lost in the process of going from a ticketed event page to the contribution page for check-out. From a UX standpoint, it's pretty clear that when you lengthen the process for someone trying to purchase a ticket to an event to two pages, you are likely to lose some folks along the way. 

An event/donate hybrid page-type would solve this problem. Letting people RSVP and actually purchase their tickets on the same page would definitely improve drop-off rates for online ticket sales.

Official response from Adriel Hampton not planned

Every major ticketing system has an event details page where you select how many tickets you want, and then you land on the payment page. It's the most desirable interface for this functionality.

I the “growth” tab has been added to the control panel dashboard. This is a big step in the right direction. Will you be adding the ability to filter the chart by date range and show new email signups only as opposed to overall “supporters” which can get confusing when you take into account FB and twitter fans and followers?

"lock top nav" feature

Right now, when you go to create a new page "include in top nav" is checked as a default. This is cumbersome for bigger campaigns who have staff drafting and publishing blog posts but have a nice Veracity Media designed theme where the top nav is essentially "set". If one of these staff forgets to uncheck "include in the top nav" this creates a problem. I would definitely suggest unchecking it as a default.

Additionally, I would suggest adding a site-wide feature called "lock top nav" which let's administrators keep others control panel users from publishing new pages to the top nav.

I’m trying to wrap my head around this decision. Creating throw-away lists that you could quickly batch update, export, map view, or subtract from a larger search was a crucial function that everyone used on a day to day basis. Having to create a new saved list every time you want to group people together in this way seems incredibly cumbersome. I’m obviously open to change and will play around, but my first impression is that this is a mistake.

Don't see the option anywhere.

Can I setup an email autoresponse for survey pages?

Don't see the option anywhere.

Official response from Jason Meer

This is not a feature of surveys at this time. Under Survey details>Settings, you can mark responders for follow-up so that the assigned point person knows to reach out after the survey has been completed. Alternatively, you could direct users who complete the survey to land on a page that details next steps as you might have laid out in an autoresponse email.

better way to handle "show stream" and "allow comments" site-wide

If I want these features disabled on every page of my site (as is often the case) except for one (a suggestion box page perhaps), there is no easy way to enable these features for that one page. I have to enable them site-wide and go through and disable them page by page for the entire site, except the one page I needed them for.

I’m have trouble here with donors that have long contribution histories. These histories are pushing the notes and call log box onto a second page for the call sheet. The notes and call log box are actually more important that the contribution history. Is there a way to remove the contribution history or just make it so that the notes and call log box appear above it? Thanks.

Changing the order of my hosts, tickets in an event page

I have a fundraising event page. I'm using hosts and selling tickets. 

Hosts appear in alphabetical order in the drop-down menu I've noticed. I need the primary hosts (the people who's home the event is being held at) to appear first on this drop-down. Is there any way for me to change this order? 

Ticket levels appear smallest to largest. I need them to appear largest to smallest. Same thing, anywhere I can change this?

 

Official response from Jason Meer completed

Both host names and ticket levels are displayed using Liquid output tags and sorted as described by default. You can copy the generated HTML tags by viewing the source of the page and re-arrange the items in the page template, replacing the Liquid tags. This is considered a hack and any changes to ticket levels in the control panel will not be reflected.



Aaron Straus Garcia commented on Advanced search for work address 2013-01-23 16:23:07 -0800 · Flag
Understood. So if a record has both a home address and work address, let’s say in two different cities, when I advance search for the work address city the record won’t show up as part of my search? Thanks!
