Portal - November 2012

Event Registration Process

Enhanced user experience when registering for events online
When a user is logged in, the sign-up form will have a dropdown list of all members of that user's household so they can populate the form with the click of a button
When the user goes to the checkout form, they will be able to populate the final form based on any event registration in their cart. If they are authenticated, they can also choose to populate their own information (this is the default when the user is logged in)

My Events - *new*

Users can now see which events for which they've registered and can either confirm their attendance or notify event organizers that they will not be able to attend

Event Calendar

Events assigned to the "Churchwide" congregation will be displayed no matter which specific congregation is chosen from the dropdown menu. This feature can be disabled via a configuration value.
Removed the "dot" in front of each calendar item and wrapped each item in a <li> element for improved skinning possibilities
- ul.mpp_calendarDayEvents { ... }
  li.mpp_calendarEventItem { ... }
  li.mpp_calendarEventItem a { ... }

Leaders can now see the fundraising status of each trip participant
Leaders can e-mail members of the group

A note has been added to inform users that the "memo" is visible to the trip participant and the church office
