Registration photo uploads now work reliably on phones: when a parent picks a photo it is resized and re-encoded in the browser before upload, which fixes the "Your file couldn't be accessed / ERR_UPLOAD_FILE_CHANGED" error on Android and makes large photos upload much faster (documents/PDFs are left as-is). Also fixed a 500 error when a staff/volunteer account opened their own "Edit details" page (they are now treated as a normal user for their own family).

When a card payment isn't completed (e.g. the bank's 3-D Secure check fails), the parent now sees a clear "payment not completed — try again" page with a retry button, instead of a blank confirmation. And when composing an email or SMS, staff can now paste a whole list of addresses (separated by commas, spaces or new lines) and add them all at once, rather than one at a time.

The emailed/durable payment link now lets parents choose Pay in full or Pay monthly (it was full-only), so anyone who didn't complete an instalment sign-up can retry straight from the email. New Admin > Registrations > "Incomplete instalments" report lists parents who started a monthly plan but never completed the first payment (e.g. a failed 3-D Secure check), with one-click resend. Fixed: message threads could fail to save when the preview text was long (column widened); and payment summaries now show a readable description instead of raw JSON.

New-registration alerts ("New Registration Requires Action") are now fully configurable per age group: in Set Up > Registration Alerts you choose exactly who is notified for each age group (any number of staff members and/or external email addresses). If an age group has no recipients configured, the alert falls back to the Registrations distribution-group mailbox, and finally to admins as a last resort, so a registration is never missed.

Staff can message the parents booked on a soccer camp directly from the Camps area — separate from the member mailbox. Choose the whole camp, a particular day, paid/owing only, or hand-pick parents, then send an email or SMS with {ParentName}/{ChildName}/{CampName} merge fields. Email replies come back to the sending staff member's mailbox. Every send is logged per camp.

Builds on the camp "Message parents" tool. Staff can now attach files to a camp email (PDF, images, Word, Excel or CSV — up to 10 MB), shown in the message history with download links. Camp text messages are now sent two-way by default so parents can reply — replies arrive in the existing SMS inbox (Communications > SMS); a toggle still allows a one-way branded send.

Three fixes from a log review. (1) Granting/removing a permission with no scope no longer errors. (2) Dashboard, Registrations and member pages no longer time out under load: the SQL command timeout was raised to 60s and indexes were added on Members and PaymentItems. (3) New-registration and allocation alert emails fall back to admins when no Age Group Coordinator / Secretary is assigned.

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Fixes a bug where sending a broadcast email from a mailbox (reply-tracking on) with a body longer than 200 characters failed to save: the conversation preview was 201 characters but the column holds 200, so the save threw and the message was left showing Pending even though the email had already gone out. The preview is now capped to fit, and a thread-tracking failure can no longer poison the broadcast's status save. (Existing stuck broadcasts did send - do not resend them; just set their status to Sent.)

Released by Dan Birchmore

12 Jun 2026

Comms also gains a Forward button - on both sent broadcast emails and individual mailbox thread messages - so any email can be forwarded to another address (with an optional note); each forward is recorded in the audit log. Adds the UnroutedInboundEmails table. Any inbound email that cannot be routed to a mailbox or a group with active recipients is now (1) forwarded to the admin group where possible and (2) always stored, so nothing is ever silently dropped. Staff can read and mark these handled at Comms > Unrouted inbound (email HTML is shown in a sandboxed frame so untrusted content is safe). The admin group prefix defaults to "admin" (override with Mailgun:AdminGroupPrefix).

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Designated users (the Edit-members permission) can now edit ALL fields for a player (name, DOB, playing day, FA number, medical, allergies, age group) and for a parent/guardian (name, email, phone, DOB, FA number, occupation, relationship, full address). Every change is written to the audit log field-by-field (old value to new value) with the reason given, so all edits are fully auditable. The parent editor is reached from the Full parent profile page.

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Soccer-camp online payments now go through Stripe (the same account used for registrations) instead of SumUp, after SumUp's Checkout API began rejecting our requests. Booking checkout, the day-change balance top-up, and the payment confirmation/webhook all use Stripe Checkout now. Refunds are provider-aware - new Stripe-paid bookings refund via Stripe, existing SumUp-paid bookings still refund via SumUp. Parents are redirected straight to the Stripe hosted payment page; the Stripe webhook (already used for registrations) confirms the booking, with a return-page check as a backstop.

Released by Dan Birchmore

11 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. URGENT FIX: SumUp tightened Checkout API validation and began rejecting our camp/ticket payment requests (HTTP 400 "pay_to_email or merchant_code", preceded by HTTP 500s during their rollout), so customers could not pay for soccer camps. We no longer send the deprecated pay_to_email field (merchant_code is the correct, required field), and we now retry transient SumUp 5xx errors so a brief blip no longer fails the customer. Also: the camp Attendance Register now gives staff more at a glance: the parent's phone number as a tap-to-call link (now also falls back to the parent account number, so it no longer shows blank for club-member bookings) plus the emergency contact; the child's photo/media consent (Photos OK / No photos / not set); the lunch ordered for that child on that day; and the child's headshot photo as an avatar where one is on file (served via a camp-staff-only endpoint).

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Fixes parents seeing "this checkout session has timed out" / "you're all done here" when clicking a resent payment link. The email previously contained a raw Stripe checkout URL, which Stripe kills after 24 hours - so any delay (common when chasing moved players over several days, whose original session was also cancelled) left a dead link. Resend Payment Link now emails a durable link to a new /Payment/Resume/{member} page that mints a FRESH Stripe session each time it is clicked, recalculating the current fee, so the link never goes stale. Already-paid or invalid links show a friendly message instead of a Stripe error.

11 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Fixes the confusing camp sign-in flow. Previously a new camp customer who clicked "Register now" was sent into the full team-registration wizard. Now, when signing in to book a camp, new customers are offered a lightweight "Create a quick account" page that creates a normal parent account plus a first camp-only child. Camp children capture medical/allergy details and an OPTIONAL headshot photo (encouraged, as it helps coaches recognise each child) but NOT proof of age, and no team registration. It signs them in and returns them to the camp to book. The camp "add another child" form also now takes an optional headshot. Parents are reminded to add a photo for any child that has not got one - on My Children, on the booking page, and on the child edit page - and can upload one at any time. Existing members are unaffected - they sign in and use their existing account and children.

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Builds the admin "Full parent profile" page (Admin > UserDetail), which existed as an action but had no view, so the Full parent profile button and the parent-name link on a player's page errored. The page now shows all parent details, every linked child (with age group and status), and the second parent/guardian with login/invitation status and a resend-invitation button for staff.

Released by Dan Birchmore

10 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Helps capture the parent's FA Number (FAN) and date of birth needed to link a child to the parent on the FA Whole Game System. The registration form already captured these; this release adds: (1) the parent can now add/edit their FA Number AND date of birth on their own "Your Details" page; (2) a dashboard prompt nudges any parent missing their FA Number or DOB to add it; and (3) a new admin report, Reports > Missing FA Details, lists every parent without a FAN/DOB (with their children) and exports to CSV for chasing. The FA Number remains optional at registration. The admin Parent/Guardian panel on a player's page now also shows ALL stored parent info (FAN, DOB, relationship, occupation, full address) and the second parent/guardian (secondary contact) where one was given at registration. Parents can now also see and edit their second guardian on their own "Your Details" page, and the Contact Directory report lists second guardians alongside the primary parent.

10 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Team allocation now follows the PLAYER's season instead of the club's current season, so next-season registrations can be allocated to next-season teams while the current season is still running. The Allocate-to-Team and Add-to-Team lists on a player's page now show teams from that player's own season, and both actions guard against allocating a player into a team from a different season. (Create the relevant teams for the new season first via SetUp > Teams.)

10 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. When moving a player to another season, the Move screen now lists every payment on their current season and recommends what to do with each: refund & re-charge for paid full or instalment payments (refund also cancels the subscription); cancel the subscription and void the record for an instalment set up but never paid; and void £0 / unpaid records. Each carries a one-click action (Issue Refund, or Void). Payments shared with siblings are flagged and protected from one-click actions. The existing "carry payment across" option remains for same-fee moves, but refund & re-charge is the recommended route.

Released by Dan Birchmore

10 Jun 2026

SCHEMA CHANGE: adds Seasons.IsRegistrationDefault. New registrations no longer always default to the current season — in SetUp > Seasons you can mark which open season new sign-ups default to ("Set Sign-up Default"). Point it at next season when the bulk window opens, while the current season stays open (and Current for teams/fixtures/reports) for late joiners. The season-check splash now points at the chosen default. Falls back to the current season if none is set.

Released by Dan Birchmore

10 Jun 2026

Reduces wrong-season registrations at the source. When a parent opens a registration form for a season that is not the default while another season is also open, a "Check the season" splash prompts them to confirm — with a one-click switch to the recommended season. Advisory only, and applies to all registration entry points.

Released by Dan Birchmore

10 Jun 2026

Closes the double-charge risk when a child paying by monthly instalments is moved to another season: the Move screen detects an active Stripe instalment subscription, shows how much has been paid, and offers to cancel the subscription as part of the move so no further instalments are taken. Money already paid is not auto-credited — refund separately if owed. Fully audited.

Released by Dan Birchmore

10 Jun 2026

Move to Another Season now handles families paid for in one transaction: when a child's paid registration payment also covers siblings, it can move them all to the new season together and re-stamp the shared payment, marking everyone Paid, in one audited action.

10 Jun 2026

SCHEMA CHANGE: adds Users.CanEditMembers. Designated staff can now correct a player's date of birth, medical notes and allergies from the member's page (Admin > Registrations > the player > Edit Details). Editing the date of birth recalculates the age group and clears any override, so the corrected fee follows automatically on Resend Payment Link. Junk values such as "N/A" or "None" in medical/allergies are cleared so they no longer pull through to reports. Access is limited to System Admins plus any user a System Admin ticks as "Can edit player details" on the Staff edit page. Every edit is written to the audit log.

05 Jun 2026

SCHEMA CHANGE. Admins (Admin/System Admin) can now manage individual camp bookings from a new Booking Detail page: issue a partial or full refund straight back to the parent's card via SumUp, and change a child's booked days (a straight swap, or add/drop days). Reducing days auto-refunds the difference; adding days creates a SumUp payment link the parent settles to clear the balance. Every refund and day-move REQUIRES a reason, and all changes are written to a per-booking audit history (with amount, before/after days, reason and the admin who did it). Camp discount codes also gain "valid from" and "expiry" dates so you can run early-bird offers that open and close automatically.

05 Jun 2026

SCHEMA CHANGE: adds Camps.FillingFastThresholdPercent. The camp "Max Participants" figure is now enforced as a per-day place limit. On the booking page a day that has reached the limit shows "Fully booked" and cannot be selected; a day in its last quarter of capacity shows a "Spaces filling fast" nudge to encourage booking. Exact remaining numbers are deliberately not shown. The limit is also enforced server-side: a booking is rejected if a chosen day cannot fit all the children being booked (guards against a day filling up while the parent was on the page). Counts are based on confirmed (paid) bookings. The public Camps list also shows a "Spaces filling fast" (or "Fully booked") teaser on each camp card so it stands out before a parent even opens it. The "filling fast" trigger is now configurable per camp (default 75% of a day's places).

04 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Fixes an unhandled error ("Something went wrong") when a secretary allocated a fixture to a pitch. The pitch-clash capacity check built its overlap window inside a database query using TimeSpan.FromMinutes(<team duration column>), which EF Core cannot translate to SQL, so the request failed. This only triggered once a pitch had a format capacity configured for the team's format. The check now filters candidate fixtures in the database and evaluates the time overlap in memory, so allocation works. Pre-existing issue (logic dates to v11.0.1); unrelated to the camp features in v11.7.11.

04 Jun 2026

SCHEMA CHANGE (adds columns to Camps and CampBookings - applied by this script). Adds optional paid early drop-off and late collection (wraparound care) to soccer camps. When creating or editing a camp, an admin can switch on Early Drop-off and/or Late Collection, set the display times, and set a single fee per day that applies to each. Parents then choose early drop-off and/or late collection per day on the booking page; each adds the fee, per child, per day, to their total. If an option is not switched on for a camp (with a fee set), parents cannot book it. The per-day selections and the amount are stored on the booking and shown on the booking confirmation. LUNCH UPSELL: a camp can also optionally offer paid daily lunches. An admin switches on Meals, sets a per-day meal fee, and types a flexible list of menu options for each camp day (managed on the camp page). During booking, the parent picks one option per day or "bring my own lunch" (free); each chosen lunch adds the fee, per child, per day. The chosen meal per day is stored so catering has the numbers. PHOTO CONSENT: camp bookings now require the parent to answer a photo / media consent question (Yes / No, with an optional note) before paying. The answer is stored per booking and shown to staff on the bookings list and on the parent's confirmation.

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Fixes a sign-in problem introduced with the multi-method MFA challenge. SMS verification codes are 6 alphanumeric characters (e.g. 9J3UVQ), but the code box on the Two-Factor Authentication screen was set to accept digits only, so the browser blocked the code with "Please match the requested format" before it could be submitted. The field now accepts letters and digits when the SMS method is active (and stays numeric for email / authenticator codes). The server-side check for SMS / email codes is now case-insensitive too, with a guard so an empty code can never validate. Email and authenticator sign-in were unaffected.

Released by Dan Birchmore

03 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES (reuses the existing Messages tables). Two MFA improvements. (1) TRY ANOTHER WAY AT SIGN-IN: the two-factor sign-in screen now lets a staff member switch method - email me a code, text me a code (if a mobile is on file), use my authenticator app, or resend - instead of being locked to the single method chosen at setup. Removes the lock-out where a staff member's SMS never arrives. (2) SMS NOW LOGGED + REAL ERRORS: every MFA / sign-in SMS is recorded in the message history (number, time, and Sent/Failed with the provider's reason; the one-time code itself is not stored), and the setup screen now shows the actual send failure instead of a generic "could not send" - previously a provider-level SMS failure was reported as success with no text arriving.

03 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Follow-up to v11.7.7. Each age-group card on the Reports dashboard now shows a "Refunded" count alongside Paid in full / Instalment / Unpaid, so the per-group figures reconcile with the total (e.g. U11: 10 paid + 5 instalment + 1 refunded = 16). A complete refund sets the member's payment status to Refunded, so the card counts members in that age group whose payment was fully refunded.

Released by Dan Birchmore

03 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Adds a "Refunds" tile to the Reports dashboard top summary, showing the number of refunded payments for the selected season (payments marked Refunded / Partially Refunded, or with a refunded amount). The tile is season-aware like the rest of the dashboard and links through to the Payments report filtered to refunds. It is shown only to full-access users, because refunds are a club-wide figure whereas a scoped user's other tiles are limited to their age groups.

Released by Dan Birchmore

03 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Reporting accuracy fix. The Reports dashboard previously counted only fully-settled players under "Paid" (PaymentStatus = Paid), so families paying by monthly instalments (PaymentStatus = Instalment) were not shown anywhere - the per-age-group and top-line totals did not reconcile with Total Players. The dashboard now shows an "On Instalments" figure in the top summary and an "Instalment" count on each age-group card, and the full-payment figure is relabelled "Paid in Full" for clarity. Both link through to the Player Register filtered by payment status. REGISTRATION EMAIL SEASON: the registration confirmation (welcome) and "registration complete" emails showed the current operational season name (e.g. 2025/26) instead of the season the family actually registered for. They now use each member's own season, so a family registering for 2026/27 sees 2026/27. (Season tickets and the combined ticket email already used the correct season.) Also includes the v11.7.5 changes: explicitly-selected team / age-group Comms audiences reach all their families (no team-news opt-in gate), and the two-factor setup screen sends the anti-forgery token under the correct header so SMS / email MFA codes can be sent.

03 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Follow-up to the v11.7.4 academy recipient fix. When staff explicitly select a team or age-group audience in Comms (New Message), the message now reaches ALL of that group's families, rather than only those flagged for "Team & Age Group News". Academy families were never offered that opt-in on the academy registration form, so the flag was off and the audience still resolved to 0 recipients even though the directory counted them. The recipient resolver no longer applies the team-news subscription filter to explicitly-selected team / age-group audiences (this now matches how the All Parents audience already behaves and what the recipient count shows). The opt-in subscription flags still govern the bulk mailing lists (e.g. Club News Subscribers). Note: parents who deliberately opted out of team news will now receive explicitly-targeted team / age-group messages.

03 Jun 2026

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. The Reports area can now report on any season, not just the current one. Every report (Reports dashboard, Player Register, Team Roster, Team Register, Contact Directory and Finance) gains a Season selector. Previously all reports were hard-pinned to the current operational season, so once 2026/27 became current you could no longer report on 2025/26. The Reports dashboard shows registration completion by age group (Pending / Allocated / Registered, plus Paid / Unpaid counts per age group) for the chosen season, and every drill-down link (status cards, age-group cards, team cards and the report tiles) carries the selected season through, so clicking into the Player Register keeps you in the same season. Reports default to the current season when no season is chosen. STAFF MFA OPTIONS: the mandatory staff two-factor setup now lets each staff member choose their method on first sign-in - Authenticator app (recommended), SMS text message (when a mobile number is on file), or Email - rather than being forced onto an authenticator app. Sign-in verification already supported all three methods; this opens the same choice at first-time setup. TOTP remains the recommended, most secure option, and admins can still set or reset a staff member's method from Staff Admin. COMMS FIX: sending SMS or email to an academy audience (e.g. Foundation Academy U5/U6 or Girls Development Academy) previously resolved to 0 recipients, because academy players are grouped by age group rather than allocated to those team records. The recipient resolver now falls back to the team's age group (the same logic the recipient directory already used to count the group), so these audiences resolve their members again for both SMS and email. SEASON-AWARE COMMS: New Message now has a Season selector (shown when more than one season is active) so staff can message a future season's audiences at rollover - e.g. next season's academy / teams before flipping the current-season flag, or the outgoing season's members afterwards. It scopes the team / age-group / staff audiences and the recipient counts to the chosen season; All Parents and Club News stay club-wide. Defaults to the current season.

NO SCHEMA CHANGES. Bundles the concurrent-season admin quality-of-life work with a parent-facing payment fix. SEASON-AWARE SET UP PAGES: Set Up > Fees, Terms, Academy Term Fees and Discount Codes now each have a season switcher dropdown. While running 2025/26 and 2026/27 concurrently, admins can configure each season's rates / terms / codes directly without temporarily flipping the current-season flag. The grid and fields are unchanged — the dropdown just controls which season's values you are editing, and Save writes against the selected season. ADD TEAM honours the season filter (from v11.7.1) and these Set Up pages follow the same pattern. INSTALMENTS ON RESUME PAYMENT: the parent Dashboard Resume Payment page now offers Pay in Full or Monthly Instalments — matching what the original registration form offers — whenever the age group fee allows instalments and the member's season has a future instalment deadline. Previously a parent who started but did not finish payment was forced into a single full payment on resume, losing the instalment option they had at registration. The instalment route creates a Stripe subscription (the existing webhook handles collection), applies any instalment surcharge, and spreads the cost across the months remaining to the season deadline. Discount codes still apply and recalculate the per-instalment figure at checkout. MOVE MEMBER BETWEEN SEASONS (from v11.7.1) is also included for fixing wrong-season registrations.

Follow-up to v11.7.1 — closes out the remaining admin pages that were hardcoded to IsCurrent and so could not be edited for a non-current season. NO SCHEMA CHANGES. SET UP > FEES now accepts ?seasonId and shows a season switcher dropdown at the top. Admins can edit the AgeGroupFees table for 2026/27 while 2025/26 is still current. SET UP > TERMS now accepts ?seasonId and shows a season switcher. The Add Term form pins new terms to the season the admin was viewing (was: always IsCurrent). SET UP > ACADEMY FEES now accepts ?seasonId and shows a season switcher. The fee grid lists terms from the selected season. SET UP > DISCOUNT CODES now accepts ?seasonId and shows a season switcher. New codes are created against the season being viewed, not always IsCurrent. The header on the Create New Code panel makes the target season explicit ("Create New Code for 2026/27"). No more "flip 2026/27 to current, configure, flip back" dance — admins can now edit any active season's setup directly.

28 May 2026

Small follow-up to v11.7.0 covering the two remaining concurrent-season pain points. NO SCHEMA CHANGES. ADD TEAM RESPECTS THE SEASON FILTER: Set Up > Teams now passes the currently filtered seasonId into the + Add Team form. The form shows a clear "Adding to the 2026/27 season" badge at the top and posts a hidden SeasonId so the new team lands in the season the admin was viewing, not always IsCurrent. Previously admins had to temporarily flip the current-season flag to add teams to a non-current season. MOVE MEMBER BETWEEN SEASONS: new Admin > Member Detail > Move to Another Season action (Admin / System Admin only). Used when a parent accidentally registers a child into the wrong season on ChooseSeason. The action updates Members.SeasonId, clears TeamId, removes all MemberTeams rows (teams are per-season), optionally recalculates AgeGroupId from DOB against the new season's start year (recommended for standard age groups, ignored for academies), and resets registration to Pending / Unpaid in the new season. The original Payment row stays attached to the old season so the finance trail is preserved — admins separately handle refund/reissue if the parent already paid. Audit-logged as MoveMemberToSeason with full before/after detail.

Two (or more) seasons can now accept registrations at the same time, so late joiners can sign up for the current season while new families register for the next season. The IsCurrent season flag remains singular (it still drives fixtures, comms, availability and gate) — what is new is that any season with IsActive && IsOpen is now eligible to accept registrations. NEW SEASON-PICKER LANDING (/Registration/ChooseSeason): shown automatically when more than one season is open. Parents see a card per season with the four registration paths (Foundation Academy, Girls Development Academy, Saturday/Sunday football, Isthmian Youth) and pick the one that applies to their child. If only one season is open the landing page transparently redirects to the existing form, so behaviour is identical to v11.6.x until a second season is opened. SEASON-AWARE REGISTRATION: all five registration entry points (Index, FoundationAcademy, GirlsDevelopmentAcademy, IsthmianYouth, SelfRegister) accept an optional ?seasonId= parameter that pins the form to the chosen season. The form POST honours a new hidden TargetSeasonId field, so Member, Payment, Term and AgeGroupFee lookups all resolve against the parent's chosen season instead of falling back to IsCurrent at POST time. AJAX fee, discount-code and age-group suggestions also honour the chosen season so the live form total matches the Stripe checkout amount. ADD-CHILD GAP FIX (folded in from the planned v11.6.2): a logged-in parent with any active child anywhere now auto-skips the parent-details steps when adding a sibling — fixes the Rosie/Indie scenario where adding a sister to Girls Development Academy was sending the parent through the standard registration flow rather than the academy-specific one. ADMIN: Admin > Registrations has a new Season dropdown when more than one season exists, so admins can switch between seasons without leaving the page. Dashboard "Add Player" and the home page "Register" buttons now go to /Registration/ChooseSeason. NO SCHEMA CHANGES — version history only.

Bug fix: the registration and Edit Child / Add Child forms displayed "max 25MB" for player headshot photos and ID documents but the underlying JavaScript and server-side validators were still enforcing the legacy 5MB / 10MB limits — so parents with modern phone cameras (HEIC, large JPEGs) were getting "File is too large. Maximum size is 5MB" alerts even though the label said 25MB. This release aligns every layer (site.js client-side guard, RegistrationController.RegisterPost validator, DashboardController.AddChild and EditChild validators) on the 25MB ceiling, and extends the accepted formats list to include HEIC / HEIF / WebP / TIFF / TIF alongside the existing JPG / PNG (and PDF for ID documents) to match the page labels. No schema changes; no data migration required.

PHOTO / MEDIA CONSENT: New PhotoConsent (Yes / No) plus optional restrictions note captured on every registration form (Index, Foundation Academy, Girls Development Academy, Isthmian Youth, Self-register). Existing members can update consent at any time via the parent dashboard EditChild page. Admins can see consent status on the MemberDetail page. Stored on Members.PhotoConsent (BIT NULL — null means legacy registration, not yet captured) and Members.PhotoConsentRestrictions (NVARCHAR(500) NULL). TEAM REGISTER EXPORT: New coach-friendly attendance register at Reports > Team Register. Pick a team and the number of upcoming sessions (4-12), then open the print view for an A4 layout listing each paid-up player (PaymentStatus = Paid or Instalment) with name, DOB, photo consent status (highlighted), allergies and medical notes, plus tickbox columns for the next N sessions. Session dates auto-computed from the team's PlayingDay (Saturday / Sunday / Both / Midweek). Print via the browser (Ctrl+P or save as PDF). Accessible to anyone with Players.CanRead at any team scope (managers, coaches, AGCs, secretary, admin).

ADMIN — RESEND PAYMENT LINK: Admins, Secretary, Finance and Director roles can now resend a Stripe payment link to a parent for any unpaid registration. A new Resend Pay Link button appears on the Registrations list and Member Detail pages for members in Pending or AwaitingPayment status with PaymentStatus = Unpaid. The button calculates the outstanding fee from the member's age group, playing day and current term, creates a Stripe Checkout session, sets the member to AwaitingPayment, and emails the parent a fresh pay-now link. Audit-logged as PaymentLinkResent. New AwaitingPayment option in the Registrations status filter. New email template payment-link.html. PARENT — RESUME PAYMENT: Parents now have a prominent Resume Payment button on the Dashboard for any of their children at Pending or AwaitingPayment status with PaymentStatus = Unpaid (replaces the small Complete payment link). The Resume Payment page shows the outstanding fee, lets the parent enter a discount code with live validation, and redirects to Stripe — no admin involvement required. If a discount code reduces the total to zero, the member is marked Paid (and Registered with team auto-assignment for academy members) without going to Stripe. The legacy RetryPayment route now redirects to ResumePayment for backwards compatibility. BUG FIX — academy zero-fee escape: academy registrations submitted without a SelectedTermId or with no matching AcademyTermFees row no longer slip silently through the £0 path — the form now blocks submission with a clear error so the parent re-selects a term instead of producing a stuck Pending/Unpaid member. BUG FIX — free registration status: genuinely-free registrations (totalFee = 0) now create a £0 Payment record and mark members Registered/Paid (academy) or Paid (standard), mirroring the discount-free path so admins can distinguish free registrations from broken zero-fee ones in the admin view.

Added dedicated registration flow for the Isthmian Youth Team at /Registration/IsthmianYouth. This team plays midweek only, so the playing day is fixed to "Midweek" instead of Saturday/Sunday/Both. Added MidweekFee column to AgeGroupFees so admins can configure midweek registration fees per age group via the Fees admin page. The registration workflow (parent details, address, player details, payment, terms) is otherwise identical to the standard registration process.

Fixed referee allocation queue not showing confirmed fixtures — the Queue query filtered only for FixtureRequest.Status = "Allocated", but when a referee accepts the fixture status changes to "Confirmed", excluding it from the query. Confirmed counter always showed zero. Also fixed inconsistent decline status in legacy token handler. Redesigned the Queue view: status counters are now clickable filters (All, Needs Action, Awaiting Reply, Confirmed, Declined) and fixtures display in a sortable table layout instead of cards, with client-side filtering. Default view shows all fixtures.

26 Feb 2026

Payment audit log entries now show the parent's name instead of "—". All payment-related audit calls (Payment, PaymentFailed, PaymentOverdue, PaymentRefunded) resolve the parent name from the Users table. Admin-initiated actions (StripeSync, SubscriptionCancelled, RefundIssued, RefundFailed) now pass the logged-in admin name. Security alert emails no longer fire on successful sign-in or MFA code dispatch — alerts now only trigger on failed MFA attempts (someone has the password but not the second factor).

Released by Dan Birchmore

26 Feb 2026

CRASH FIX: SuggestAgeGroup AJAX endpoint threw ArgumentOutOfRangeException when the browser sent a partial or malformed date of birth during registration — now validates parsed date is between 1900 and today before performing any age calculations, and guards DateOnly construction against out-of-range year values. Payment copy corrected: "Direct Debit" replaced with card / monthly card payments throughout registration (Stripe card only). All parent details and address fields enforced as mandatory client-side.

Released by Dan Birchmore

26 Feb 2026

All Needs Attention panel items now poll every 60 seconds and update without page disruption: unread messages, pending fixture requests, pending registrations, referee allocations (pending and declined), availability gaps, governance overdue actions, expiring qualifications, and unpaid fees. Each count is role-gated server-side using the same scope checks as the main dashboard load. Cards are injected dynamically if not present at page load. Bell pulses on any new arrival. Email thread messages ordered most-recent-first. Fixed Staff account ownership checks on Thread and Reply actions.

**Major UX overhaul — role-aware Dashboard hub replaces dropdown navigation.** ### Dashboard Hub - Dashboard is now a **role-aware hub** that shows different tiles, stats, and alerts depending on your role - **Parents** see their children, availability requests, payment alerts, and quick links - **Managers/Coaches** see team-focused tiles: Fixtures, Availability, Comms, and Reports - **Admins** see the full operational command centre: pending registrations, compliance alerts, all management tiles, and Setup access - **GateStaff** see a focused view with Gate Dashboard and reader pairing - **TicketAdmin** sees ticketing management tiles and reports - **Finance/Directors** see financial stats, unpaid fees, and payment reports - Attention-needed alerts appear at the top with clickable badges linking directly to the relevant pages - Notification badges on tiles show pending counts (registrations, messages, fixtures, qualifications) ### Simplified Navigation - Removed the three dropdown menus (Match Day, Ticketing, Club) from the top navigation bar - Navigation is now: **Home | Tickets | Register | Dashboard | User menu** - All operational links previously in dropdowns are now accessible from the Dashboard hub tiles - Much cleaner experience on mobile devices - User dropdown simplified to just Edit Details and Sign Out ### What's Unchanged - All existing sub-pages (Members, Fixtures, Availability, Comms, Compliance, Reports, SetUp, etc.) remain exactly the same - Registration flow unchanged - Backend logic, data access, and API endpoints unchanged - SetUp page unchanged (it was already the gold standard)

20 Feb 2026

Major architectural change. New Staff table replaces the overloaded Parents table for all platform users (managers, coaches, AGCs, admin assistants, finance, directors, gate staff). Staff members are managed in a single table with optional ParentId link for staff who are also parents. Access is scoped via StaffTeamAccess (grants a role on a specific team — strict, no cross-team visibility) and StaffAgeGroupAccess (grants a role across an entire age group). Global admin access is via Staff.IsAdmin flag. Legacy UserRoles/TeamStaff/UserAgeGroups tables retained for backward compatibility during migration. Added two-factor authentication (MFA) with three methods: TOTP via Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator (preferred — QR code enrolment, 6-digit code validation with ±1 time-step drift tolerance), email code, and SMS code. MFA can be required per user at admin discretion via Staff.MfaRequired flag. MFA setup and challenge screens added to login flow. Replaced AES-256 C# encryption with SQL Server ENCRYPTBYPASSPHRASE/DECRYPTBYPASSPHRASE for staff passwords. Passwords can now be decrypted directly in SSMS using the passphrase from appsettings.json. Legacy AES encryption retained for existing parent accounts. New Staff management UI: create, edit, deactivate staff; assign team and age group access with roles; set MFA requirements; link to parent accounts; reset MFA. DataAccessService updated to read from Staff tables first with legacy fallback. AccountController updated to authenticate against Staff table first (with MFA flow) then Parents as fallback.

20 Feb 2026

Fixed gate sale screen freezing on "Waiting for payment..." after the customer had already tapped and paid on the Solo reader. Root cause: the previous code used CreateReaderCheckoutAsync which hit POST /v0.1/merchants/{merchant}/readers/{reader}/checkout — this creates a checkout directly on the reader and returns a reader-specific transaction ID, not a standard SumUp checkout ID. When the browser polled for payment status via GET /v0.1/checkouts/{id}, the ID did not exist as a checkout, so the status always returned empty and the UI stayed on PENDING indefinitely. Card payments were processing correctly throughout — the money was taken — but the app could not confirm it. Fix: replaced with a two-step flow. Step 1: create a standard checkout via POST /v0.1/checkouts (returns a proper pollable checkout ID). Step 2: send that checkout to the Solo reader via POST /v0.1/checkouts/{id}/readers/{reader_id} (reader displays the payment). The poll endpoint GET /v0.1/checkouts/{id} now works because both steps share the same checkout ID. Also corrected the SendToReaderAsync endpoint from PUT /v0.1/checkouts/{id} to POST /v0.1/checkouts/{id}/readers/{reader_id} per the SumUp Cloud API specification.

Released by Dan Birchmore

20 Feb 2026

Fixed gate sale error "The string did not match the expected pattern" — caused by System.Text.Json failing to serialise the full TicketOrder EF entity (circular navigation properties) in the AJAX response. Gate sale responses now return flat DTOs (OrderRef, TotalAmount, TicketCount, SoldBy) instead of EF entities. Payments were processing correctly on SumUp throughout — only the browser response was failing. Added operator tracking: the logged-in user's name is displayed in the gate header, shown in sale success messages, and listed against every gate sale in the Stats tab's Recent Gate Sales feed (amount, order ref, operator name, time). SoldByParentId was already being recorded on every gate order — now resolved to display name via Parent lookup. Added multi-reader support: appsettings.json now supports a SumUp:Readers array with Id and Name per reader. When multiple readers are configured, a dropdown appears on the Sell tab so gate staff can choose which Solo to send payment to. Legacy SoloReaderId/SoloReaderId2 fields still work as fallback. Added [IgnoreAntiforgeryToken] to all Gate AJAX endpoints (CheckIn, GateSale, CancelGateSale) to prevent token validation issues on mobile browsers.

20 Feb 2026

New Gate Dashboard for match-day operations — three-tab interface (Scan / Sell / Stats) accessible to GateStaff, TicketAdmin, and Admin roles. Scan tab: QR code scanning via device camera using the BarcodeDetector API with fallback manual ticket code entry. Validates both standard match tickets and season tickets, prevents double check-in, and records who checked in each person. Sell tab: gate staff select ticket quantities, system creates order with auto-check-in, and sends payment directly to the paired SumUp Solo card reader via the Cloud API. Payment status polling every 2 seconds with pending overlay and cancel option. Free entries (e.g. Child tickets) recorded instantly without card reader. Optional customer details capture for SMS/email ticket delivery. Stats tab: live attendance figures auto-refreshing every 15 seconds — total attendance, checked in, season ticket holders, gate sales, advance sales, and comp tickets with breakdown by ticket type and sale channel. SumUp Solo reader pairing page for admins with step-by-step instructions. SumUp Cloud API integration updated — CreateReaderCheckoutAsync sends payments directly to the Solo reader via POST /v0.1/merchants/{merchant}/readers/{reader}/checkout endpoint. Reader status polling and webhook support for payment confirmation. appsettings.json populated with SumUp API credentials, merchant code, affiliate key, and paired reader ID. Gate sales auto-check-in customers at point of sale. Pending payments can be cancelled, which voids the order and marks tickets as cancelled. New GateController with AJAX endpoints: CheckIn, GateSale, PollPayment, CancelGateSale, LiveStats, PairReader. New Gate Dashboard and PairReader views.

Fixed Stripe webhook failure: API version mismatch between Stripe account (2020-08-27) and Stripe.net library (47.4.0) caused all webhook events to return 400. Added throwOnApiVersionMismatch: false to ConstructEvent and upgraded Stripe account API version. Fixed webhook endpoint URL (was pointing to old membership subdomain). Fixed orphan order cleanup: when SumUp checkout creation fails, the order and ticket records are now immediately deleted instead of being left as phantom Pending records. Fixed all dashboard, gate, and report queries to only count tickets from paid orders. Fixed season ticket check-in FK error (CheckedInByParentId was not being set). Fixed gate scanner CSRF token issues on JSON endpoints.

Messages exceeding the maximum are blocked before sending. Estimated cost per recipient and total cost shown in real time based on number of recipients selected. Every SMS sent — whether by staff from Comms, or by the system for availability requests, reminders, and change notifications — is tracked with segment count, cost per segment, and total cost. New SMS Settings page under Set Up allows admins to configure the rate per segment and maximum segments. New SMS Usage report shows monthly cost breakdown by sender with detailed message-level view for bill reconciliation. ViewMessage page now shows segment count and cost for SMS messages. New AppSettings table stores configurable system settings. Changed EveryMessage DeliveryReceipt parameter from 1 to 0 — delivery receipts are still polled from the API but this stops the service sending summary delivery notifications as inbound SMS messages. DATABASE: Run AddSmsCostTracking.sql before deploying.

Fixed refund staff alert emails showing raw HTML tags instead of rendered content in the Comms inbox — the ViewMessage page now correctly detects HTML in email bodies that start with div/table/p tags (previously only detected full HTML documents). Parents now receive a branded refund confirmation email when a refund is processed, with refund amount, player names, refund type (full/partial), reason, and a note that the refund may take 5–10 business days to appear. Parent notification is sent for both in-app refunds and Stripe webhook refunds.

Fixed refund form freezing after clicking Process Refund (disabled button was preventing form submission). Fixed deactivation form same issue. Corrected age group MinAge/MaxAge values to match FA grassroots school year system — age is calculated on 31 Aug of the season start year. U12 now correctly spans two school years (Year 8 + 9, ages 12–13). Age group suggestion now shows birth date range and calculated school year age for transparency. Run SQL/FixAgeGroupRanges.sql to update age group definitions.

Deactivating a member now opens a dedicated confirmation page showing their details, team memberships, and any payments eligible for refund. Admins can enter a reason for deactivation, choose whether to issue a refund (full, single instalment, or custom amount), and provide a justification. The system deactivates the member, removes them from all teams, and optionally redirects to the refund page with pre-filled details. Reactivation remains a single click. Refunds can also still be issued after deactivation from the member payment history. Every action (deactivation, team removal, refund decision, reactivation) is recorded in the audit log with who performed it and why.

Admins, Finance, and Secretary can now issue refunds directly from the member detail page — choose full or partial amount, enter a mandatory justification, and the system processes the refund through Stripe, cancels any active subscription, updates all payment and member statuses, sends staff notifications, and records every action in the audit log. Payment history now clearly shows refunded status with purple badge, refund amount, date, who processed it, and the justification. Refunded payments show crossed-out totals with zero outstanding. Issue Refund button appears on eligible payments for authorised users only.

Fixed Stripe Sync not detecting refunds or cancellations on instalment (subscription) payments. Two bugs: (1) the sync skipped payments already marked Paid, even if incorrectly — Jack Birchmore was showing as Paid despite only 1 of 10 instalments collected; (2) refund detection only checked PaymentIntentId, which subscription payments do not have — the refund was on an invoice charge. Sync now queries all Stripe invoices for a subscription to calculate actual amount paid, then checks each invoice charge for refunds. Also corrects payments with wrong status (e.g. Paid when subscription is still active).

16 Feb 2026

Webhook now handles charge.refunded events — refunds issued in Stripe automatically update payment and member status to Refunded. Staff receive email notifications for all refunds. New Stripe Sync tool (Set Up > Stripe Sync) lets admins manually reconcile all payment records with Stripe to recover from missed webhooks — checks for completed checkouts, subscription cancellations, and refunds. Payments report now shows Refunded status with filter and summary card.

Notification badges now show on individual menu items so users can see exactly what needs attention. Match Day dropdown shows separate counts for pending Fixtures and Availability with no-responses. Club dropdown shows counts for unread Comms, pending Members registrations, and Compliance expirations within 30 days. All powered by a single unified polling endpoint for efficiency.

Fixed SMS inbox polling: delete API was calling non-existent method (DeleteInboxMessage ? DeleteInboundMessages). Now batches deletes in a single API call using MessageCSV parameter. Fixed crash on Availability Respond page when user is not logged in (missing Authorize attribute). Also added Authorize to Compliance controller. Added missing ILogger to AvailabilityController. Fixed Razor build error in Detail view.

Availability: managers can now select or exclude specific players when sending availability requests (all selected by default). Members can be added to an existing request after it has been sent. Team staff (managers, coaches) receive email and SMS notifications when a player changes their availability after initially accepting. Upcoming fixtures pull through to the availability form — select a fixture and all details pre-fill automatically. Fixtures: managers now choose Home or Away when creating a fixture. Only home fixtures queue for pitch allocation by the secretary. Away fixtures are logged directly with Confirmed status.

Players can now belong to multiple teams (e.g. Saturday Blues and Sunday Reds) via a new MemberTeams table. Admin member detail shows all assigned teams with add/remove controls and primary team badge. Team Roster, Availability, and Comms all use correct team membership instead of age group matching. Stripe payment metadata now includes parent name and per-child fee breakdown for easy reconciliation. Application errors now log to Logs/errors.log for simple troubleshooting. Fixed Comms recipient count and send logic which was incorrectly targeting all parents in an age group rather than the specific team.
