All the contacts have been included but their job titles have not. We have been advised by our Civi consultant that there is a flaw with the way that job titles are entered and to enter a job title we have to edited the Employed By relationship. This is annoying.

Several years ago, we discussed adding additional installer questions to improve our communications/analytics. If we're rolling out a new installer, let's reopen discussion.
Proposals I recall are checkboxes for the following:
* Allow signing up for CiviCRM newsletter (aka "get added to c.o/civicrm") from the install screen.
* Allow collecting the Default Organization data for similar purposes.
* It's OK to contact the evaluator for assistance with evaluation.
* There was also discussion of a field, hidden from the UI, that indicated that the installer was managed by a partner (and an optional field for the installer's name). This would allow us to a) get a sense of how many sites are being implemented by partners, b) in-app communication could be tailored based on whether a partner is involved.
Some of this got bogged down in, "Oh, it's not fair if one shop hogs all the evaluation calls" - but honestly, 5 years later that feels like the least of our concerns. We should implement whichever of these feels uncontroversial.
I'll also propose:
* Contact me if we have an unpatched security issue.

This is painful when something works fine on dev then you move it to stage, with a much bigger dataset that includes billions of deleted contacts, and everything breaks.
"where is_deleted=0" should be a part of all api calls unless you specifically indicate that you want deleted stuff.
```
$result = civicrm_api3('Email', 'get', [
'sequential' => 1,
'email' => "someuser@somedomain.org",
'api.Contact.get' => [],
]);
```
returns all contacts with that email attached. By default it should only include contacts that aren't deleted.
Just a suggestion! No one is interested in deleted contacts unless they're removing them permanently or undeleting them.https://lab.civicrm.org/community/region/melbourne-meetups/-/issues/15Conversion Tracking with Google Ads2021-01-18T09:29:57Zdavid.hohmConversion Tracking with Google AdsMy organisation got accepted for the Google Ads Grant.

I am trying to get my head around how this would work with civicrm and have not had much luck with an online search.
I'm trying to understand how one would set up the tracking code on the thank you pages since civicrm's thank you pages are automatically and dynamically generated. I'm therefore not sure where one would place the conversion tracking code.
Has anyone here worked out how to achieve conversion tracking with Civicrm?
sorry for the many questions. Just slowly chipping away at features on our wishlist and coming across questions as we tackle them,
Thanks for help here, it has been really appreciated.

is there a way to get a notification of some kind for when a recurring payment hasn't gone through? Maybe with membership rules?
We've had it a couple of times now that payments haven't gone through for insufficient funds for example and we only find out about it by chance a few days later.
thanks again for your help,

I would like to propose an alternate method of CiviCRM logging that just enables the MariaDB standard temporal columns and SYSTEM VERSIONING. This logging option would be available if the DB is on MariaDB 10.3 or later. This would remove the need for the triggers.
This should start out as an extension.
Core changes needed to get feature parity with the current method: The "last updated by" column would move from the log_civicrm_xxx schema into the main table (currently is log_user_id).https://lab.civicrm.org/community/community-engagement/-/issues/18Consider Loomio for certain community decisions/discussions?2021-04-03T09:57:08ZnicolConsider Loomio for certain community decisions/discussions?Unlike other web voting systems which try to settle decisions only via a total number of votes, Loomio was born out of the consensus-decision-making systems used by its developer, New Zealand's [Enspiral](https://enspiral.com/). In conse...Unlike other web voting systems which try to settle decisions only via a total number of votes, Loomio was born out of the consensus-decision-making systems used by its developer, New Zealand's [Enspiral](https://enspiral.com/). In consensus-led decision-making, the goal is to get as many people on board with a decision as possible (the details vary - in some instances, everyone must agree, in others, it needs to be a high percentage, in others just a majority, but with no blocks). As a result, as a voting system, it introduces a few key ideas with which you can structure polls: you can abstain, you can change your vote, seek clarification, and offer the ability to 'block' - and discussion is threaded throughout the voting process.
Anyway, I noticed that Version 2.0 has [just come out](https://blog.loomio.org/2019/09/18/what-is-new-in-loomio-2.0-and-beta-release/?utm_campaign=whats-new-2.0-social&utm_term=social) and thought, given the wider question of bringing more community participation into CiviCRM decision-making, as well as the question of how people who can't/won't/shouldn't fly around the world to summits can ensure their voice is heard, is it something we should be exploring for CiviCRM's bigger questions? (such as CIVICRM vs civicrm vs Civicrm vs CiviCRM :)
It's FLOSS, and while there isn't LDAP yet so it could integrate seamlessly with Gitlab and Matter, there does seem to be [a fair amount of demand](https://www.loomio.org/d/AF8Xb0c6/ldap-authentication-way-past-due) for that. Also, FWIW and IMHO, a Loomio/CiviCRM bridge would be pretty app[ealing for any membership organisation trying to increase governance/participation.

Solution - use 'plus' addressing
e.g smithfamily@gmail.com ios used by John and Mary
- Change emails respectively to smithfamily+john@gmail and smithfamily+mary@gmail
- CiviCRM will see these email addresses as unique, but the emails will both be received by the original email.
- NOTE - I think that CiviCRM will send the email twice - if that's not a UX problem, then this is an adequate solution
Optionally, you could also add a Household record for both contacts, and add the original email there.
Do all major email providers support 'plus' addressing?
Microsoft Outlook will also support it according to this article
https://www.ghacks.net/2013/09/17/can-now-use-email-aliases-outlook-com/
All of the above can be validated through testing.https://lab.civicrm.org/community/sustainability/-/issues/17Implement community survey 20212021-03-18T13:18:56Zjoshjosh@civicrm.orgImplement community survey 2021Implement a community survey/process

Previous description focussed on member survey:
to determine opportunities to improve program success. Ideas/objectives include:
- understanding why the member joined in the first place, i.e. is it just goodwill or is there value that they would like to get out of it.
- whether they use a provider or manage civicrm in house
- how many organization users use civicrm
- do they have adequate training resources
- whether they would rather restrict their financial support to a specific fund, MIH or purpose
