#Volunteers For Salesforce App1 discussing

Hello,

I have been working on this for 3 hours and have about had it. All of a sudden my volunteer's dashboard links stopped working. When you input your information, you never get an email. I accessed the link though my admin page and I was able to receive the sign in link to my personal page, but once I clicked on it, I was just redirected back to the contact look up page. I have tried every answer I can find and frankly I'm about ready to throw my computer. Please help.

I am trying to install the Volunteer Management package. I've gone through all the trailhead steps and now I think I'm just clicking options to see if it changes anything. 

 

The volunteer job page shows no jobs. All jobs are connected to active campaigns, with the option to show on the website selected. All jobs have shifts, future dates, and recurring schedules.

The Visualforce preview page shows the page with all jobs listed correctly (albeit with questionable formatting), with a working link to sign up.

I've tried to access the online guide posted in another answer and the link no longer works.

Please help.

I know I can specify a range of colors in custom settings, but all colors are available to all jobs displayed on the calendar. We have 2 locations and each has volunteer jobs for breakfast, lunch, dinner. We'd like 1 location to be one color and the other a different color. I don't really care that much what the colors are, but right now we have the same color showing up for dinner at both locations.

I've just finished creating a site to register new volunteer. While testing I've run into a few issues: 

  • Fields on the Volunteer form are not populating on the contact record when form is submitted. 
  • The form has no formatting
  • When clicking submit on the form, it says the form has been submitted but remains on the form with the filled in fields. Should the form clear or is there a way to redirect the user back to the home page

I'm very new to NPSP and to Volunteers for SF. This is my first time working with a custom site. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am setting up the Volunteer personal sites now. When I click Preview on the GW_Volunteers__PersonalSiteContactInfo page, I get an error that the URL no longer exists. Any ideas where I could have gone wrong?

Hi, I have V4S setup and we use the VolunteersSignupFS form on our web site. Recently, I started getting an Authorization Required error after submitting the form with the URL parameter to add a file upload button. The error appears on of the PersonalSiteContactLookup page in the iframe, where I can also navigate the job calendar and other menu items.. We do not get the error when running the URL without any parameters - i.e. testing it from the sites config menu.r 

This was working for over a year and am having a hard time troubleshooting since it doesn't appear I can use debug logs. Anyone seen this issue or have ideas how to isolate the cause? What else happens when URL parameters are added to VolunteersSignupFS?

Hello all, 

 

I have logged a case with Salesforce support on this issue, but hoping maybe someone on here has some input. Today I was notified that our Volunteer Calendar as well as our general volunteer signup page are throwing the following error. Any insight or help would be appreciated. Everything was working fine last week. 

URL No Longer Exists

 

You have attempted to reach a URL that no longer exists on salesforce.com. 

 

You may have reached this page after clicking on a direct link into the application. This direct link might be: 

• A bookmark to a particular page, such as a report or view 

• A link to a particular page in the Custom Links section of your Home Tab, or a Custom Link 

• A link to a particular page in your email templates 

 

If you reached this page through a bookmark, you are probably trying to access something that has moved. Please update your bookmark. 

 

If you reached this page through any of the other direct links listed above, please notify your administrator to update the link. 

 

If you reached this page through a link on our site, please

report the broken link directly to our Support Team

and we will fix it promptly. Please indicate the page you were on when you clicked the link as well as any other related information. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

 

Thank you again for your patience and assistance. And thanks for using

    I'm having the same issue although I cannot find "Update References to Legacy Host Names" in my needs action, due soon, overdue, or archived release updates. I've gone ahead and checked that legacy checkbox. Is my longterm task to ensure the V4F pages we are using use [domain].my.salesforce-sites instead of [domain].force.com? or is there more to the longterm fix than this?

Hello! Are you using V4S? If so, are you utilizing it with the out of the box functions or did you have it customized by a third party? 

 

Right now, our Volunteer Department is juggling a bunch of different systems that don’t talk to Salesforce, so there’s a ton of manual work. We’re thinking a lot of it could be automated if Salesforce was our main hub for signing up volunteers, tracking hours, scheduling, and letting volunteers check their schedule on a computer or tablet. 

 

We are thinking of experience cloud but before that explore other options.

In both our Sandbox and in Production, if someone goes to their Personal Website, http://full-mda.cs24.force.com/volunteer/PersonalSiteContactInfoMDA?contactId=0031900000cWAqQ&email=v_1jesm@hotmail.com, and clicks on Report Hours, it gives the message: There are no Jobs available for you to report hours against. I've setup our Sandbox with the updated security settings and sharing rules (we already had one in place for Contacts for the Volunteers Site Guest User) for Campaigns but it hasn't changed it. We did notice that Volunteers for Salesforce has recently made an update to the Visual Force page in the Sandbox but we aren't sure is this is related or not as we aren't sure when it stopped working. Any ideas on how to fix this or where we should start? They do show if the link to report hours does not contain specific information about the Volunteer and it's just the default page, all jobs show up. http://full-mda.cs24.force.com/volunteer/GW_Volunteers__PersonalSiteReportHours?Language=en-us

    anyone remember the solution for this - we are seeing a similar problem in the past 2 weeks - some volunteers can't see the job to report using their personal web page

Hello,

 

I'm wondering why I receive the error "Sorry, there are no volunteer jobs available at this time" when I try to use the following link for the specific job listings to add to my org's website (http://slnv4s.force.com/GW_Volunteers__VolunteersJobListingFS). It works for the general volunteer sign up (http://slnv4s.force.com/GW_Volunteers__VolunteersSignupFS).

 

When I open the visualforce page for the specific volunteer jobs I see them but not using the URL above. The campaign is active and the events have the box checked for display on website. The first event is in November. 

 

Any insight into why the link doesn't work?

 

Appreciate the help,

Alyssa

    Hello, @Alyssa Byrne

     

    I'm facing the same problem, and gone through all the suggested solutions, yet the problem still persists. What can I do? Where can I go from here?

     

    Thanks.
