Target Audience:
External – Potential New Members, Other Women’s Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, Students, Politicians, etc.
Internal – Headquarters, Federation, Region, Clubs and Members.
Access Control:
A sophisticated access control system has been incorporated to mimic the organisational structure. Certain members have access to creating/updating certain content areas with inheritance of rights. All members have view rights. Rights are easilu transferable annually as those performing roles within the organisation change.
Joomla was selected early in the process for its ability to match the requirements. At the time, version 1.5 wasn’t available.
A number of components, modules and plug-ins have being installed including (but not limited to): JACL Plus, DeepPockets, DocMan, Chrono Forms, JCE and sh404SEF.
Our preference would have been to use core access control, which really was the most significant requirement of the project, but it wasn’t available.
The site was launched in March 2009 and so far is holding up well. Positive feedback is being fielded from members with some also providing suggestions for improvement.
The Joomla community has been terrific in its help along the way and we have tried to share some of our experiences in relevant forum threads.
We are already planning what functionality we will be adding in phase 2.
