Using an ISA server for NetCommunity

1e474abb-aa61-4d7e-a54d-b63435742b14 — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:10:04 GMT

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has used an ISA server in their hardware setup? I know Blackbaud do not support this option, but unfortunately the only way we could deliver the project was by using an ISA server. Has anyone else done this? We are facing some serious problems regarding the time it takes for a page to load, it would be very helpful to find out if anyone else using an ISA server has faced this and how you resolved the problem.

Many thanks, Amy.

Finding which page or part a document ID relates to. How do you do it?

541BDD5E-1D72-4C6C-9A82-2CD60A4EE552 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:48:33 GMT

A user approached me to say that they had seen a document of ours in the public domain. Looking at this link http://www.companyname.com/NetCommunity/Document.Doc?id=405 it was hosted on our server in the public space when in fact it should be out of view to the public.

How can I find out which page or part has doc?id=405 on it? That way I can go to the part or page and set viewing rights.

Online donors are a key growth segment for nonprofit organizations. The average online donor gives more initially and has a higher lifetime value than a conventional donor. Therefore, the importance of online giving as a growing revenue stream and website visitors as a target market worth focusing on cannot be underestimated. To enrich current relationships, establish new relationships, and encourage all constituents to interact and give online, nonprofits must shift from offering a static, marketing-centric website to a dynamic, interactive, and constituent-centric website.
