As with most things I know, this was pointed out to me by another smart person, Bilal Jeewa of ASI Consulting - Europe.

There is a standard feature of Content Manager 5.1 that accomodates display of dynamic content in template sections, by Navigation Section.

What does that mean? Well the issue I was trying to resolve was to have a different image appear in the body header based on the navigation section the page was in.

Sometimes a custom Crystal Report is needed which does not use the iMIS search dialog boxes. This is usually the case when there are nested queries and multiple joins. This solution was created to permit the generation of a Member Card export that inserts an Activity recording the generation. Because we did not use a search dialog, we could not use the option PRINT_CREATE_ACTIVITY. So... I based the report on a stored procedure. The key is that you must do the insert part of the stored proc before you do the select for the data. I tried it the other way around, and the inserts of the tracking activities did not complete. I do not have a certain explanation, but apparently Crystal closes the stored proc connection as soon as all the data is returned. So insert would start, but stop only about 10% through the update. Simply moving it to the top seems to have solved the problem. Here is a sample of the stored proc: USE [iMIS_DEV] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[asiconsulting_MemberLabels_RenewPackets] Script Date: 02/01/2008 10:05:10 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS OFF GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[asiconsulting_MemberLabels_RenewPackets] @BeginDate datetime, @EndDate datetime AS /****** create cursor to select the records to update and insert into Activity table */ DECLARE MEMPACKET cursor for select n.ID from Name n Join Name_Address na ON n.MAIL_ADDRESS_NUM = na.ADDRESS_NUM Join Subscriptions s ON n.ID=s.ID and s.PRODUCT_CODE='Basic_DUES' Left Outer Join Name n2 ON n.ID = n2.CO_ID and n2.MEMBER_TYPE = 'JNTS' where n.Member_record = 1 and n.Member_type <> 'JNTS' and n.Status = 'A' and N.PAID_THRU >= GetDate() and na.Status = '' and s.Date_Added not between @BeginDate and @EndDate and s.PAYMENT_DATE between @BeginDate and @EndDate DECLARE @ID varchar(10) Open MEMPACKET fetch next from MEMPACKET into @ID While @@FETCH_STATUS<>-1 BEGIN Declare @Result int, @NewActSeqn int exec @Result=sp_iboGetCounter 'Activity',1,@NewActSeqn output insert into Activity (SEQN,ID,NOTE,ACTIVITY_TYPE,Other_code,SOURCE_SYSTEM,PRODUCT_CODE,TRANSACTION_DATE) values (@NewActSeqn,@ID,'','MEMPACKET','Renewal','MEMBER','',GetDate()) fetch next from MEMPACKET into @ID END close MEMPACKET deallocate MEMPACKET /****** Use exactly the same selection criteria as the cursor for the selected output in the Crystal report */ select n.ID,n.MEMBER_TYPE, n.PAID_THRU, n.Full_Name, n2.FULL_NAME as JNTS_NAME,n.COMPANY,na.Address_1,na.Address_2, na.Address_3,na.City, na.State_Province, n.Country, na.ZIP, n.Last_First, n.Join_Date, s.Bill_Thru, s.Date_Added, s2.PRODUCT_CODE as MAILMETHOD from Name n Join Name_Address na ON n.MAIL_ADDRESS_NUM = na.ADDRESS_NUM Join Subscriptions s ON n.ID=s.BT_ID and PRODUCT_CODE='iMIS_DUES' Left Outer Join Name n2 ON n.ID = n2.CO_ID and n2.MEMBER_TYPE = 'JNTS' Left Outer Join Subscriptions s2 ON n.ID = s2.ID and s2.PRODUCT_CODE in ('AIRMAIL','FIRSTCLASS') where n.Member_record = 1 and n.Member_type <> 'JNTS' and n.Status = 'A' and N.PAID_THRU >= GetDate() and na.Status = '' and s.Date_Added not between @BeginDate and @EndDate and s.PAYMENT_DATE between @BeginDate and @EndDate Use this stored proc as the datasource for your Crystal Report

Frequently, customers have a previous website where they have logins and passwords they would like to preserve in a new iMIS based website.

The following is sample Coldfusion code on how to access the new i15 MembershipWebService and user the RegisterWebUser method to load logins and passwords into iMIS in bulk.

This can also be modifled to replace the Generate Logins functionality of e-SEries by pre assigning logins and passwords based on a formula.

Attached is a document with specifics on how to use the iMIS15 MembershipWebService to login a user from a third party site.

Please comment with any errors, omissions or additions you may have.

80% of the development of this process was done with the help of Eric Means.

Thanks,

Mike

I am working on an integration project for a client. In iMIS 15 how do you link directly to a registration page for a specific event?

They want to bypass the event calendar and marketing page.
