  • Issue #139. New VRS from JRS should set start date more intelligently.

Version 3.72

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded to all current installations on 1/15/2015.
  • Upgraded all classes, pages, components, and triggers to Salesforce api version 31, to resolve platform issue on the Personal Sites page.
  • Added English translation to the package, to avoid labels and messages displaying in French if no language specified on Sites pages.
  • Issue #121. Ignore Person Account fields in orgs who have Person Accounts enabled.

Version 3.67

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded to all current installations on 12/7/2014.
  • Issue #105. Updated Installation & Configuration Guide.
  • Issue #113.  Don’t assign a VRS whose End Time is the same as a Shift’s Start Time.
  • Issue #104. Have the JobListingFS page prefill the Number of Hours field on Volunteer Hours with the Shift’s duration.
  • Issue #100. Added a Number of Volunteers field to Volunteer Recurrence Schedules, which will get copied to the created Volunteer Hours.  This allows one to set up a VRS for a group, where you only know the group leader.  You need to enable this new VRS field on all of your Salesforce profiles, and add it to the VRS page layout, as well as the VRS field set NewAndEditVRSFS.
  • Issue #97.  The JobCalendar page now takes the initialDate URL parameter in the format yyyy-mm-dd.  No time is needed.  Updated Installation & Configuration Guide with this new information.
  • Issue #86.  Added VRS field Comments which now gets copied to the Volunteer Hours Comments field. You need to enable this new VRS field on all of your Salesforce profiles, and add it to the VRS page layout, as well as the VRS field set NewAndEditVRSFS.
  • Issue #74. Clicking on a specific Shift from Web Calendar will give direct listing, not all shifts, if nMonthsToShow = 0.  If you want to enable this new behavior, add “nMonthsToShow=0” as a URL parameter on the URL to the JobCalendar page on your website.
  • Changed the default value for the custom setting Recurring Job Future Months to be 4 and added information in the Installation & Configuration Guide.  If this number is too large, you may run into Salesforce CPU time limits which will prevent the Job Scheduler from running completely.  It is recommended to use 4 months or less.
  • Issue #89. Custom Setting to specify which Contact fields from First Name, Last Name, and Email, should be used in Contact matching.
  • Issue #79. Sites web pages now detect if field access is not set up correctly for the Site’s Guest User Profile, and display a warning message on the page.  If you see this message on your Site’s pages, all you need to do is go to the Volunteer Site’s Guest User Profile, and make sure that all fields on Volunteer Jobs, Shifts, Hours and Volunteer fields on Contact, are enabled for the profile.
  • Issue #101. Added support for State and Country Picklists in Sites pages.  V4S is unable to display picklists for these (Salesforce doesn’t make them available), but V4S does correctly try to match for Country and State fullnames, and if those don’t match, then Country and State codes.

Version 3.64

  • Released on the AppExchange on 8/10/2014.
  • Full localization for Spanish now included, including localized email templates.

Version 3.60

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded to all current installations on 6/25/2014.
  • Fix for issue #107. On the PersonalSitesContactInfo page, show the correct user formatted Date in the correct timezone, rather than GMT timezone. This solution requires that the Volunteer Hours Comment field is marked visible on the Sites Guest User Profile. If you don’t see the Shift dates on the page, check your field level security for the Volunteer Hours Comments field.
  • Fix for issue #103. Avoid copying all data fields from cached contact, using the list of fields from the field set instead.
  • Fix for issue #108. Sites pages in the Personal Site now support the Language page parameter, and default to en-us.
  • Fix for issue #96 and #92. InitialDate not optimal in JobCalendar Sites page. The calendar now starts with the latter of the current day or the first shift day of the passed in Campaign or Job.

Version 3.59

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded to all current installations on 6/18/2014.
  • Fix for issue #88. Always save all records from the Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page, to avoid scenarios where we could not detect modified data.
  • Fix for issue #102. JobCalendar page now works on IE and some mobile browsers that didn’t handle a date when passed a campaignId or jobId.
  • Removed some explicit namespace referencing in pages, that Salesforce no longer requires, to make it easier to test the code in an unmanaged DE org.
  • Workaround for known Salesforce packaging bug W-2050705, where code in API before version 30 was seeing version 30 fields and failing.

Version 3.58

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded to all current installations on 1/26/2014.
  • Fix for Contact Merge to avoid querying for Shifts if no Hours were found, which was causing user’s without permissions on Hours to hit a runtime error.

Version 3.56

  • Released on the AppExchange on 1/3/2014.
  • Fix for Contact Merge to avoid querying for Hours without Shifts, which was causing orgs with over 50,000 Hours records to hit an error.

Version 3.55.2

  • Released on the AppExchange, and push upgraded to anyone with 3.55, on 12/9/2013.
  • All Sites pages are now marked to not cache, to ensure the latest job information will be displayed.
  • Fix to VolunteersJobListingFS page to avoid copying data from the first entered contact, onto the next entered contacts.  Note that this issue only occurred if someone entered multiple different people on the same computer without closing the browser.
  • Volunteers Help tab updated with static HTML, due to Salesforce no longer allowing iframed sites to be used.

Version 3.55

  • Released on the AppExchange on 9/19/2013.

Major New Feature

  • Volunteers Personal Sites, a set of Sites pages, email template, and resources to allow you to provide a personal site to your volunteers for them to each individually see their contact and volunteer information, their volunteer history, and their upcoming shifts.  Please see full details in the Installation & Configuration Guide.

Changes and Enhancements to Existing Features

  • VolunteersJobListingFS Sites page now updates existing Volunteer Hours record if the volunteer has already signed up for the same shift.
  • new report, Volunteers Daily Roster, that groups only by Date, not the campaign, job, or shift, so you can see all the volunteers for a given day together.
  • added a limit of 10,000 rows on the Find Volunteers page.
  • changed the JobCalendar Sites page so that it ignores the end user’s system timezone, and always shows times consistent with the JobListingFS page.

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded on 8/17/2013.
  • fix to Recurrence Schedules to handle locales where Sunday is not the first day of the week.

  • Released on the AppExchange and push upgraded on 3/13/2013.
  • Volunteer Hours can now be reparented to a different Contact.

VERSION 3.21

  • Released on the AppExchange on 2/24/2013

Major New Features

  • Job Recurrence Schedules – allows you to automatically create regularly recurring Shifts for a Job, on a schedule you specify.
  • Volunteer Recurrence Schedules – allows you to assign a volunteer to a recurring Job, on a schedule you specify.
  • Volunteer Hours Reminder Email – new workflow rule and email template for automatically sending reminder emails to volunteers for upcoming shifts.  Also a new field on Contact, Volunteer Auto-Reminder Email Opt Out, to allow a contact to disable this feature.
  • VolunteersReportHours – a new Sites page, which can be hosted in your website, to allow volunteers to report their hours on a job or shift.  Does not require authentication.
  • Find Volunteers – a new tab for searching for volunteers that match criteria you specify.  You can then assign them in bulk to a job or shift.
  • Volunteers Help – a new tab to replace the About tab, which points at the new Volunteers for Salesforce website, which has all the information and documentation for successfully using and configuring the application.

Changes and Enhancements to Existing Features

  • VolunteersJobListingFS page now supports a parameter, nMonthsToShow, for specifying how far into the future to show shift dates for.  If not provided, defaults to 24.
  • JobCalendar page also supports the parameter nMonthsToShow, and will pass it along to VolunteersJobListingFS when the user clicks on a shift.  defaultly not set.
  • New custom settings “Recurring Job Future Months”, used by the system when creating shifts for recurring jobs.
  • Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page now filters on startDate and endDate to avoid loading too many shifts and hours.
  • New Volunteer Hours Status field picklist value, Canceled, to avoid auto-reassigning a volunteer to a shift.  Note that you must manually add “Canceled” to the Status picklist if you are upgrading.
  • new Tab, Process Recurrence Schedules, to allow one to manually kick off the batch process of creating and scheduling future job shifts with volunteers.  Review the installation guide on how to set up this process to run automatically.
  • new Apex Class, VOL_BATCH_Recurrence, that can be scheduled to automatically run to create and schedule future job shifts with volunteers.
  • new Volunteer Job Signup workflow rule and email template to use in addition to Volunteer Signup – Contact, which fires off of the Hours object, rather than the Contact, thus allowing one to include information about the Job and Shift in the email templates.
  • workflow rule Volunteers Signup – Contact was modified to avoid firing when converting a volunteer lead to a volunteer contact.
  • Volunteer Hours can now be reparented to a different Job.  This allows the volunteer coordinator to change a volunteer’s web sign up to be on a different shift on a different job.
  • Volunteer Jobs can now be reparented to a different Campaign.
  • New Time Zone support for our VolunteerJobListingFS Sites page.  In version 2.0, the date & time of shifts was formattted on the client machine to match the client’s current time zone.  Now we do the date & time formatting off shifts in Apex on the server, and it will use one of three time zones (in priority order):
    • the Volunteer Website Time Zone field on the Volunteer Job record
    • the Volunteer Website Time Zone field on the Volunteer Campaign record
    • the time zone set on the Volunteers Sites Guest user profile
  • Note that this new date formatting requires that the new System Note field on Volunteer Shifts is marked visible for the Volunteers Sites Guest user profile.   You will get old datetime formatting if not marked visible.
  • Improved Contact matching from Sites pages.  Two new custom properties allow you to specify additional Contact first name fields and Contact email fields to match against.  We also now automatically include matching against the Non Profit Starter Pack’s 3 additional Contact email fields (work, home, alternate).
  • VolunteersJobListingFS now gives an error if you try to signup a group of volunteers greater than the number of positions still open.
  • New trigger on Contacts, so deleting a contact will correctly update the volunteer hour rollups on Campaigns, Jobs, and Shifts.
  • New custom button on Campaign, Find Volunteers, that will bring up the Find Volunteers tab set to the campaign.  Upgraders must manually add this button to their Volunteer Campaign Layout.
  • New custom button on Volunteer Job, Find Volunteers, that will bring up the Find Volunteers tab set to the campaign and Job.  Upgraders must manually add this button to their Volunteer Job Layout.
  • New custom button on Volunteer Shift, Find Volunteers, that will bring up the Find Volunteers tab set to the campaign, Job, and Shift.  Upgraders must manually add this button to their Volunteer Shift Layout.
  • About Volunteers tab renamed to Volunteers Help, and it now points directly to our website.
  • new great Logo, which you must update the Volunteers application to use!

VERSION 2.20

  • Released on the AppExchange on 7/31/2012.
  • Added document JobCalendarCSS.css to the managed package, to allow customizing of styles in the JobCalendar web page.
  • Fix to handle Volunteer signup names with quotes in them.
  • Support signing multiple people up repetitively from the VolunteersJobListingFS web page. The page used to assume it was always the same contact.
  • VolunteersJobListingFS web page now positions the signup dialog relative to the mouse, rather than in the center of the logical page. This will work better on long listing pages.
  • Mass Email Volunteers enhancements:
    • Better error handling and reporting on the page. It will now send to those it can, and report back which failed and how many succeeded.
    • Now available on a Volunteer Campaign, allowing you to email all volunteers across multiple jobs and shifts at once. Note that you will need to add the Mass Email Volunteers button to your Volunteer Campaign page layout. See the latest installation guide for steps on how to do this.
    • New checkbox to only include contacts once when emailing. This checkbox will allow you to email each contact once per job & shift, thus allowing you to provide job & shift information in the email template, or just once per campaign, for more general emailing purposes.

VERSION 2.18

  • Released on the AppExchange on 5/15/2012.
  • Job Calendar page controller now exposes all methods and properties as Global, to allow using it with your own version of the Job Calendar page.

  • Released to the AppExchange on 11/29/2011.
  • New tab, Shift Calendar, which displays all shifts on a calendar from the specified Campaign(s) and Job(s).
  • New report, Volunteer Roster, which shows you all volunteers for the given campaign, job, and shift.
  • 3 new custom buttons called “Volunteer Roster”, which you can add to the Volunteer Campaign Layout, Volunteer Job Layout, and Volunteer Shift Layout, to allow you to open the Volunteer Roster report prefiltered.
  • Shift Calendar can also be displayed on your website and used for shift signup, by using the JobCalendar visualforce page. See full details in the intallation guide.
  • Changed Shift’s Number of Volunteers Still Needed field to return null if the Desired Number of Volunteers field is null. If you have copied an older version of the pages VolunteersJobListing or VolunteersJobListingFS, you will want to change the rendered expressions on the Signup Link and Full label, to handle null. Look at the new version of these two pages for the correct syntax.
  • Volunteers Wizard now supports specifying the new start date for the first shift you are cloning from, and all subsequent shifts will be offset by the same number of days. This allows you to clone a weekly or monthly volunteer campaign every week or month, and have all the shifts correctly assigned to the days of the week or month.
  • Volunteers Wizard now supports copying all Volunteer Hours from an existing campaign, allowing you to copy over the same set of volunteers on a regular basis. You can copy them with the same status, or provide an override status.
  • VolunteersJobListing and VolunteersJobListingFS web pages no longer display shifts that are more than an hour out of date. Also, if the job only has old shifts, it won’t be displayed.
  • Mass Email Volunteers page now provides links to View Templates and Edit Template.
  • Contact’s have a new formula field, Volunteer Unique Count, which is used by the new report “Unique Volunteers”, which gives you the count of unique volunteers by campaign and job.

VERSION 1.54

  • Released to the AppExchange on 10/13/2011.
  • fix to date formatting on VolunteersJobListing and VolunteersJobListingFS web pages.
  • added support to honor the required checkbox in Field Sets on pages VolunteersSignupFS, VolunteersJobListingFS, and Volunteers Wizard.

VERSION 1.52

  • Released to the AppExchange on 10/3/2011.
  • modified the Volunteer Job page layout to make more room for editing the Job Description and Location Information rich text fields.
  • Changed the Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page to limit the picklist of Volunteer Campaigns to the most recent 1000 volunteer campaigns marked Active, to avoid hitting Salesforce collection limits.
  • Changed the Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page to mark records as modified when they receive focus, rather than when an onchange event occurs. This is to solve the problem that a single edit on a row, where the user clicks directly on the Save button, might not have time to mark the record modified before the Save occurs.
  • Changed the Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page to show hours from all shifts if you don’t specify a specific shift, thus allowing one to see all the volunteers for a job at once.
  • Fix to handle the custom setting Signup_Bucket_Account_On_Create not existing.
  • Added a better help tooltip to Shift’s Total Volunteers field, to say it is a system field and should not be edited.
  • Added a section for System Fields – Do Not Edit to the Shift layout page, that only displays in Edit mode.
  • Localization is now supported, and a French language translation is provided.
  • New version of the Volunteers Signup page, VolunteersSignupFS, that uses field sets to allow customization, supports localization, and support file uploads. Please refer to the latest installation guide for details.
  • New version of the Volunteers Job Listing page, VolunteersJobListingFS, that uses field sets to allow customization of the fields displayed on the signup dialog. This page also now supports localization and date and time formatting, and file uploads. Please refer to the latest installation guide for details.
  • Added a Volunteer Organization text field to contact, to use on the VolunteersSignupFS and VolunteersJobListingFS pages, rather than trying to overload the Contact Department field as a placeholder for Account.
  • Added a Volunteer Last Web Signup Date field to Contact, and changed our Contact Workflow Rule Volunteer Signup – Contact to fire when this field changes, rather than firing off of the Volunteer Status field being set to “New Web Signup”. This allows subsequent updates by the user from the web to refire the workflow (to send notifications and thank yous). If you are upgrading from a previous version, you must update the workflow rule manually. Set the rule criteria to be 
    • OR(ISCHANGED( GW_Volunteers__Volunteer_Last_Web_Signup_Date__c ), AND(ISNEW(), NOT(ISNULL(GW_Volunteers__Volunteer_Last_Web_Signup_Date__c ))))
  • For consistency, added the value “Web Sign Up” to the Volunteer Hours Status picklist field, since our web forms will set this value.
  • The Volunteers Wizard page now supports localization and field sets to control which fields from the Campaign should be displayed on the form. The wizard also now copies over all custom fields on Jobs and Shifts, when cloning from an existing Volunteers Campaign.
  • The Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page now supports localization and field sets to control which fields from Volunteer Hours should be displayed on the page.
  • Added a new visualforce page for sending email to all the volunteers on a job or shift. There is a “Mass Email Volunteers” button that now displays on the Volunteer Job’s detail page, and the Volunteer Shift’s detail page. If you are upgrading Volunteers for Salesforce, you will need to use the page layout editor to add these buttons to these two pages. If you are upgrading, you will also need to explicitly check the Track Activities property for Volunteer Jobs and Volunteer Shifts. See the installation guide for details.
  • Added several formula fields on Volunteer Shifts that reference the address fields on Volunteer Jobs. This allows the email template to include address information for a Job when using Mass Email Volunteers from a Shift.

VERSION 1.12

  • released to the AppExchange on 5/6/2011.
  • Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page now sorts by contact’s lastname.
  • Lead Volunteer Status field now defaults to null, so we don’t inadvertently think any new lead is a volunteer.
  • 2 test case fixes for when the style sheets don’t exist in the Volunteer Documents folder in the Documents tab. (This can happen if you burn a sandbox from an instance that has Volunteers installed).

VERSION 1.11

  • first version publicly available on the AppExchange!
  • released 4/20/2011
  • in visualforce pages for VolunteersJobListing? and VolunteersSignup?, we now specify standardStylesheets=”false” in the header tag, to make the overall file size smaller.
  • updated the default css in VolunteersJobListingCSS.css to override the default jQueryUI styles that were making the popup dialog look too large now that we are not including the standard Salesforce style sheets.
  • fixed problem in VolunteersJobListing where the first signup link would not work correctly, if ShowDescription=0 was specified.
  • Contact’s Volunteer Hours field now only includes Hours with Status=”Completed”.
  • Volunteer Hour’s field Total Hours Worked now only returns a value if status=”Completed”.
