New Event Registration System soon
on Tuesday September 13, 2016 03:30PM
I am very excited to announce that within the next few weeks we will switch from our 15 year old Zope Registration System to a new system. The change means many of the technical issues we see should go away, plus the new system is designed to work well on both computers and mobile.
One major and unfamiliar change is that the registration will be done on our Django web site https://new.fbyc.net which means you will be required to log into a different web site than www.fbyc.net in order to register. Most of you have never done that, even though we have used that site for several years for our news postings and our online member database. In advance of the change, you might try logging into the new site at https://new.fbyc.net/accounts/login/?next=/ when you have a chance. The credentials (username and password) are the same as the familiar site.
Please report any issues you may find to Strother Scott.
When you see the new registration system, you will notice it looks and works much more like modern online shopping cart. You will find a multi-step process where you will “Submit Personal Data”, “Submit Boat”, “Submit Items” to buy, if any, and finally you will be asked to review the data before you “Submit Final Registration”. It will go almost as quickly because the data will frequently be auto filled in advance. And if there is a payment, we will be replacing PayPal with a system from www.stripe.com.
