      • Groups

        Create a group section.

        ---
        Family members can create more stakeholders, and show what they are interested.
        The groups section, you can do the same as in these social networks. A light overview page with the latest news, articles, members, etc., a site where all members of the group will be shown a page where you can create news, or better yet, a small forum.
        would be good even if you can incorporate their own pages, so you can display certain content in a particular group. For example, you have a poker group, the results of the last games.

                      so galleries can be locked from say younger members or forum threads due to the content in them, this could also be extended to allow for galleires to be mamnaged by more than one person, so multipul people ie a group could put images into a gallery category

                          FCMS 2.5

                          We are planning on creating a mobile version of the site as part of FCMS 2.5.

                          To be able to upload files to the site (without creating an iPhone App and an Android App) we will use existing apps that make uploading from the default browsers possible.

                        • show picture in the family tree

                          can we please show a small picture of the person next to their name in the family tree, as this makes the appearance of the tree a lot better and personal.

                          • Import GEDCOM file to create Family tree

                            Hi can we please add a feature that enables us to import GedCom file. This will be really good as you create a family tree on your desktop and upload it straight into the website.

                            This is a universal format for GEnealogical Data COMmunication and this will increase the user base.

                            With this we can pull alot more users from other paid sites.

                                That is correct. If someone knows the exact url of an image, it can be viewed by anyone. It doesn’t matter if they are logged in or even if they have an account.

                                I’ve searched for a few solutions for this issue, but so far all of them require the installation and setup of FCMS to be too difficult for the typical user.

                              • Public Content

                                I would appreciate the ability to create content that can be seen without logging in. I.e. whenever you create something, have the ability to select one or more access levels that can view the content. this would imply that the home page can load and display some stuff without forcing a visitor to log in. (think of the app as representation of a family towards its friends)

                                  Possibility to enter multiple email addresses. With a distinction between work and private email addresses. The user sets the private email address as default one. But family can select or find, the work email, for urgent or important messages. If impossible, could it be made compatible with the outlook contacts?

                                          • Public/Shared Photo Gallery Categories

                                            I would like to have the abbility to group diffrent galleries... For example my site has 6 diffrent christmas categories for diffrent years and users... I would like to be able to group them so you can select a christmas group and see all the categories available... this would be simillar to looking at a members gallery and seeing all the categories they for that member...
