PCO: Group import needs implemented

[spurgeonbj]

Shalom!!

Apologies for my noob questions. I am new to C# and modern VS environment.4

I tried building and ended up with a build error. VS Build Output is as follows.

> Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
> Error	CS0117	'PCOApi' does not contain a definition for 'ExportGroups'	Slingshot.PCO	C:\Rock\Slingshot-master\Slingshot.PCO\MainWindow.xaml.cs	133	N/A

Apparently reference to ExportGroups is not included properly. In my understanding, this is something like a incomplete make file (from linux background :-) ).

Can some one kindly help with instructions to build this correctly?

Thanks!

Hello,

The error you are encountering is because of this: https://github.com/SparkDevNetwork/Slingshot/blob/develop/Slingshot.PCO/Utilities/PCOApi.cs#L467

Unfortunately the ExportGroups method is not yet implemented. I believe the code that is there but commented out is the code from the F1 slingshot.

The reason Group Export isn't implemented yet is because PCO doesn't have an API to support it. At least last I checked. And yes, This code is copied from the F1 exported and not working. The PCO export tool is still a work in progress. I believe it does work for people and giving, though even that has more work needs to be done. Because PCO has separate lists of people, for serving, for people, and for giving. And each one houses different information, and sometimes, different people records.
