Salsa Supporters BETA

Posted by gengel on April 14, 2010 at 3:16pm

Hey everyone,

There hasn't been much activity posted here in some time, so maybe this will get things rolling again. Has anyone done any interesting Salsa implementations recently? We have!

4Site just put out a Beta release of the Salsa Supporters module. The initial release uses Daniel's fantastic Salsa API to generate a "profile" page (similar to the Drupal built-in profile page) based on Salsa data. It also lets users change their data and can even collect data during user registration. (Useful for collecting zip codes!) Admins have full control over which fields get synchronized and which roles have access to which features. Data is also made fully available to Views, so if you'd rather use the data that way than in the profile page, that works, too. This module has been useful to us and our clients, but it's also a good example of what can be built on top of the Salsa API module. You can check out a walk-through of the set-up process on our blog.

This is still just a beta right now, but we'd love to get some feedback - both to polish up the edges on this release as well as generate feature ideas for the 7.x release. If you think this might be useful to your org, check it out!

I still get requests about this all the time, but I'm not an active DIA user any more. Tell us more about what you've done!

There's a basic setup

There's a basic setup walkthrough on the 4Site Blog, and it has some screenshots of the admin section. This will give you some idea of what kinds of fields can be hooked up. I'll post a few more screenshots of the profile pages and Views integration a bit later.
