Zoom Events Something changed with #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} ?

    Hello,

    #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} worked just fine until a week ago, for sending confirmation emails to users once registered, or (display on a web page) EG. In the confirmation email, this would provide them with a direct link to join the meeting. IE:
    URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83271468562?pwd=ZnExWXIvbU5LYTVDLzFEM1RCc21NQT09

    Now, the same process provide them with a link like this :
    URL: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86571046284
    so that they are now requested by zoom to register to the meeting

    Note that I always selected “registration required, Manual approval” when creating my zoom events thru the plugin

    I can see that the user’s emails are actually registered in zoom with a “approved” status. I can also see that Zoom now sends it’s own confirmation email with a valid direct join link (no need to register using this link)

    The above shows that things have changed in Zoom and/or Event Manager

    Which place-holder should I now use to get and display a valid direct join link ? or maybe the “join_url” placeholder is no longer provisioned correctly with the changes having taken place in Zoom ? Just guessing

    Thanks for your help

    Lionel

    Hi ,
    Moving forward,
    1. I found that the “#_EVENTLOCATION{join_url}” placeholder is no longer usable when registration is required. In that case, the #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK is what I was looking for, IE., a direct link for the participant to join the meeting. This placeholder works well in the confirmation email …
    … but it does not seem to be working in the single event page format, where I used to display the join_url on the event page, whenever the logged in user has a booking. If I replace #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} by #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK in the following code, #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK does not get translated:

    {is_user_attendee_1}
<p>
     <a href="#_EVENTLOCATION{join_url}">Lien de connection</a> <br/>
     Meeting ID : #_EVENTLOCATION{id} <br/>
     Meeting Password : #_EVENTLOCATION{password} <br/>
</p>
{/is_user_attendee_1}

    2. Until this is solved, I decided to create my events with “no registration required”. Problem here is, no confirmation email is sent to the participants after I approve their bookings.

    Looks like I’m stuck here … could someone please take a look into this ?

    Thank you

    Lionel
