MassMasons.org — Statewide Membership & Directory Platform
Trig Web Design was contracted to completely modernize and migrate the Massachusetts Grand Lodge's aging membership system into a robust, secure, and scalable Joomla platform. The project involved migrating over 30,000 user records and 23,000+ directory listings into a streamlined, searchable structure using Mosets Tree, combined with powerful custom code to support access controls, financial data, and role-specific reporting.
🔧 Key Deliverables:
-
Mass migration of historical data, including complex ACL mappings across 900+ Masonic organizations, each with unique access requirements.
-
Dynamic Member Directories with filterable listings by Lodge, Officer Role, District, and Member Status.
-
Custom Lodges of Instruction (LOI) Attendance System, rebuilt from a legacy PHP system and integrated into Joomla with interactive reports, modals, and printable views.
-
Integrated JEvents + RSVP Pro with advanced permission-based calendars, file attachments, and event tracking.
-
Enhanced User Dashboard for members to see their lodges, calendar links, and reports.
-
Advanced ACL & Group Management, ensuring users only see what they’re authorized to view—whether public, district-specific, or Grand Lodge level.
-
E-commerce with EShop, including flat-rate shipping, tax logic, and customized product imports.
-
Security-focused Configuration, with fine-grained access for Grand Lodge Officers while protecting administrative controls.
