Integrate CiviCRM for volunteer system in existing Joomla site
July 02, 2007, 12:42:46 am
We want to integrate CiviCRM for a volunteer system in an existing Joomla website. I already installed CiviCRM but now I'm lost in how to setup a system with these requirements/wishes:

1. Show a list of volunteer tasks to every member
2. Member can sign up with multiple volunteer tasks, this can be one-time-only or recurring tasks
3. Members should be able to sign up for volunteer tasks chosen from a list of events (list or calendar)
4. Members should receive an email reminder a few days before the event they signed up to will start
5. Members can see a list of volunteer tasks they fulfilled, against a list of volunteer time they should fulfill in a year
6. Volunteer task managers can assign members to certain volunteer tasks after having contact
7. The task owner (person/member who is responsible for selecting volunteers for an event) administrates fulfilled tasks

Perhaps important to know is that every member of the club is required to fulfill a minimum amount of volunteer tasks a year. If not, a bill will be sent afterwards (members can pay a certain amount a year to buy off their volunteer requirements though). Is this also possible?

Can CiviCRM do this all, or some parts?

Thanks for your ansers,
Flagio

A full-fledged Volunteer Management component as you've described below is not available in CiviCRM at this time. You can probably use a combination of custom fields for contacts (or memberships) to manually track volunteer hours. And create a custom "Activity Type" which can be used to track each volunteering task. However, you would have to do custom coding to allow online signup for volunteer tasks, viewing of completed tasks etc.

There has been some discussion about developing and contributing a component for this on the wiki:

You might check in w/ Joe Murray about the status of this effort.

This CiviVolunteer, CiviCommittee module looks very promising. Unfortunately it's developed for Drupal only and we need something like this for Joomla.
