12 step meeting pdf plugin: column2 sort by, and create breaks by region (city)

Hi,
I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to put these changes in place. I have another change stacked up already. Once I make one change, the second will be much quicker. I have been busy lately with work (I do computer/network support).

Thanks.

In the meantime, I think we would use the table1 format. Only trouble is, the Group name seems to be missing.?
See https://test.aaneok.org/wp-content/uploads/table1_meeting_list.pdf
Is there a fast fix? I don’t mind making the fix temporarily myself. I’m fluent in both php and tcppdf. Not so fluent in WP plugins.

If you’re fluent in PHP, you can edit the plugin files directly. If you want to poke around at the files, you can view them here:

The error was in 12-step-meeting-pdf.php
(line numbers are as shown in the GitHub code)

on line 162 the code reads
‘group’ => @$meeting[‘group’],
it should read
‘group’ => @$meeting[‘name’],
group is not an index in the $meeting array.
I’m not sure how the code is working for anyone.

Also, line 146 reads
$key = @$meeting[‘group_id’] . ‘-‘ . @$meeting[‘location_id’];
There is no group_id index in the $meeting array, so the first term evaluates to null. I’m not sure if that makes a difference.

That will let us use the table1 format until you are kind enough to get column2 format changed to print by region.

Thanks. As an old php coder, it was fun to dig into the guts of a plugin a bit.

Hi, I can’t create a new topic, so have to add to this one. I haven’t been able to use the .pdf generator for a few weeks now. I keep getting this error: There has been a critical error on your website.

We haven’t changed anything on the website except keeping updates done, and I was able to use it successfully for the last 6 months or so.

Any ideas what to even look for that might be causing this? I’m a Business Analyst dabbling in WordPress, so I have no real idea where to even look for an error.

Thanks so much! Cecil R.

@webmasteraaneok,
Thanks for the code for Table1 outut. I put that in place, and will be included in a release in the next few days.

I’m looking at the column2 layout, currently:
Grouped by Day
sub-grouped by Time

you’re looking for:
grouped by region (city)
sub-grouped by sub-region?

doesn’t sound like you are using sub-region. For my intergroup, I use region for state, and sub-region for city.

I’m not sure why it’s not working. I have minor experience with supporting WordPress sites, so I’m not sure what to tell you except to find someone who has experience supporting wordpress.

marking as resolved
