I looked in the Meeting Guide App, and found a couple of the LOH meetings. I then clicked on these meetings, and clicked the “View Web Page” button. This took me to the meeting page on a neighboring city’s intergroup site. What this means is that the Meeting Guide App is getting it’s information about these meetings from that neighboring site, not from your site.

I think you have at least 3 courses of action you can take:

• If that neighboring site is getting a feed from your site, then you should ask them to refresh the feed from your site, which will update their site, and the meetings will show closed in Meeting Guide in a few hours.
• If they are not getting a feed from you, you can ask them to manually mark the meetings as Temporary Closure. The update of the 12 Step Meeting List plugin that was released today will help them do that easier.
• You could contact GSO, and ask them to switch these meetings from the other site to your site. If they do that, then your changes would go into Meeting Guide.

@octotoot Thanks, glad to share how I did that!

It’s a two step process. First step was to change the meeting types that are “flagged” in the meeting name as described in the FAQ, under the question “Can I see types in the meeting list?” The code I added to the theme’s functions.php file included all the types our site uses:

// Added for 12 Step Meeting Guide plugin
if (function_exists('tsml_custom_flags')) {
                tsml_custom_flags(array('M', 'W', 'O', 'C', '11', '12x12', 'B', 'DR', 'D', 'GR', 'LS', 'LGBTQ', 'BE', 'SP', 'BA', 'SM'));
}

Next, I customized the theme to add some additional CSS:

tbody#meetings_tbody small{font-size:0.6em !important; display:none;}
tbody#meetings_tbody small:after{content:")";}
tbody#meetings_tbody small:before{content:"(" !important;}
div#tsml div#meetings div.results:before {content:"* Closed meetings are for people who want to quit drinking. Anyone is welcome at Open meetings.";font-size:0.65em; padding:5px 0 20px 15px;}

div#tsml #meetings .types { display: table-cell !important; font-size:0.6em; }
div#tsml #meetings .types:before { content:"("; }
div#tsml #meetings .types:after { content:")"; }
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    div#tsml #meetings .types { display:none !important; }
    tbody#meetings_tbody small{display:block;}
}

Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.

if (function_exists('tsml_custom_types')) {
    tsml_custom_types(array(
        'LGBTQ' => 'LGBTQ+',
    ));
}

This is just replacing a meeting type, as is mentioned in the FAQ under My meeting type isn’t listed

I think the functions.php will get overwritten when your theme updates. If you’re worried about that, you could make a subtheme, then add this code to the subtheme.

When I looked at your link, it appear you’ve figured out a way to do it, which is great. However, I wanted to share a way I added some text to https://www.aacentraliowa.org/meetings. I did this through CSS by adding:

div#tsml div#meetings div.results:before {content:"* Closed meetings are for people who want to quit drinking. Anyone is welcome at Open meetings.";font-size:0.65em; padding:5px 0 20px 15px;}

Using this method though CSS, I did not find a way to include html tags, such as hyperlinks, it’s just straight text.

That’s also the way I understand how Meeting Guide works.

However, if you are feeding meetings from a WordPress site using the 12 Step Meeting List plugin into another WordPress site, then it does not filter out duplicates.

For example, the Area website in Area 24 keeps a list of meetings in the area. When I brought up a site for District 3 in Area 24, I had the webmaster delete all the meetings for my district from the Area site. Then he set up a “Data Source” to pull the District 3 meetings into his site through this feed. Then, when I make a change to a meeting, I email him, and he clicks the button to refresh the data source, which pulls in my changes.

Both the Area feed, and the District feed, are provided to the Meeting Guide app, and both feeds contain all the meetings from my district. Meeting Guide takes some meetings from the district site, and some from the area site. It doesn’t make a big difference which feed they take the information from, because both have the same information for these meetings.

One other thing to note, if the Area webmaster tries to edit a meeting from my district on the Area site, he will get a message on the top of the edit screen saying the information for that meeting is coming from a data source, and the next time he refreshes the feed, it will override his changes. Therefore, any changes to the meetings have to be initiated on the District site.

I think the following css code addresses the 5 questions about styling the Meeting Widget. I see you have some existing styles which may override these, so these should be last in your list of styles.

.tsml-widget-upcoming td {padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0; text-align:left;}
.tsml-widget-upcoming td.region {display:none; }
.tsml-widget-upcoming td.name a {color:#cc0000; font-size:1.2em; text-decoration:underline;}
.tsml-widget-upcoming td.name a:hover {text-decoration:none;}
.tsml-widget-upcoming tr {padding:0; margin:0;}
.tsml-widget-upcoming p a:before {content:"View All Meetings"; visibility:visible; font-weight:700; }
.tsml-widget-upcoming p a {visibility:hidden;}

BTW, I think future questions might require an on-site visit 🙂

Try putting this code in the functions.php file in your theme

$tsml_programs['da']['abbr'] = 'UA'; //Override the initials in the browser tab

This may have to be redone when the theme updates, but it’s only one line to change.
