Logout timeout

I've been on my website off and on all day working on it, printing name tags, etc. and it seems that I've had to log back in several times. Is this a new behavior or have I not noticed it before?

Second question. While printing name tags I noticed that {{caward}} is an option. For nametags, I would like to omit these, but the only way they are entered in Membership Management is by appending them to the last name. How would I designate their award level such that it could be kept but excluded in the nametags? The only place this variable appears is in the nametag help page.

If you use the firstname lastname variables to "piece together" the name, you can avoid the other stuff.

At some point I am likely going to have to do another pass on the nametag variables as some of them are kind of tied to the traditional TM program.

I’ve attached a screenshot of our member list. The award level is part of the name. If there were either a separate field for the award or for example a rule that adding a comma separates the name from the award it would work.

Marc, a comma is necessary in the names for the code to be able to parse the names correctly--the name parser looks for a certain pattern to be able to decipher the names in Membership Management. Without a comma, the award letters will be assumed to be the last name. I do not think that requiring the comma is an unreasonable expectation. When I revamped the Membership Management module a few years ago, I grappled with creating separate first and last name fields. However, as I only expected them to be used in name tags at the time, I did not think there was enough benefit to warrant making admins change the way that names were entered.

My first question was: I've been on my website off and on all day working on it, printing name tags, etc. and it seems that I've had to log back in several times. Is this a new behavior or have I not noticed it before?
