tjw161 said: it was only a month since my original post. It really is irritating to be logged into the main site then have to log in again on the next page to then get denied access to the directory. After I log in a third time I then have to log into the www2.gcsaa.org to access the directory. On average it takes 3 to 4 log ins to get to the directory.
Jason fyi, try clicking on the online directory button after it denies you. then it will take you to the directory.
Some History...During 2011 we
(the IT staff) have been rewriting each piece of our system and moving the newly finished product to a more powerful and stable platform. In the past our systems would fail periodically because of power outages based on storms, brownouts, etc. First we moved the Job Boards, then the forums and most currently the new .org site. As we moved each system, it was disconnected from the old login process and was given its own process.
And Now Back To Present Time...As discussed in the Chapter Delegates Meeting, our goal is to implement a process that will allow for each user to move from one of our systems to another without having to login each time. We are implementing that process first between the new site and the self assessment tool. Once they are linked together we will begin joining the Job Boards into the fold and then these forums. Basically, there will be a central login place that everything looks to in order to determine if a user is logged in. Once logged into any of the new systems, the user is automatically logged into all of the new systems.
On To The Future...It would take too much time and effort to link the old system into our new systems. Instead we will begin moving the remaining sections of the old site, piece by piece. And as these pieces are moved over users will be able to skip the login process for that piece.
Any thoughts on which part should be moved first??? Online Directory? One of the Super Tools? Some other part?
