Some small changes to the controls in renewals → incoming renewals should streamline the process a little. Read More…
More flexibility in join and renew forms and membership types
Membership types now support various discounts and surcharges (for example, a lower cost when paying by direct debit).
As well as reflecting these pricing adjustments, the join form now offers some optional boxes which have the effect of filtering membership type to choose. Where there are lots of membership type combinations, this reduces and simplifies the number of choices up-front.
You can also restrict the payment methods by membership type. For example, it may only be appropriate to pay monthly subscriptions by automated methods like Direct Debit.
The renew form also deals with these new membership type variations. Read More…
Donation suggested amounts
Forms which have the option to ask for a donation can now have buttons for suggested amounts in addition to a box where they can enter an amount manually. Read More…
Bluesky and Mastodon added to social media
You can now add Bluesky and Mastodon your organisation’s social media accounts in organisation settings → organisation details. This adds corresponding buttons to News Builder footers and lets you insert the new social media links into templates.
Also, these two services are included in the list available to add to member individual’s additional handles. Read More…
Payment history – again
Payment history has moved again. Now, when you click the link in a membership record, it pops up a box with the payment history. Payment history also now appears directly in three particularly relevant places:
* new members → enrol new members
* renew → incoming renewals
* accounting tasks → overdue automated payments Read More…
Twitter → X
As I’m sure you all know, Twitter became X recently, and changed logo. Cameo now reflects that:
* The organisation social media accounts in organisation settings → organisation details offer X now instead of Twitter, and any existing account is updated.
* News Builder footers now include X if you have an organisation X account set up. Existing templates have not changed, but the logo image, which they obtain from https://icons.cameo-membership.uk, are updated.
* Individual’s social media handles (+@ to add one in a membership record) now show X rather than Twitter, and the list of default services available for these also lists X instead of Twitter. Read More…
