Thanks for reaching out @cashlin. Unfortunately, the plugin doesn’t have any detailed reporting at the moment. That is something we’d like to implement in the future, but at the moment it doesn’t exist.
Good luck as you look for a solution. Let us know if you find anything that works well.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] duplicate a volunteer opportunityThanks for reaching out @shawneeknightmecom. Unfortunately, at this time there isn’t way to easily duplicate a volunteer opportunity. What you can do is set up defaults for the contact and the location, which hopefully would save you some time. You’ll still need to update additional information like the opportunity name, description and time though.
Thanks a ton for using the plugin. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

In reply to: Missed ScheduleUnfortunately, we don’t have any more information. Our client connected with GoDaddy directly. Since we haven’t heard anything I would assume it’s fixed, but I don’t know for sure.
Good luck.

To write custom code to pull the names of volunteers onto a page would probably be somewhere between $500 – $1,000 depending on the specifics. If that’s within your budget we can discuss details via email so we can provide you a firm price.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] How to delete volunteersNo problem at all and no reason to feel silly. We’re glad you were able to figure it out.
Jonathan
Thanks Leo. Did you test the backup plugin to make sure it ran on a set schedule?
Also, when you wrote “send_auto_email_reminders Dec 9, 2016 @ 19:00:00 – One-off event” where did you pull that information from?

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] How to delete volunteersYes, you delete volunteers like you would any other user within WordPress. Within the WordPress admin go to Users >> hover over the volunteer you want to delete >> click the red “Delete” link >> click the “Confirm Deletion” button. That’s it.
Let me know if you run into any issues.

Hi Leo,
If the reminder emails aren’t sending this is likely due to an issue with WordPress Cron and is usually caused by an issue with the hosting provider. Who is your hosting provider and what plan do you have with them?
Thanks.
Jonathan
Hi Leo,
In an email you wouldn’t see the volunteers all listed within the bcc section. Email clients don’t show them since they are supposed to be private.
As far as why the email hasn’t gone out, that’s tougher to diagnose. Just to confirm, can you tell me what you have written in the “Number of Days Prior to Opportunity to Send Reminder” option within the plugin settings?
Also, can you confirm that the volunteer opportunity is a one-time, and not flexible, opportunity?
Thanks.
Jonathan
Hi Leo,
The list of volunteers is only pulled so we can email them. The list is not included in the email for privacy reasons. When the website sends the reminder email the “to” address includes the admins, and the “bcc” includes each of the volunteers.
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.Do you have a strong comfort with object-oriented PHP programming? You’ll definitely need that to be able to customize the plugin in the way you’re hoping to.
In regards to the reminder email not going out, you should check within the edit screen of that opportunity. If the email was sent it will be listed in the metabox that shows all the emails sent out.
I hope that’s helpful. Good luck.

In reply to: [Wired Impact Volunteer Management] German TranslationThanks for reaching out @adama1976. It’s great to hear you’re trying to translate the plugin. I’m by no means a WordPress translation expert, but you’ll want the files to be named “wired-impact-volunteer-management-de_DE.mo” (or .po) or use whatever WordPress locale is chosen to replace “de_DE”. You can find the WP Locale column at https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/.
It’s also worth noting that WordPress is now using language packs to automatically provide translations in different languages. If you add your translations to https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/wired-impact-volunteer-management/stable/es/default and complete at least 95% of the translation, they should start pulling automatically with new downloads. That said, I’ve never used this before, so I’m unsure how reliable it is.
Let me know how it goes and what else we can do to help.
Jonathan
I’m not 100% sure what you’re asking Leo. If you’re trying to list the people that have signed up on the frontend of your website you shouldn’t need to interact with the email class.
Can you give me a better idea of what you’re trying to do?
Jonathan
Hi Leo,
Instead of querying the database directly, you might be able to use the plugin classes and methods to get what you need. 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.All that said, we haven’t attempted this before so you may need to go another route. At the very least the code should be able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck.
Jonathan
Thanks for reaching out @khtsang0083. Unfortunately, what you’re looking to do would be difficult with the way the plugin is set up currently. Not only are the permissions not set up to allow levels below Editor to work with the volunteer opportunities, but the custom post type for the volunteer opportunities doesn’t support choosing a different author for each one. You may be able to code something to handle these two issues, but that’s outside the scope of this support forum. If you’d like to talk about getting a proposal for us to help you, we’d be happy to give you a rough idea of price.
I’m sorry we couldn’t be more helpful. Good luck.
