CiviCRM

Australian Greens

For the 2010 election the Australian Greens needed more from their Drupal and CiviCRM installations.

Aus Greens site

We completely reworked the website based on the concept/design by MakeBelieve. A supporters' wall was built, Facebook and Twitter content was streamed in.

Candidates had their own event listings, activity streams, and circul8 delivered a great map of elected reps. Sliders were used to optimise space on numerous screens.

Migrate 2 + CiviCRM api 3 = CiviMigrate

A major challenge for CiviCRM implementers is migrating data from legacy systems into CiviCRM. For large datasets the front end import mechanisms time-out and don't allow for the complexity of the data.

Drupal CiviCRM search block

A customer recently requested that the little contact search box in the top left corner be made available on all their drupal pages and that it link to the contact's Drupal page.

 

Re-using the Civi-search box seemed a bit too difficult but there was a fairly easy solution to this request using existing drupal modules - finder + views (plus features to deploy).

Importing Memberships & Related Contributions using Civimigrate

The joy of CiviMigrate is when you have a complicated destination for your data. In our example we have a simple csv with 6 fields but we want to create a Contact (see previous blog), a membership for that contact and an attached contribution record for the payment received. This blog will describe how to do a membership import and then a contribution import off the same data set.

This blog follows on very closely from the previous blog and continues the same example.

Importing data from a Drupal View into CiviCRM using CiviMigrate

The Migrate module is a powerful tool for importing data into Drupal and Drupal modules. It is also an approach we have been using for large, complicated or recurring imports into CiviCRM. Some advantages of using Migrate module for imports:

Living Streets Aotearoa

This project began from a need to integrate a Mambo 'library' and a hand-crafted html site.

The migration was simplified through the use of modules including Views Bulk Operations to help with reclassifying the old cataloguing system in to one that made sense under the Drupal Taxonomy approach.

AFS NZ

AFS NZ originally need a site for their Alumni to help rebuild connections, fundraise, organise events and conferences. There were also requirements for a library of old press articles on students exchanges.

This was followed by a request to provide them a similarly themed Pasikifa site.

NZAAHD - NZ Aotearoa Adolescent Health

At this point their transition to CiviCRM has been completed and we are working with them to provide better integration with Xero online accounting. This is a product we use ourselves, but for clients using Xero and CiviCRM, it will be very helpful to synch transactions recorded in CiviCRM with payments that are recorded via the bank feeds in to Xero.There is also project to migrate their Joomla site to Drupal as part of this development that is currently on hold.
