Using webform and views to volunteer for repeating events
March 21, 2015, 03:24:37 pm
Hi all,

Here is my scenario.

High school sports team has multiple races that they need volunteers for.

Pretty much the same volunteer roles are required for each race.
So about 10 volunteer roles are available for about 6 different races.

I've got the events and volunteer stuff all set up in Civi and all links work fine.

I would however like to have a view for folks to edit and/or delete their volunteer submission if they need to without going into the back end.  I believe this would require me to use webforms for all submissions.

I'm trying to set up views like this:

View 1

Race 1
Race 2
Race 3

Race titles are links to a webform to volunteer for that event.
Having trouble with this view and passing the volunteer argument in the url.

View 2
Volunteer   Role      
John Doe   Hand washer   Edit   Delete

Where edit and delete are links to the webform.
This one should be a breeze once I get my mind around the first one.

I've been getting pretty good with views, webform and urls, but the extra layer of volunteers seems to be tripping me up.  It seems that CiviVolunteer is not fully integrated into views yet.

I'll be glad to write this up for the cookbook if I can get it going.

Any help?

Maybe form 1 doesn't need to be a webform. From the view could you just link to the CiviVolunteer form?

That was my initial thought, but I can't add the ability for end users to delete or edit their volunteer activity without going into the backend.

Unfortunately webforms also do not have the ability to delete activities, although they can update an activity status.

I was afraid of that...
Thanks Coleman.
