Zoom Events #_EVENTLOCATION{join_url} Something’s changed
-
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=ZnExWXIvbU5LYTVDLzFEM1RCc21NQT09Now, 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 meetingNote that I always selected “registration required, Manual approval” when creating my zoom events thru the plugin
I can see that the user’s emails have been automatically 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 that does not require any registration nor login.
The above shows that things have changed in Zoom and/or Event Manager
Moving forward,
1. I found that the “#_EVENTLOCATION{join_url}” placeholder is no longer usable whenever registration is required. In that case, the #_BOOKINGZOOMJOINLINK has 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}

Lien de connection <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. I think I’ll create a specific thread for that issue.Looks like I’m stuck here … could someone please take a look into this ?
Thank you
Lionel
