Online Only Meeting requires address?

Enter any address. Name it Online Meeting. Use your local Intergroup address or something else. Check the online meeting type and put the URL and phone links in the appropriate places. People who read it will know it’s an online meeting.

Thanks for your reply.

We do not have a Central Office, only a local Intergroup PO Box. So now it looks like the meeting is at the Post Office…

Part of problem is that the address is not grayed or crossed out so it looks like the meeting is open at the address. Seems like the address should not be displayed at all for Online Only meetings.

Another problem is that when I enter a Zoom link for a Temporarily Closed meeting then the address is not grayed or crossed out. Again, it looks like the meeting is open online AND at the address.

Just use any address. Once you check online meeting type, though the map and the address will show, the plug-in will cross out the street address. Everyone will know that you’re not meeting in a physical location. They really don’t wanna break the plug-in because we will eventually get back to meeting and physical locations.

Uncheck temporarily closure because the meeting is still going on it’s just meeting online.

Thanks again.

The address is not crossed out when Temporary Closure is checked IF there is an online meeting URL. This seems like a bug.

I understand we do not want to break the plug-in. But we also want to make it as simple and obvious as we can. It is very possible this situation will continue well into next year…:(

It’s not a bug. Uncheck temporary closure. Check online meeting. Put the clickable links – meeting URL & phone numbers. Prefix the name of the meeting if you want with Online. People will understand it’s an online meeting.

BTW – I’m not the developer. Just another user of this wonderful plugin and trying to help.

Hi @cachevalleyaa,

I’m going to reevaluate our decision regarding display of online meetings. We might be able to strike out the address for them, or at least provide some clearer steps in the FAQ for a user to do so (sorry, I’ve been tied up trying to get some pressing bugs squashed).

Part of our challenge is that some users continue to hold physical meetings (with proper spacing between people I assume) *and* simultaneously having an online conference video/call.So, having the physical address remains valid.

If you get some good help from @wokat in EU, let’s try to capture that work and we’ll get it available for others who might be in your situation.

And thanks @octotoot for jumping in here.

Thanks for your service! I am a PC developer and understand much of the decisions and pressures…

Seems to me that the address cross out should simply be controlled by Temporary Closure.

That way we could indicate:
– open (no cross out, no “Online Meeting” tag)
– open and online (no cross out, “Online Meeting” tag)
– online only (crossed out, “Online Meeting” tag).

Thanks again for your service!

@cachevalleyaa,

Logged into your website, click on Customize–>Additional CSS

Add this and Publish:

#tsml #meetings .type-tc  td.location {
	opacity: 0.5;
	text-decoration: line-through;
}

#tsml #meetings .type-tc  td.address {
	opacity: 0.5;
	text-decoration: line-through;
}

That should line out the addresses and location for meetings with the TC type checked.

Couldn’t we apply the same for online meeting type?

I suppose so. Instead of .type-tc it would be .type-onl

I was under the impression he was mostly concerned with the meetings that were Temporarily Closed.

Thanks guys. This is what I was thinking about.

After adding code to cross out the region this is exactly what I had envisioned.

Not sure what is meant by question from @octotoot…?
