Adding email addresses to Lifetouch directory

[Firstpresadmin]

I use PC version 9.
The ability to create a roster for the Pictorial Directory companies is great! However, Lifetouch gives us the option to include email addresses, which our members would prefer, but I don't see a way to request that they be included in the roster PowerChurch produces. The Olan Mills directory includes that option, but of course the result is not formatted correctly for Lifetouch.
Is there any way to include the email address for a Lifetouch directory?
Thanks!
Michele

Sounds like a change to what they were requiring before. I suspect that all the PC+ team needs is the latest export format from Lifetouch. However, I also suspect that any such change would occur at the next version.

v9 and 10 have both been updated with this change. Get the latest MR for your version installed.

I downloaded the Maintenance Release - it does now include the email address, but is no longer correctly formatted according to the Lifetouch Directory specifications (It's formatted like the Olan Mills directory info.) LifeTouch rosters should look like

823-965
Norris, Fred & Karen; Josh Ellis, Jeff
2033 Yucca Loma Rd.
Apple Valley, CA 92307

After installing the maintenance release, the record looks like

2 0000400 Abernathy Jonesie (Patricia) Sam Elizabeth,Debbie P.O. Box 662 Templeton CA 93465 4341234

We have a thick package of information from the LifeTouch developers mapping out exactly what they are wanting. We are complying with the new guidelines they have sent forth.

It is important to remember that the data file we are creating is not intended to be read by human eyes or in any way formatted like a church directory. The purpose of this file is to be loaded into a template that they have which will load your membership information into their database.

Thanks - I finally got a reply from them. They're pleased that you've updated to include their latest info!
There's one thing that doesn't seem to be available in your script for Lifetouch that your own built-in church directories have - adding the asterisk by members' names. Am I missing it, or is there some way to add in that information?

Thank you!
