We hope to deploy V4S over the summer for our 400+ volunteers. My plan is to embed the VolunteerSignupFS (sign up form) and PersonalSiteContactLookup on our website using the iframes described in the manual. This part works OK, new volunteers can sign up and existing ones can access the personal site.
When the volunteer is validated, we will send an email with a link to the Personal Site (using Contact ID and email address in the URL). My problem is all the dates are US format, and I cannot determine how to use the DateFormat parameter so that the Personal site starts and stays in the date format I require. The email uses a link
http://_mydomain_.force.com/GW_Volunteers__PersonalSiteContactInfo?DateFormat=EEEE%20dd/MM/YYYY&contactId=..... and this does change the Volunteer Shifts and Volunteer History to dd/MM/YYYY format. However when I click on the Volunteer Jobs, the dates resort to mm/dd/yyyy format, and so does the PersonalSiteContactInfo when I return to that page.
Should I continue to use the
force.comURL, or embed the Personal Site iframe in our website somewhere?
Also, when I created a shift for 14th June at 6pm (British Summer Time which is GMT+1), the emails I receive say it starts at 5pm.
@Nigel Williams you can control the date format via a URL parameter. Take a look at the section on page 61: https://powerofus.force.com/s/article/V4S-Setup-Config-Guide
