PIPA Clubs: reviewed and added some new functionalities

As already mentioned in this topic http://www.pipa.be/en/community/forum/pipa-clubs-system-will-be-reviewed, we recently reviewed the PIPA Clubs pages. From now, clubs will be able to publish news items. A club doesn't have to create a result to make an announcement. It can easily do that through the club news item.

As of today, you will also be able to follow a club.

Reviewing the layout

As you can see, most pages are looking much better and are looking much more userfriendly. The links are made more logical, the breadcrumb is working fine now and the layout is just so much better. We want you to easily and quickly navigate from club to club.

Club results vs. club news

A club manager (or co-manager) will be able to decide to publish a result item OR a news item. Each of these items will be split up in 2 different pages. This makes it easier to browse the archive of results/news items.

A new result or a new news item will automatically appear at the frontpage/overview page of a club. So when a new item gets submitted, every user will be able to see this item in the overview page.

Following a club

In the previous project of PIPA Clubs, you could apply for membership. But as of today, we changed this functionality to follow a club. When you follow a club, this club will appear in a seperate list. This list can be reached by clicking on Clubs > My Clubs. This doesn't mean you are a member of this club, it just means you are following it, because you could have some interests in it.

Troubles, questions, ... ?

In case of troubles, or in case of questions, feel free to read this page http://www.pipa.be/nl/content/hoe-kan-ik-club-results-plaatsen. It will explain you (unfortunately, in Dutch ...) how to work with the new club pages. You can also contact us at:

What's next?

We will translate the club pages, and we will create some tutorials (in different languages), describing the procedure to create a club, a news item or a (race) result. We will review some backend administration pages as well. Those pages will make it easy to handle incoming club subscriptions.
