Wildfire v2.31 Released – Now with Dashboard Modules
December 14th, 2009 by Sean Sawyer
Version 2.31 of the Wildfire Platform is now live. There’s a ton of new stuff in this release, and one of the most exciting improvements is Dashboard modules. These allow you to add, remove and rearrange items on your community’s dashboard to emphasize the things that are most important to your organization. All of the existing components of the community dashboard have been converted to modules, and we’ve added additional modules such as a latest media feed, a SayNow widget and a Twitter feed. Check out the screencast below (prepared by WTC developer Robert Dyson) for more on the new modules:
Dashboard modules aren’t the only big improvement this sprint, though. Here’s a full list of the highlights:
- Online Fundraising Action – Set up online fundraising drives and drop Wildfire donation widgets anywhere you like using a single XML tag.
- Offline Fundraising, In-Kind Donation and Volunteering Actions – Enter your donations and volunteer hours using the new bulk entry screen, then filter, track and export your history to Excel-friendly CSV files.
- Overhauled HQ Permissions – Simplified permissioning scheme, as well as some additional permissions for fundraising and other new actions.
- Quick Search Supporters by Phone Number, in addition to name and email.
- Subscribe/Unsubscribe Supporters from HQ – Manage supporters’ newsletter subscriptions directly from their contact card.
- Change Password from HQ – Staff can now change their passwords from HQ, rather than having to log into the community.
- Improved Supporter Exports from HQ – Added a ton of new fields to the exporter including created date, last-edited information, source information and separate columns for volunteer interests.
- And of course, the Dashboard Modules, explained in the screencast above.
