Problems with civiVolunteer

[richard_simon_bda]

Has anyone got any experience with civiVolunteer? I'm running civiCRM 4.4 with Drupal and installed the civiVolunteer extension. When I create an event and try to enable Volunteer Management I get the following error:

"Sorry but we are not able to provide this at the moment.
Not enough data to create volunteer project object."

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

That sounds like a bug.
Can you enable debug + backtrace on your site and post the backtrace here?

Here's the backtrace:

Hi, Richard,

Not sure what's going on, and I'm not able to recreate it on CiviCRM 4.4.4 and CiviVolunteer 1.3. What's the full version number of your CiviCRM instance?

If you're willing to do a little debugging, I might be able to help you more. In org.civicrm.volunteer/CRM/Volunteer/BAO/Project.php, search for:

Code: [Select]

static function create(array $params) {

Add a new line at the very top of the function.

Code: [Select]

var_dump($params); die();

Paste that back in here and maybe we'll see where things are going wrong. Because we're dumping data to the screen, it'd be preferable to do this on a copy of your site rather than your live site.

PS: Can someone please move this thread to the CiviVolunteer forum? I don't have forum superpowers.

I am using civiCRM 4.4.4. The site is still under development so no problem debugging.

Here's what I got when I plugged in the line of code:

array(4) { ["entity_id"]=> NULL ["entity_table"]=> string(13) "civicrm_event" ["is_active"]=> string(1) "1" ["target_contact_id"]=> string(1) "1" }

Hope that this helps and thanks!

R,

That's very interesting. The event ID isn't getting passed along for some reason. Must be some strange edge case.

Try this and let me know if it fixes it. If it does, we'll put it in 1.4.

Open up org.civicrm.volunteer/CRM/Volunteer/Form/Volunteer.php. There's a function called postProcess which starts at around line 134. About 8 lines in, you'll see $params['entity_id'] is set to $this->_id. Change $this->_id to $form['id']. You'll end up with this:

Code: [Select]

    $params = array(
      'entity_id' => $form['id'],
      'entity_table' => CRM_Event_DAO_Event::$_tableName,
    );


[richard_simon_bda]

Did what you asked. Same problem. Here's the error (same as before):

array(4) { ["entity_id"]=> NULL ["entity_table"]=> string(13) "civicrm_event" ["is_active"]=> string(1) "1" ["target_contact_id"]=> string(1) "1" }

Tried creating another event, just in case but got the exact same error.

Should I try uninstalling civiVolunteer and then reinstalling?

[GinkgoFJG]

I think it's highly unlikely un/re-installing CiviVolunteer is going to resolve the problem for you. I don't think this is a problem with CiviVolunteer per se, but if you want to find me on IRC we can chat some more. I think I can help you more if I can get access to your box or if you can get me a copy of your site/DB.

[richard_simon_bda]

You're right! The uninstall/reinstall made no difference. I'll watch for you on IRC. Thanks!
