    Hi,

    Awesome plugin!
    Trouble is I have a lot of requests for tweaking and not much experience with php. ;(. Anyway, I saw that someone had asked about changing the url of the meetings page. I am not sure I am understanding the answer. What I would like to to if it’s possible is display it on a regular page so I would have more control of where things are on the page (sidebars, other tables, etc.) Is that possible? I saw the other post that suggested changing the variable in the functions.php file to $tsml_slug = ‘schedule’; — That term is only listed twice in that file. The second one is: global $tsml_slug; — if I change that as suggested can I create a page named “Schedule” to show the meetings? Sorry for being a dunce about this.
    I know you are busy, and I actually have it installed on a second “test” site, so there’s not much of a rush.

    Thanks in advance,
    Wendy D.

    Hey Wendy,

    We get this request a lot, and the answer unfortunately is no, because it’s more than just one page, this plugin creates pages for each meeting and they all need to know the address of the main page.

    The main page is what’s called an ‘archive’ page — you can change its URL, but you can’t make it act like a regular page without digging around in the PHP and really customizing it. There are instructions in the FAQ on how to do that but it requires a working knowledge of PHP.

    There’s a project underway to eventually move the whole meeting finder (including all the subpages) into a widget, but no specific ETA on if or when that’ll be ready.

    @aasanjose – jumping into this thread because the archive page caught my attention. Is there any way it could just be called meetings and drop the word archive from the title?

    We don’t call it that; it’s just WP’s name for the type of page. If you’re seeing that word anywhere it’s coming from your theme and should be easy to change. Just search that word in your theme’s dir and change it to something else…

    I am not sure where or how to find this in the theme dir. Can you give me some pointers where to look?? If need be, I will open my own thread so I don’t clobber this one.

    Thanks.
