URL Links

  • The notes, group, and location fields don’t seem to render html clickable links. What we’re finding as some meetings are moving inside, there are several links we’d like to provide. These may be a waiver form they have to download before they can come into a meeting, or a link to some policy the facility may have posted on their website, or anything else.

    Currently we can add two website links which doesn’t seem to be enough.

    Thanks.

    Hi–

    Something like this was discussed before relating to online meetings or other links. We don’t allow these because they cannot be imported into Meeting Guide (mobile app security).

    The best solution currently is going to be a comment asking people to copy and paste the link in a new browser tab.

    The notes sections in meeting guide app has become a less useful tool during the pandemic ever since our meetings have taken different formats.

    You’re saying because the app policy is not to accept clickable links that we can’t have such in any sections? The app doesn’t even display the group or location notes. To get this information, you have to “View Web Page”.

    Why can’t TSML plugin at least enable these two sections for clickable links?

    I know you viewed the temp location closed and online meeting types as a short term fix, but I think this all needs to be re-evaluated. This pandemic is not going away any time soon. Our meetings are going to be online, temp (how long is temp?) suspended, hybrid, outdoor, and indoor combinations for the foreseeable future. At minimum — a year. It distresses me too, but unfortunately this is our reality.

    The good news is people are going to meetings — some more than they ever did before. And newcomers have been getting sober during this time. They’re finding our meetings listed on the website.

    Been using a useful wordpress plugin called “Header and Footerscripts” to add javascript to adjust the behaviour of content on page load. Re the query above a piece of javascript (once referenced) – would find and make any web link active on page load (borrowed from discussions on stackoverflow).

    Thankful for the work of the whole team keeping tens of thousands of 12 steppers uptodate with meeting info btw.

    function rep(text) {
    // Put the URL to variable $1 and Domain name
    // to $3 after visiting the URL
    var Rexp =
    /(\b(https?|ftp):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/gim;

    // Replacing the RegExp content by HTML element
    return text.replace(Rexp,
    “<span class=\”color-accent\”>$1</span><br>”);
    }
