Include the address specificity filter from backend people map on event and other maps

The feature here: http://grab.by/kllO that filters address accuracy to city, state, country, etc. would be extremely useful across the system. We're currently experiencing almost 100% address failure internationally outside of US/UK for user created events and this would at least allow for mapping to a degree without the multistep manual correction method we're using now on several thousand events. 

If that filter could be added even at the template level or somewhere in the backend it would make life much easier as even Google directly has huge issues with street addresses as conventions vary so much from country to country.

This should be a quick fix and key to international orgs.

note that “member” would need to match your specific membership level names and it could multiple levels tested for

just put your press releases under a blog page type as subpages. It will aggregate and paginate the list, you can then modify the template on that list page to be more “PR” like.

Alternatively, you aggregate a list of pages using a {% for %} statement by tag but those are capped at 10 and don’t have pagination, so for most uncertain length lists blog is the way to go.

Multiple basic pages or at least an “Advanced” page type with a few more options for advanced usage would be very useful…

This is a duplicate, I believe we suggested this a year or more ago, duping pages would be super useful on a couple use cases.

Add tag via URL

It would be useful for personalization if we could add tags via URL append.

E.g. href="/action_page?tag_user_with="tag_name"

There are a couple use cases for it, all pretty advanced but useful for bigger users/campaigns that are leveraging data in content display...

Is it possible to move an external petition like a Care2 petition with 20K signatures into NB and have those folks still listed as signatories to the new NB-based petition?  

Migrating existing 3rd Party Petitions

Is it possible to move an external petition like a Care2 petition with 20K signatures into NB and have those folks still listed as signatories to the new NB-based petition?  

Official response from C.J. MinsterCheng

When you import petition signatures into NationBuilder, there are two ways to connect the signatories to an identical NationBuilder petition: first, tag all of the external signatories with the same tag as people who sign your NationBuilder petition. Make sure you're tagging signers of your NationBuilder petition by editing the petition page and checking the Petition > Settings page. The tag goes in the text field under "Tag the signer with"

By having a unique tag for people who sign this petition, you can communicate with all petition signers at the same time regardless of where they signed the petition. 

Next, update the total number of signers on your petition. This can be done from the same Petition > Settings page:

abeforprez__petition_test.png

These two steps will let your community know how close you are to your signature goal and allow you to communicate with signers simultaneously. Two caveats: The signatories from another site or collected offline will not display in the activity stream of the live NationBuilder petition. And the total petition signers will be available when sorting on the unique petition tag - signatories from another site or imported as a CSV file will not be listed on the Petition > Signatures page.

@diane PS using tags you could have sub maps with just resources of particular types, etc.

There was some discussion a while back about fleshing out the fields available in supporter profiles to cover add’l areas with new but fixed fields to at least allow for capture of frequent data points not already covered. Any word on that front?
