 * The Meeting Guide App on Android now shows some meetings as Professional Meeting
   Types. Please look into correcting this.

 * 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](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/](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](https://hacoaa.org/wp-content/out/meeting_list.pdf)

 * 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!
