Site Administration

Admin home page with links to important places to maintain and administer site:

Issue and decisions for directors related to site, artist application, etc:
1. Over all application system, wording, terminology, graphics
2. Categories on artist app for primary and secondary, do we need a third “Additional Category”
3. Fist step is Payment. If we accept checks, sld we use dwnld form, sld we charge more.

Must complete issues before app system is completely ready:
1. User variable to double check when user completes each page of the process.
2. Send email with registration information after first step.

Complete for multi-year application management system
1. Issues with past year check boxes for last 5 years
2. Easy turn on / off registration based on date settings
3. Auto handling of setting app variables, titles etc for new year

Site development to do list:
0. Remove post meta from App Photo Upload page
0. Admin application enable / disable, with selection of which year to apply for.
0. Add ‘Other booth participants or artist contacts.
0. Terms of application pop-up page thickbox or window
1. Log information about what computer and browser applicants are using when they apply.
2. Custom post that contains hardcoded app data, is listed on profile page and has reviews or rating.
3. Customize ’404 Not Found’ error page, and other error pages with funny graphic.
4. Customize ‘Not logged in’ error page
5. Create short codes for displaying step 1-4 graphic header on application pages
6. Stream line page templates and functions file.
7. Make ‘Remember Me’ check box is available on the login page.
8. Create section with case statement on register page to reload login form for existing users to begin registration.
9. Verbiage about maximum file size of 1.2M, or should it be 800K?
Things not to forget:
1. Once artists are approved, they need to be sent an exhibitor packet with a W-9 to be sent in before final acceptance.
