Looking good but not working yet.
I've try'd to change my car details but to no avail.
I guess theres still some tinkering to be done.
I like the membership details part.
Great way of getting details of local Mud Club events and newsletters.
Good idea guys.
 :D

Jake,

What problem did you have with the vehicle details ?   It should be working OK, so you might have found a problem.

Title: Vehicle Bios
Post by: Jake on November 27, 2005, 19:17:34

3 points.
Edit profile information, edit main vehicle information and edit vehicle specs arn't working.
I changed all the details in profile (inc picture) and it did nothing.
I changed the vehicle infomation, waited for it then checked it. same.
And the spec details, is there a way of deleteing spec?
I've changed my vehicle and cant get rid of all the old stuff.

Do you have any "helpful" "security" software like Norton installed ?

If so, you probably need to make sure that it isn't doing something "helpful" like blocking cookies from http://members.mud-club.com

OK..

Current investigations suggest that if you don't enter your username *exactly* as it is on the forum when you log in to admin (i.e. with all the Capital Letters in the right places) then it won't work.

I'll hopefully confirm this and find a fix shortly.

What's the "Vehicle Specs" bit about? Has someone done it so I can see the results?

There is a menu item on the admin page to manage your membership.  This includes membership renewals and some opt-ins for emails from the club, etc.

Because I don't actually believe we have anywhere near 3000 members !

Just like any other club, memberships will need to be renewed on a yearly basis.. this will allow us to more effectively manage the members database and make some of the areas of the site more efficient.

The automated reminders, etc. aren't in place yet, but they will be shortly.  Hopefully these will remind a few long-fogotten members that we are here too :-)

OK, that all sounds good! What is (will be) the effect of "passing" your renewal date without taking action? Will the usernames stay pending renewal, or will they be deleted / disabled?

I'm just interested (nosey) :wink:

There will be a couple of reminder emails coming up to the renewal date, and  then one after it has passed.

A short time after this, the account will be disabled and an email notification sent to that effect.  If no action is taken, the account will be removed.

As well as details of the renewal, there will also be details of how not to renew so that we aren't bombarding people with emails who no longer wish to be members.

Tim! I suppose with all this Renewal Thingy!
 Do we still keep our original membership numbers?

I think this is a Brill idea like i was saying to Jake A few Months Ago!
It Could free up quite a bit of space on the DataBase?

Title: Vehicle Bios
Post by: muddyweb on November 28, 2005, 17:39:42

The only time you would lose your membership number is if you let your membership expire.

Title: Vehicle Bios
Post by: TUFFTEE on November 28, 2005, 17:44:51

Tim! One more Quick question?
My home address is in Devon!
And Commute to London Heathrow!

That is why i Became Middx Rep
Would putting in Devon affect that?

Title: Vehicle Bios
Post by: muddyweb on November 28, 2005, 17:48:20

Won't make any difference.  The county selection is only used if you opted in to the 'regional' mailings.

So if you have asked for these messages, choose the county where you spend most of your free time, and then you will receive mailings which are most relevant.

If you have already renewed, then it won't appear again until next time ;-)

Otherwise, it is the last item in the admin menu.

Just tried re-entering my vehicle bio and every time I add a new line it randomises the list.  Not into any order, not numerically or alphabetically.  It's doing my tree TBH.
