Exploration of single sign on functionality

3 months ago

An increasing number of our customer organisations need an option to involve their constituents when providing services to them or asking constitutents to contribute or support them. For that purpose, we have been building portals and over the recent year have also included the file storage options that Nextcloud provides. One of our clients also considers adding Moodle to the set of applications to involve their supporters.

Upgrade with Confidence: Automating CiviCRM Regression Tests with Behat

8 months 2 weeks ago

CiviCRM is a great fit for mission-driven organizations because it delivers what proprietary platforms typically can’t: true ownership of your data and the ability to meet unique business requirements. But, as we know from experience, the more complex the system, the more complex the upgrade process can be. “Complex” isn’t bad, but it should be planned for when looking ahead at projected costs for maintaining system security and functionality.

The Entity Construction Kit - a development journey

8 months 4 weeks ago

If you attended the San Francisco CiviCon in May this year, or watched Coleman's very entertaining "Less Code, More Features" presentation on the evolvement of how data structures have been modeled in CiviCRM over the years, you have seen a seemingly unconspicious CiviCRM extension in action, the Entity Construction Kit, or ECK in short.
