To Understand the Module
To understant the best use for this module, it is necessary to understand the type of situation it was designed for...
Any business that has a membership database, for example a gym, club or association, church etc. Who currently have an in office database of membership details, and want to run a website that allows members to update their details online, will need a way to have the databases linked from the website back to the membership database in the office.
In many cases we develop custom modules that feed and sync data to a “backend database” to meet specific needs. However sometimes clients simply cannot afford the expense of a customized application that links membership databases.
This module is the cost effective solution. This module sends a simple email to a configured email address with a list of the changes that members who have logged into their website have made. This email can then manually be entered into the “backend database” by staff in the office.
Example
-
A local gym with 500 members has a database to manage membership and billing information in the office.
-
The office database is proprietary software and although a connection module is possible, the cost of development is prohibitive.
-
Membership details are exported from the office to the web.
-
Members of the gym are encouraged via promotions etc to keep their details up to date on the login area of the gyms DNN website.
With this module installed, and configured, any changes made by members of the site are relayed back to the office admin team who manually update the members details in the office database.
The module can be configued easily.
The Module Installs on a Page or Tab in your DNN website with Admin only view access.
Fron the module menu, selecting "Configure Module" will take you to the module configuration options.
Selecting Modify Email Settings (says it all)
-
Host settings is only visable when logge in as a Host. These settings will report on all portals in the DNN site to the configured email addresses.
-
Activity Emailer option is visable to Administrators and acts only on the portal that the module is being configured on.
-
Run Report - forces the module to generate an email instantly.
Sample Email is shown here. This is a copy and past of an email generated to show the change to John Smith and the changes he has made. Note that all the items listed were changed. Items not listed were not changed.
