meeting “types” column

    Hello,

    I am receiving many complaints that no one can see whether a meeting is “open” or “closed,” etc.

    First I carefully went over the “Type” column in the spreadsheet before re-importing the whole thing, to make sure all my types matched your standard ones. Then I followed your instructions to add custom CSS to show a “types” column.

    The column does appear now, but it is blank. Also, if you look at the generated full-page PDF, there is still no “Type” there at all. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t care whether it shows in the “live” meeting list, but it really needs to be in the PDF.

    Are the types showing up on the meetings themselves? Can you share a link>

    No, the types are not showing up anywhere. Only the field name shows up on the listing, but not anywhere else.

    Ok, so looks like the problem was in the import. Was there a column named “Types” in the CSV? If it was named something different that could be the problem.

    Aha! Thanks. The column in the spreadsheet was named “Type,” not “Types.” That fixed it. Up to a point… the Types now show, but the column is only (7) characters wide. Is that in the CSS too? I would love to make some of the others narrower as well.

    I also just noticed that I now have “/Men” and “/Women” and so on in the meeting names, even though I did NOT add that CSS patch. I wouldn’t mind except that the type appended to the name is in a microsocopic font, and looks silly…

    Ah, glad it’s fixed.

    Yeah the types column looks bad on most themes, which is why it’s hidden by default. I would suggest going back to that. Users who are looking for a particular type of meeting can always use the filter above to isolate just those meetings.

    It does show Men / Women by default, because that’s important info for everyone to know when selecting a meeting. Your theme has a unusually large base font size, which is why these look small. Try adding this CSS:

    `
    #tsml #meetings small { font-size: .75rem !important; }
    `

    Looks good, thanks again! I will play with the theme a little more, maybe even change it.
