Stand Tall for the Great Bear Rainforest

Greenpeace has created a short film explaining the campaign for sustainability in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia. To promote the film and engage their supporters within BC, they organized movie nights where activists organized and hosted parties to view the movie, discussed the issue and worked together to support the campaign. The standtall.greenpeace.ca web site was created to facilitate and support these movie nights in BC during the spring of 2007.

Besides facilitating the events mentioned above, the site reported back after they occurred through stories, blog entries and photo galleries. We provided technical consulting for this project, which included the following:

  • Permissions were established for various sections of the site and for various user roles. For example, event moderators could see the event information in its entirety (such as aggregate and user-specific registration data) while unprivileged users would only see basic event information.
  • Administration pages were created so that administrators would have a high-level view of all events thereby allowing for event management in a simplified manner.
  • Contact forms were added to ensure that questions or feedback from the public would be sent to the appropriate individuals.
  • Functionality was added in order to integrate user registration with invitations sent by event moderators allowing the two different aspects of the site to work well together.
  • In order to prevent malicious form submissions from Internet bots, a CAPTCHA test was added to all of the site's forms.
