Up until now lettuceshare has only been suitable for groups that meet on a weekly basis. It's been a high priority to make the dates more flexible so that groups can pick a calendar date to order and purchase on, rather than a week day. I'm glad to say this is now available, and earlier in the year than I was expecting.
One other change I've made is to the Roster module. The roster has been well used by most groups, but I wanted to extend the concept for other members who might not put their name down but do a lot of work none the less. These members are generally already listed in the system under different permission groups to give them access to administrator pages, so I've allowed these groups to be listed on the roster but not shown in the options. This means your members won't be able to select a working group as a role, but you will be able to add and remove them as needed.
To do this you must first have edit permission to your roster page. Then when you add a role, make sure the "Display in menu" checkbox is not checked and it will be added to the list of working groups.
Lastly, when the purchase page is in volunteer mode it will now show reminders if your group is configured to show them and the member purchasing hasn't volunteered recently. Members currently in working groups won't be shown reminders either.
