Jonathan, I didn’t get an automatic reminder from the test event. I manually sent one from the event, which worked fine. I changed the data of the test event to 10/27 and the reminder interval to two days, which means I should get an reminder email.

As I mentioned, other automated events (like backups work – which manages to send me an email when a backup is done) but not events.

What would be different between the email being sent out by the backup plugin working but not the notice for events?

What file/process is responsible for the email being sent out?

Jonathan, if I can send out the email manually, it makes no sense that an automated email would fail because of the number of email addresses being sent to. To simplify and test this further, I created a test opportunity for Saturday (fixed event, limited to 1 volunteer). I signed up for the event and set the reminder interval for one day. Following the logic of the application, I should get an automatic email tomorrow reminding me about the event.

Thanks, I will pass along this information.

Jonathan, in regards to:

“Per my previous note, if you want to list the volunteers for an event, you’ll want to take a look at the WI_Volunteer_Management_Opportunity class in the /includes/class-opportunity.php file of the plugin. If you’re able to call that class you can then use the get_all_rsvped_volunteers() method which will return an array with each of the RSVPed volunteers for that opportunity.”

What what you/your group charge for doing this kind of work? Just curious? Right now I am manually copying the volunteer information to various pages and would rather do it automatically.

Thanks,

Leo

Here are the settings for email reminders:

Wired Impact Volunteer Management: Help & Settings
Help
General
Opportunity Defaults
Email
From Email Address

The email address you’d like to send from. If blank “wpadmin@hometownband.org” will be used from the General Settings.
From Email Name

The name of the person you’d like the emails to be sent from. If blank “” will be used from the General Settings.
Volunteer Signup Email Subject

The subject of the email to a volunteer after they sign up.
Volunteer Signup Email
p

The email to a volunteer who just RSVPed. You can use the variables {volunteer_first_name}, {volunteer_last_name}, {volunteer_phone}, {volunteer_email}, {opportunity_name}, {opportunity_date_time}, {opportunity_location}, {contact_name}, {contact_phone} and {contact_email} which will be replaced when the email is sent.
Admin Email Address

The person to notify when volunteers sign up. The contact for the volunteer opportunity will also be notified. If this field is blank then only the contact will be notified.
Admin Signup Email Subject

The subject of the email to the admin after someone RSVPs.
Admin Signup Email
p

The email to the admin after someone RSVPs. You can use the variables {volunteer_first_name}, {volunteer_last_name}, {volunteer_phone}, {volunteer_email}, {opportunity_name}, {opportunity_date_time}, {opportunity_location}, {contact_name}, {contact_phone} and {contact_email} which will be replaced when the email is sent.
Number of Days Prior to Opportunity to Send Reminder

The number of days prior to a one-time volunteer opportunity to send a reminder. Flexible opportunities do not send a reminder email. Ex: 4
Volunteer Reminder Email Subject

The subject of the reminder email sent to volunteers prior to their opportunity.
Volunteer Reminder Email
p

The reminder email to volunteers before their opportunity arrives. This is sent to the admins with the volunteers BCC’ed. That way you know when the email has gone out. You can use the variables {opportunity_name}, {opportunity_date_time}, {opportunity_location}, {contact_name}, {contact_phone} and {contact_email} which will be replaced when the email is sent. Since only one email is sent do not use any of the volunteer specific variables.

Here is what looks like the only scheduled event for email reminders:

send_auto_email_reminders Dec 9, 2016 @ 19:00:00 – One-off event

Leo

Jonathan, 7 days is the number of days set. All the opportunities are setup as one-time events.

Leo

I manually sent out the reminder email, but it did not include a list of who has signed up for the event. This is what the get_all_rsvped_volunteers() call in the class-email.php is supposed to do as shown here: https://github.com/marcDeSantis/wired-impact-volunteer-management-1/blob/master/includes/class-email.php.

Where is the disconnect? How can I get this email to include the list, be sent out automatically and should the manual email reminder have contained the list of people signed up for the event?
