My organization hired a consultant to do some customizations. One of the things they did was to write a trigger that runs after a gift is created or updated and to update fields on the associated contact's record. But, it is failing when I try to update more than 10ish records at a time, either via the data loader or via bulk update from lists. 

Can someone either: 

1 - Look at this code and tell me how I can update it so it can handle bulk updates, or 

2 - Tell me how to temporarily disable this trigger so I can update the records? 

Any help would be grately appreciated!!!!!

I want to create a new button with content source URL. Where is there a reference guide for this?

I want to do something similar to this: http://sputnikmoment.com/blog/custom-button#.UaebF0C1GSp, but instead of creating a new opportunity I want it to edit the contact with some pre-loaded fields. I have no idea how to build that URL though. 

Also, something on getting started with buttons would be helpful, I can find bits and pieces, but nothing that walks you through creating the different types of buttons and provides reference for the development / code needed.

Help much appreciated!

Thanks.

I am starting to implement campaigns at my organization, and there are some things that seem like double work. I'm wondering if I should be setting up workflow rules or if I'm using fields in the wrong way.

So, let's say we have campaign "Spring 2013" and I get a response back in the form of revenue from the organization / contact that was sent the campaign. 

When I get the check in, I enter it as an opportunity in SF, adding Spring 2013 as primary campaign source and then separately I have to go into the contact record and mark the campaign member as responded. This seems weird and redundant.
