Specific VOLUNTEER PAGE FLOW from RSVP

VOLUNTEER PAGE FLOW
The issue is that for Event RSVP and Join pages, if the user checks the Volunteer checkbox, they can only go to ONE default volunteer page for the entire site.  We need event RSVP's when, Volunteer is checked,  to flow to event-specific Volunteer pages.  I had previously gone through a loop with the Support team on this, so I think the Support answer is clear - can't do it.
 its an urgent need.  It is impacting our campaigns and I need to know if there is (or is going to be) a near-term NB fix for the problem, or we have to figure out something else to work around this limitation.

Post events to Facebook as page, not individual

Could you make it possible to post events to Facebook as page, rather than as a person? Facebook seems to allow for it: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/#events

Official response from Adriel Hampton

You can create an event on a Facebook page and easily connect it to your NationBuilder event by adding the URL in your events control panel under Event Settings > Social.

Want to display survey results to my survey takers

There are many informal surveys taken on the Internet, where respondents are presented with the cumulative to-date results of the survey they've just taken.  I'd like to do the same thing with my NB survey: immediately present the cumulative results to each person who takes the survey as soon as he/she is done.

Make it so several websites can share a single blog

it would be cool if you could have two or more websites in the same NB account share a single blog.

On failed SCSS import, notify user of error

It took me a couple minutes to realize why my SCSS wasn't importing... a missing semi-colon.

However, since NB is already parsing the SCSS, why not at least notify of a fail (rather than current implementation which is do nothing).  Bonus would be to notify on which line the error(s) occured.

Updating Bad Emails - should be able to do it all at once!

When sending a email recently 50 emails bounced because hotmail was down that day. To then send them the email i had to go through them one by one turning off 'bad email'. This should be something we can do in batch changes i think. Thanks,

Official response from Lilia Villa

Hello Ahri,

Emails only get marked as bad after they've bounced several times, this is done to make sure that a) we don't mark emails bad for temporary issues b) we remove emails that keep bouncing to make sure email deliverability isn't affected. You can read more about what email stats mean here.

If you believe that the emails were marked as bad upon their first time bouncing, please send over detailed info on the issue to your organizer and they will look into it further.

Thanks.

Wordpress Content Migrator

I think the easiest way to do this is with the native Wordpress XML (WXML) export file.

As an added bonus, it would be amazing if NationBuilder could additionally download and import the content assets as well.

Photo Gallery

Pretty self explanatory; this is a mandatory for most websites these days regardless if they are NGO or for-profit.

Nation Builder Combined Analytics

It would be good if you could visualise the data on your nation. Facebook Insights and Google Analytics are great, but having them all combined with my nation would be amazing!

Addendum - better household tools needed

Physical mailings to households will continue to be a regular tool for us. We need to be able: 

  • to create households, to which people can be added
  • to specify a mailing name for that household (e.g., Mr. and Mrs. Smith, or Jane Smith and Joan Brown, etc.)
  • export a list of households that will not require editing (e.g., deleting duplicate addresses in a .csv file)

Sub Nations - So Much Awesome Potential - With Just a Little More Power

I´m Ned from Tectonica.  We are NationBuilder Architects - your friendly Buenos Aires-based design studio.  Also the creators of three of the official NationBuilder Themes - Victory, Civitas, & BusyBiz.  

We were really so excited by the addition of subnations. They are a really brilliant idea. I also think they are going to be the gateway to much larger associations between NationBuilder and larger organizations, including entire political parties, international organizations, and large national organizations with local chapters. Imagine for example, an under-funder third political party who would be able to organize for all their candidates with consistent themes for all their candidates using much fewer resources. 


That being said, there are a number of things which are really quite key to making them actually be useful. They would be really essential to create a little more relationionability between main nations and subnations. Right now that relationship between a main nation and subnations are extremely limited. 

So I thought I would pass you the things that would be good to see in the order of how badly we really need them to create amazing multi-nation sites.

1. Connection between local (subnation) events and main events. In fact, having one event set up that could be shared between main nation and subnations is really essential.  For example, there might be a large nationwide event or fundraiser and currently they would have to go set it up separately in every single subnation for the local users (which is where users will be most active) to see the important event. Being able to have some events just for local activities and some across the entire set of nations is really key.

2. Connection between local (subnation) and main nation blog posts. Our options with the RSS feeds are just not going to work from a control and design perspective. Currently the best option we have to feature posts on the main nation from the various things going on in the subnations is to actually go and copy and paste the post into the main nation.  Its as good as setting up a completely seperate blog. What would be ideal is for a main nation admin to be able to go to the a subnation back-end and somehow tag a post as featured to appear in the main nation blog roll.

3. Be able to see activities of subnation member in the main nation - as well as auto sign for main nation when sign up for subnation.  The reality is having to sign up twice for any user is not only confusing but will significantly reduce their involvement I believe. But most important is that the entire activities of all the subnation members would be tracked by a central location.

4. Administrator access to subnations. Currently you must set up each person new for each subnation.  Using Facebook to sign them in to each nation and then going into each subnation and granting them admin privileges is fine.  However, its quite a few extra steps. What cannot happen is have admins of subnations have access to the main nation as admin.  The idea is there will be people at the local level which will be leaders of their own project, but shouldn´t have the power to change things on the main organization.

There are further ones that we would love to see, but these first four are absolutely the most important for us that we have come across until now.

Delete several lists quickly

I have a LOT of old saved lists which I would like to clean up.  I see how to delete them one at a time, but this is quite time consuming.

Search for donations by year

I think these two suggestions would add greatly to how NB deals with searching for donations:

  1. On the main Finance dashboard add search options for "This year" and "Last year" and "Last 12 months". Indeed, it would be good just to add "2010" or "2011", etc.
  2. You should be able to pick out which donors have given the most in the time period, rather than just fundraisers, and individual donations. If you want to go back to donors in successive years it helps to know quickly how much they gave in this and the last calendar year.
  3. You should be able to go through Advanced Search (in "People", not "Finances") to pick out "Donated between X and Y in Z time period". Again to be able to find donors who gave, e.g. between $0 and $1000 during 2012, or between $1000 and $5,000 during 2011.

Many thanks,

L.

Multi-choice survey question with checkboxes

At the moment there is no way to get multiple answers from a multi-choice question. And having a yes/no question for every possibility means having a survey over 8 pages long.
Can another question type be added that allows multiple answers, each with their own tag?

New Email Newsletter Templates Please : - )

Hi, my org's new site just launched on NB, and we are loving all of the great features.  One thing that we would really appreciate though are more enews templates, similar (and perhaps matching) the site templates.  We are coming off of Constant Contact that offered great newsletter templates (with rows, calendars, etc) that were easy to customize with our own graphics and some stock graphics.  We received a quote to do programming to allow for some similar features, but we can't afford to make that investment.  We'll be sticking with Constant Contact for now, but would love to be fully integrated on NB.  Thanks for the consideration.  Joy

Integrate Events Calendar with Google Calendar

It would be nice to have a feature where you can click a link and add a Nationbuilder event to a Google calendar.

Log past contact

Hi NationBuilder,

I'm importing data from callouts last week and I'm logging the data's contact with the call centre. However, NationBuilder wont let me change the date of the logged contact.


It'd be really useful if we could log the date of the contact, instead of NationBuilder assuming the contact was at the time of logging.

Cheers,

Isaac.

Ability to Import CSV of Event Attendees

NationBuilder event management is well designed, but I'd love the ability to import event attendees from a CSV file. This is helpful when migrating into the platform from some other service, or even if the event organizer used Google Docs for some reason to keep track of sign ins instead of NB.

There are a million reasons why event attendees might not get entered directly into the system, and the ability to import a CSV into the event would be a really helpful feature.

Thanks!
