In reply to: [Book a Room] Book-a-Room w/ gMailAhh… good tips; Thank you.
I won’t overload the conversation here; For a variety of reasons this WordPress installation is running under IIS. It’s a decision that I frequently regret.
This particular app/plugin however is valuable enough that I may very well set it up on a new server where I will have more control.
Our needs for this app are a little different; It’s internal use only. We needed a good way for facilities staff to process meeting room set ups; I’m going to need to reformat some CSS to get a 7 day calendar view simplfied and will need to add a “refreshment/shopping cart” which I have already written in javascript.
Obviously if I move it to a new server I have options other than gmail for sending so I’m not tooo worried about it at the moment.
I’ll share my modifications once I get it up and running well.
Very nice code BTW – good notes too.
– Thanks Again

In reply to: [Book a Room] Book-a-Room w/ gMailThanks for the quick reply.
– Yes I tried it both ways. We had to change a couple of our web apps because Google refuse to let them send. I’ve also had some other plugins that would NOT work with the “SMTP/gMail” replacements for mail().
I have some other options I can test; I’ll keep the thread open for a day or two in case I can post a solution at some future point.

In reply to: [Book a Room] Broken URLUnderstood; ..fyi..
Before I saw your reply here, I changed the Settings/Permalink structure to
https://wiki.novilibrary.org/home/sample-post/
This immediately resolved the problem;
Plugin popped up the next page to capture additional booking information; I will go back experiment with these settings. I understand how they relate to each other.
Thanks for your help and the super fast reply!!

In reply to: [Book a Room] Broken URLI know you can’t see it;
::Big SMILE::
That’s why I went the extra mile to show you how the plugin is contstructing a ‘broken url’. Simply put, the plugin is adding the base URL Twice:
What you see above is exactly what the plugin throws out.
This first part here “https://wiki.novilibrary.org/home/?page_id=” is redundant.
It does this will IE 11, Chrome and Firefox.
I’ll experiment with the PERMALINK Option;
~ May try to edit some code;Our WordPress is a very basic install, with few plugins and themes. I have tested other themes; same error.
I did read 100% of the “support Topics”;
Just wondered if maybe you had encountered this before;
Thanks anyway.

In reply to: [Book a Room Event Calendar] Event SettingsWe were able to locate this information in the WordPress directory. For examaple, our WordPress is installed into a directory named “home”: So when navigating to this folder, you should see folders for:
home/wp-admin
home/wp-content
home/wp-includes* Note “HOME” is our folder name, your word press install folder may vary.
Look for a file: wp-config.php (NOT wp-config-sample.php)
Using FTP, you simply navigate to the word press home/install directory (could be WordPress) and locate WP-CONFIG.PHP. You can download a local copy, or simply open it with a file/text editor. {Be careful NOT to make changes!}
~ This file should contain the dBase name, DB Hostname / Username / Password you are using for this WordPress installation.
The Prefix for this plug-in is “random/user choice”, encryption SALT if I remember correctly.
I hope this is helpful.
