SCPA Web Site Member Data Base Wish List |
1/10/01 |
Some of the functionality and features I'd like to see in our
web site member database would be: |
Categorize data fields or (field group
records) as non-restricted, restricted, and administrative |
Member can set personal fields or (field group
records) as restricted or non-restrictive while editing personal records |
Members could select which members can access their restricted data
by checking a check box next to a member name on a pop up member list
while editing their personal record |
Self Registration |
Enter USHGA number as password |
Note: using USHGA number as password provides
only limited security but offers a unique static ID that is easy to remember. We might be able to link to the USHGA database for validation. |
Some fields should be required and
validated |
like (name), (USHGA number), (USHGA exp date),
(Birthday) |
Log On |
Required to access data base info section of
web site |
Administrators would log on using a secure
password |
Members would log on matching (last name) with
(USHGA number) |
Anyone logged on could view non-restricted member info |
Restricted data fields & records would return "restricted"
if requesting member is not authorized |
Queries could be added and modified |
Updates and Edits |
Member and Administrators may view all member record data
with a form that uses data base data for initial field values |
Member and Administrator may edit non-administrative member record data |
Administrators may edit all member record data |
Data Availability |
Volunteers building other web stuff could insert components that link to non-restricted member data. |
Data Field Record Groups |
Some fields need to be grouped together into
(field groups) |
example: (address) may contain (street)
(city) (state) (zip) (comment) |
example: (phone) may contain (area code)
(number) (label) (comment) |
Some (fields groups) should be able to list
multiple records for each member |
reason: you may want to have more than
one address, phone number, or girlfriend |
Member should be able to include a (label) and one-line
(comment) text box as part of a some (field group records) like address, phone, e-mail.... and girlfriends? |
The (label) for the (field group records) could be chosen from a drop down list
of standardized choices plus an option to enter a non standard value with limited characters |
example1 ( field group record 1 (area code) (phone number) (label)
(comments) )
John Doe (805) 963-1235 / office / 9-5 m,t,th,f |
example2 ( field group record 2 (area
code) (phone number) (label)
(comments) )
John Doe (805) 963-4567 / Sally's / on weekends |
Member should be able to set 1st & 2nd defaults in
a list of (field group records) |
Default (field group records) could be selected from a drop down list showing
the (field group records) |
Area Code |
Phone numbers should have a separate field for
(area code) with 805 as the default |
Future developers that reference the data can then choose
whether or not they want to include the area code |
Queries could return the phone number with or without
the (area code)
or if 805, return number without (area code) / if not 805,
return number with (area code) |
Other Fields |
Text Box field for personal info and news |
Member can edit his own text box field after
logging on |
Fields for 3 jpg files |
100 x 100 pixels, 200 x 200 pixels, 300 x 500 pixels |
Gives future developers standardized material
for other web stuff |
Birthday, Spouse, Children, Ratings, USHGA exp
date, link to personal web site |
Administrative Fields |
Payment Records, Meeting Attendance Records |
Text box for administrative notes |
|
So the list is a bit ambitious and may not be technically feasible or cost
effective. Since it's all volunteer labor, I guess we'll be appreciative
of what ever we get.
