In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Handling Polls or Motion VotesThanks for reaching out Dirk. No progress at the moment, but we appreciate you letting us know this feature is in high demand. We’ll make sure to let you all know if and when we choose to add it.
Have a good one.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Find Out More is not translatedI think that approach will be great for displaying the dates. Unfortunately though, the issue is actually with saving them using the date and time picker in the admin. Unless you pass the date and time using the English format provided it won’t be saved correctly into the database.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] US format only for the phone numberGood question. You can actually adjust this by using the
wivm_formatted_phonefilter within WordPress. That filter passes both the unformatted and formatted phone numbers so you can adjust it as necessary. Based on your notes it sounds like you’re comfortable with code, but let me know if you need more direction.If you do that I’d also suggest translating the text you provided.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] Find Out More is not translatedThanks for working through this Clement. As far as the date formats, I don’t think translations are going to help. There is some code in the plugin that assumes an English date and time string on the backend, so even if we translated it the plugin likely won’t be able to handle it. That said, if you can figure out a way to translate the frontend display of the date and time that’s great.
In regards to testing, I believe you’ll need to place a .mo file in the
/languages/folder of the plugin. I’m no expert on WordPress translation though, so it might be worth reading more at https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/localization/.Have a good one.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] non-US date format won’t saveThanks for reaching out Clement. Unfortunately, the datepicker functionality only works in English right now, but fixing this is a high priority item for us. We’re fairly busy with client work right now, but ensuring the datepicker works when used in other languages is at the top of our list of to dos.
We really appreciate you reaching out and will let you know when we get this taken care of.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Not able to save dates and timeOf course Jostein. I’m sorry we weren’t able to help you more. At this point I think it’s safe to say that unless you’re comfortable using English for dates and times the plugin won’t work as expected for board events.
Take care and of course I’ll reach out if we’re able to adjust the plugin to work in many other languages.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Not able to save dates and timeThanks for sending over the credentials via email Jostein. After looking through the WordPress admin we determined that the issue has to do with the fact that the datepicker is adding the date and time in a language other than English. If you enter “Thu, November 17, 2016 @ 1:00 pm” and “Thu, November 17, 2016 @ 6:00 pm” into the start and end date fields it works as it should. Unfortunately, our plugin doesn’t support using languages other than English for the event dates. Your best bet is to figure out how to adjust the date and time popup to input the information as English into the field.
If you’d like we can help you determine a solution to this, but it would be outside of the scope of this support forum so we’d have to charge you all. Let me know if you’d like to go that route and I’d be happy to send you over a price.
Otherwise, good luck and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Not able to save dates and timeThanks Jostein. At this point since we can’t replicate the problem the only approach we can take is to log into your site and take a look ourselves? Would you be open to that?

Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful message @jschauer. A couple of notes about your comments:
Volunteer data can be exported as CSV
To clarify for anyone else who might read this, this is not a built-in feature, but since each volunteer is a user within WordPress you can export a list of volunteers with another plugin.
Please Add categories – We have four different programs for which we need volunteers. It would be great if we could modify the shortcodes by adding a category name or id to filter opportunities by specific programs. This would save updating each program page with a short code each time a new opportunity is created.
We have heard this one a number of times and it’s definitely on our radar.
Create custom questions, currently limited to first name, last name, email, phone
( We would like to add AGE for volunteers under 18 ) or add a checkbox for certain opportunities.You can actually do this already, but it requires a decent amount of technical knowledge. If you or a developer are comfortable with programming, take a look at the template at
templates/opp-single-form.php. It can be copied into your theme and adjusted. You’ll then need to hook into the code that saves the form submission.Thanks again for your thoughtful note. Good luck with the plugin.

In reply to: [Nonprofit Board Management] Not able to save dates and timeLuckily enough, we were able to give this a look today. We tested a fresh install of WordPress with the plugin and didn’t have any issues saving an event’s date and time. Since you aren’t seeing any errors, we’re thinking this is caused by one of two situations.
- If you’re logged in as an Editor or lower role you won’t be able to save the date and time. Only administrators and board members can do that.
- The roles or capabilities for the site have been changed which may cause you not to be able to save the event date and time.
Let me know if you think either of these two scenarios may be at play here.

Have a good one.
