Notes Section: Clickable links

For AA Belrinn, we wrote a tiny plugin that allows for more prominent notifications.

For the Meeting Guide app we add lines in the meeting notes that start with IMPORTANT: or UPDATE: and contain the zoom link.

The plugin then has a tiny bit of JS/CSS that remakes those paragraphs into flashy messages and links:
https://www.alcoholics-anonymous-berlin.de/meetings/prime-time-is-now-solution-treating-the-ism-speaker-discussion-2?tsml-day=any&tsml-region=berlin&tsml-type=ONLINE 1

You can download the plugin code from GitHub: https://github.com/aa-berlin/alcoholics-anonymous-berlin.de/tree/master/wp-content/plugins/aa-berlin-addons

So this is not just in place for the Meeting App, but also in the basecode of the plugin, to be used by other 12 Step Program websites as well?

It is a standalone plugin. It just finds any paragraph with those words and makes them into message boxes, or any https://... text in a paragraph without any other html…

I would download the files as a ZIP from GitHub and customize them as needed: https://github.com/aa-berlin/alcoholics-anonymous-berlin.de/archive/master.zip

In that ZIP find /wp-content/plugins/aa-berlin-addons and copy that into your plugin folder and activate the plugin.

Someone from the plugin team would have to talk to you about adding this feature to TSML.

The Meeting Guide app only gets the plain text, so we do not break anything there.

So do i have this correct this is considered an online AA meeting?

@sassymama, I am confused on what you’re asking.

Are you asking if this *thread* is an online AA meeting?

@wokat I am going to install this plugin this afternoon, this look perfect for what we need, thank you so much!

@sassymama this is for a workaround for the meeting list plugin for meetings that are temporarily going online

@wokat Working perfectly! Thank you 100000 times!

What link do i click for online aa meetings? I think iv created the wrong account. It wouldn’t allow me to register with the original app so i created one on here an its sooo different from the app itself. So im just wondering.

I installed this plugin and it is working great. Thank you! One of our meetings is going to have a Zoom meeting (audio only, I think), and this plugin let us update the note section with the URL to the Zoom meeting. This was exactly what my meeting organizer asked for. So very much: thank you!

@sassymama this WordPress forum is a place where web site administrators who are using the WordPress plugin “12 Step Meeting List” can ask questions of the developer and community for help with getting the WordPress plugin working.

People like myself manage a website; in my case, for a Central Office in California.

You are correct that there is a companion app, Meeting Guide, which you can get for your smartphone. But they are two different things. “12 Step Meeting List” (TSML for short) in how we put the meetings into our web sites. The app, Meeting Guide, is how smartphones show the meetings, on the phone, sorted by GPS location. So one is input, and the other output. Technically, TSML creates several forms of output; some for WordPress, some for file output, and even some .pdf for printing. Another way to think of it is that TSML is the publishing engine, and Meeting Guide is the subscriber.

So if you are looking at how to add a link in your meeting on your web site, this WordPress forum is the right place to be. But if you are more just looking for online meetings, you might be interested in https://aa-intergroup.org/directory.php

I hope this helps. ??

I have installed the plugin provided by Wokat.

Thank you! This is working well for us at the moment.

Big thumbs up.

Limited grasp of code here, but I’ve downloaded the aa-berlin-addons plugin and uploaded to the plugins folder but no love. Tried zipping and using the automated install process but it gave “no valid plugin found” message. Reading through the files there are references to custom WP blocks – you know if this doesn’t play well with page builders? We’re using SiteOrigins PageBuilder, haven’t been using the stock WP Gutenberg block editor.

UPDATE gets you green love
zoom links get you zoom love
returns get no love (auto converted to <br>, breaking the no html rule in Notes area)

@wokat => Well done! Great Job!!
