Thinking our Participation meeting type custom override got read by Meeting Guide app as a Professional meeting type, as both used the ‘P’ meeting code.
We may want to check our tsml program uses no custom overrides to introduce new meeting types using reserved characters.
Ah, that’s what’s going on! The thing to do is to change the type to something that’s not used on https://github.com/meeting-guide/spec#meeting-types and then re-save the meetings. If there are a lot, a SQL query might be the way to go.
What does “Participation” mean in this context? Is it like Discussion?
There are about 100, and a SQL Query would be ideal, but it is saved as text json in the post_meta table. Resaving or a custom update PHP updater may work, and I think resaving in this case is faster, but for a National/Global Scale the other options may be faster.
Yes, many are Participation/Discussion, great advice, thank you!!
Right, it’s actually PHP serialized but yeah. So I *think* if you changed your key to
“PART” then you could use this query (or similar, and back up your data first please!):
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = REPLACE(meta_value, 's:1:"P";', 's:4:"PART";') WHERE meta_key = "types"
One key element is that the string length is changing from 1 to 4 in the example, if you choose a different code then the length should match.
Good luck!
Also because of caching the steps are:
1) change the key in your theme’s functions.php
2) run the sql
3) go in to wp and edit and save a meeting, to refresh the cache
all done, thanks!
this plugin is phenomenal! you provide great support too!!
I also got a pdf generator listed at https://wordpress.org/plugins/12-step-meeting-pdf-generator/ working already, though it is not plug and play. Not my plugin and apparently forked from NY Intergroup efforts. There is a meeting class, filename, and object declaration that can be modified, and it will work out-of-the-box! This is what was done for hacoaa.org, and it works… https://hacoaa.org/wp-content/out/meeting_list.pdf
Forked dev pages at:
https://github.com/cdtoews/12-step-meeting-pdf
https://wordpress.org/plugins/12-step-meeting-pdf-generator/
It generates nice reports, if you’d like to include it in the base code
just wondering i found a tcpdf folder in the includes folder for this plugin, will this help the pdf generator plugin, or is there an independent reason for including it?
This is used by the current PDF feature, but I’m going to take that out before long, since there’s another plugin that does a better job!
Whoops yes you found the plugin in question
