Divi Update – Target Completion July 1, 2021

The Rec Centers are currently in the process of updating all SCWClubs.com websites to “The Latest Divi Builder Experience” by July 1, 2021.  Club Presidents and all Content Managers for a website will be notified when your club has been migrated.

We find this new version very close to the current Divi Builder so this should be an easy transition for you, our Club Content Managers.

NextGen Gallery – Do Not Use

As published here last July 14, 2020, all new photo galleries should now be done with the Divi “Gallery” Module and not the NextGen Gallery plugin. You may also use the Divi “Image” Module for individual photos when appropriate.

The Rec Centers will be removing the NextGen plug-in later this year so if you wish to retain any of these pictures, please download them as soon as possible or you will loose them when the plug-in has been removed. 

We have not yet finalized a date for removal of the plug-in which will be announced in the near future.

Limits to Server Space

With over 100 SCWClubs.com websites uploading pictures and documents to the SCWClubs.com websites the Rec Centers will soon be limiting the amount of photos and documents that clubs can retain on their individual websites.  The specifics will be announced later this year.

If a club determines that the limits of the Rec Center hosted websites do not meet their needs they are encouraged to get an External Website that we will link to from the SCWClubs.com website.

Thank you,

Target Completion date to have all club websites converted is July 1, 2021

The Rec Centers will be updating all SCWClubs.com websites to “The Latest Divi Builder Experience” by this Summer.  We find this new version very close to the current Divi Builder so this should be an easy transition for you, our Club Content Managers.

Need Help?

Gene Mitofsky, our volunteer trainer, has created a video showing the Divi “Text” Module using The Latest Divi Builder Experience.  You can view it here: Divi Builder Tutorials

Gene has also created a Training Page he uses when training Content Managers.  He has updated his webpage with the latest Divi Builder and you can see a link at the top of his page.  Here’s a link:  Gene’s Training Page

Nothing else is changing regarding club website requirements

And, as always, you can submit a ticket in your dashboard if you need help or have questions.

Divi “Gallery” Module for Photo Galleries

All new photo galleries should be done with the Divi “Gallery” Module and not the NextGen Gallery plugin. You may also use the Divi “Image” Module for individual photos when appropriate.

There have been numerous issues with the NextGen Gallery plugin with every update to the system.  When we migrated all SCWClubs.com websites in 2017-2018 to the New Divi Theme we grandfathered in the NextGen Gallery plugin which should be for historical use only. 

Thank you, 
Diana

Server Maintenance Notice

After the patches are installed, they will reboot the server and you’ll be up and running.

SSL Certificate Security Warning – Resolved

The SSL Certificates update has completed.  You should no longer receive a security error.  If you continue to have any issues, please submit a ticket or email scwclubs@suncitywest.com

Thanks again for your patience as we worked through this migration.

Migration Update – Completed

We have completed the migrating of all club websites housed on scwclubs.com to a new server.  Moving the club websites to this new server will provide faster, more secure service and be more cost effective. 

The Migration took a bit longer than anticipated by our Vendor, but it is now available for updates to be made by Club Content Managers.  The SSL Certificate has still not been applied to all the domains however this should be completed within the next 48-72 hours.   

Until the SSL Certificates update has completed you may receive a security error.  Depending upon the browser you use to access the websites the screen may look similar to one of the following screens:

As a Content Manager you may elect to wait to update or view your club website or you can proceed by clicking Advanced or Details and proceed to your club website.  This will resolve itself once the SSL certificates have updated.

Thank you again for your patience as we work to improve the SCWClubs.com websites!

Migration Update – Delay by Vendor

We contacted our Vendor today and unfortunately they had an issue with the server migration so the completion has been delayed.  They anticipate it could be another 4-6 days before they complete the migration. The websites are still available for viewing. 

Please continue to hold off on populating information on your club websites as they have already taken a snapshot of the data so anything added will be lost.  

I will update this post when the migration has been completed and the websites are again available for updating.  We will also send another email to the Club Presidents and Content Managers.

Thank you again for your patience as we work to improve the SCWClubs.com websites!

Please see the important notification below that was sent to all
Club Content Managers and Club Presidents.

Of particular interest to you as Club Content Managers – Beginning Next Wednesday February 19, 2020 – Content Managers SHOULD NOT add, change or delete content on the websites during this time. 

I will update this post when the websites are back up and available.

Thanks for your patience!

*Important Notification*

February 14, 2020

Attention All Club Content Managers and Club Presidents:

The Recreation Centers of Sun City West has two important issues you need to know about:

1. We are migrating all club websites housed on scwclubs.com to a new server.  Moving the club websites to this new server will provide faster, more secure service and be more cost effective.

During the migration, visitors/viewers to your club websites will still be able to see your website content. The big difference is the Content Managers SHOULD NOT add, change or delete content on the sites during this time.  Please make any changes needed on your site prior to Wednesday, February 19, 2020. Any changes made after that date may be lost during the transition.

The migration will begin Wednesday, February 19, 2020, and for over 100 club websites it is anticipated to take 7-10 days for the entire migration to be completed.  We will notify you once the migration has been completed and you are able to again begin updating your websites.

2. Secondly, we have restricted the use of Member Validator to approved IP addresses only after becoming aware that some members were using this service at their homes. Member Validator is intended for use in club facilities only. While we understand this may be inconvenient for some, it will better protect our members’ information. All club facilities will be whitelisted by Wednesday, Feb. 19. If you have trouble accessing Member Validator after the 19th, please email scwclubs@suncitywest.com.

Thank you for your patience as we completed these upgrades for better performance and security for our members!

Thank you,

Katy O’Grady
General Services Officer
