The Dashboards block (Contributions, Memberships, and Cases menu accordingly) is available only for admin.

A few weeks prior to 24 February, I’d given up reading the news. It was a very happy time. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it’s been hard not to jump back into my Google news feed and periodically check in at NPR.

In the fall of 2021, the CiviCRM Core Team revised and published a privacy policy on https://civicrm.org that meets the requirements set forth by both the European General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act. The revised policy is available at https://civicrm.org/privacy-policy

Using Drush with Drupal is standard practice for most developers, but since CiviCRM support was removed, many find themselves having to switch between separate command-line tools for each environment.

Your Membership Site Needs a ChangeThinking about a new CiviCRM deployment for your new membership site is a promising sign that you are in tune with the growing needs of your team and your membership.

In 2021 we created a website containing Use Cases that show CiviCRM’s possibilities in combination with different CMS’s.

Combining the power of Drupal Commerce with the flexibility of CiviEvent, Skvare’s team of experts developed the Commerce CiviCRM Event Registration module allowing website managers to build a storefront that includes both events and merchandise.

Just a quick heads up that the next Community Round Table will be on 18 January 2022. These are intended to be informal community meetings (open to all) with the Core Team and Community Council. There's no formal agenda, however typcially it looks something like:
