RSVPMaker for Toastmasters

1. 

   Role signup on the online agenda.

2. 

   Data collected through the plugin feeds performance reports, such as this one showing progress toward Competent Communicator.

Why is RSVPMaker required?

RSVPMaker provides the basic functionality for creating, editing, and displaying event posts. By default, it collects a yes/no response to an event (and, optionally, a PayPal payment). This Toastmasters extension allows the software to collect signups for specific roles.

RSVPMaker includes many features you will not use in the course of a regular Toastmasters meeting, but you may have open house events or seminars you might want to advertise as events on your website.

How is the version hosted at toastmost.org different?

Toastmasters clubs can get websites hosted as subdomains of toastmost.org, a service of project project sponsor Carr Communications Inc. based on the free, open source software from the WordPress for Toastmasters project. Toastmost.org uses the WordPress Multisite version of WordPress, meaning that all sites hosted in this fashion run on the same instance of the software, with the network administrator controlling what plugins and themes are available. This is similar to the way WordPress.com, the service provided by the company behind WordPress, functions.

The software will run on any WordPress web hosting service.

When you install this software on your own website, you have greater freedom to install other plugins or themes, including those of your own design. However, you must also take more responsibility for providing your own technical support and solving problems such as spam filters blocking email notifications.

The toastmost.org service is supported by subscriptions from member clubs.

2.4.4

• Updated “Set Away Message” function (formerly called “Status”) to clarify intent that this should be used to set a temporary message with an expiration date, like “I will be out of town for the next 2 weeks.” The idea is to prevent members who are unavailable from being asked to take roles (and save meeting organizers from wasting time trying to contact members who are unavailable). Now appears on the sidebar widget and member listing.
