Liberal Democrats: Flock Together

Just to let you know that I’ve updated all the postcodes and wards at api.flocktogether.org.uk to the latest versions.

It’s a quick and easy way to:

• Postcode & geo look-up of ward, constituency, council etc.
• Boundary lookup
• Plot data based on postcode
• Add area and geographical data to CSV files

Let me know if you spot any problems.

Just to let you know that the Flock Together API now lets you quickly and easily add wards and other geographical data to the party’s Salesforce membership reports.

You can do the upload at http://api.flocktogether.org.uk/addareatodata.php.

The Lib Dem Account system seems to have stopped working – so we’ve switched it off.

You may need to reset your password here.

After 4½ sterling years of service, LibDig is no more.

Here on FlockTogether, we supported LibDig from the beginning and we’re sorry to see it go!

I’ve updated the LibDig WordPress plug-in to tell people about the change and suggest they deactivate it!

Just to let you know that individual contact details for events now stop displaying 30 days after an event has happened.

FlockTogether now automatically tweets details of the latest phone banks entered in the system twice a day.

Let me know if you have any comments or suggested changes to the way it does it.

See this Whitehill Town Council by-election as an example.

You need to be logged in and the creator or contact for an event or a system administrator to add them.

Just to let you know about a new way of accessing ward maps via Flocktogether’s API site.

Enter your postcode or the name of a ward and it will let you link through to a zoomable, copyable map.

Click on the link in the top left to get an extra large version. Use the selection box at the top left of the map to get a format suitable for printing.

Comments welcome!

The federal party has some campaign days coming up.

You can read more details on the ALDC website here.

If you want to see which events have been added to Flock Together on the first campaign day on February 9th, you can find the details at http://www.flocktogether.org.uk/campaignday/2013/02/09/

A bit thank you to Lib Dem Voice for showing the latest Flock Together events on their blog.

And a big thank you to Ryan Cullen for making it possible.

It’s the first use of the new JSON feed I referred to in the last blog post.
