I totally agree! Hi Australia!

I do not appreciate your tone. I have followed what you told me to with no solution.
Your plugin has not been updated for 10 months now and it is not even guaranteed for the latest WordPress version so not worth talking about this more. I will find something else that IS up to date. There is the lesson for me. Not to work with outdated plugins.

Wishing you all the best and also hoping that you will eventually develop some better bedside manners for customers.

I am disappointed. It does not sound as if you want to help me get rid of your plugin’s useless pop-up. If there is a version of software your plugin requires, I would say you make it part of the installation procedure. I will remove your plugin and look for another that does work properly.

This is the whole error message as suggested in your FAQ.
All the troubleshooting steps were done without result. As soon as I enable your plugin I get this error on the Widgets page. Judging by the trace of the error, it is generated by your plugin.

Oh, and as a by the way, this happens in all my browsers and also when I going to the widgets page via my phone.

I have a staging site identical to the one where this happens.
I have de-activated all plugins there, including yours. As soon as I re-activate yours, the dialog comes back. This plugin does what I want it to do but it is very annoying that I 1) cannot read the title and 2) it ignores the dismiss.

Please help me solve this issue.

I could put on my ‘let’s look intelligent’ glasses, but even when I open the console I see nothing that makes sense to me because I do not speak Javascript. So it is hard to interpret what I am supposed to be looking for.

This is the part that pops up in the browser after the dialog that won’t disappear shows up. If it makes sense to you, please feel free to explain.

Yes. I tried to use different browsers and there is no difference. If only I knew what the dialog is saying. Does it not sound familiar to you? I only see the ‘dismiss’ option but not what is in the dialog.

This is happening in the backend of the website, not the front end. There is nothing in the FAQ that I found helpful. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
I am on the latest versions of Wp and 2.6.9 of the plugin.

I did find a simple plugin, Show IDs, that will display the IDs of each post in the WordPress backend. The ID is also in the XML Export of the Meeting list so now I am concentrating of learning how to work with XML. It sure keeps me off the streets!

I keep my meeting data updated in an off-website database.
I use the link to the frontend as visible in the URL to quickly go to the meeting details (e.g. https://al-anon.alateen.on.ca/meetings/elec-faith,-hope,-&-serenity-afg-orillia-d1/?tsml-day=any). I calculate that URL with the name of the meeting in my database.

I also use the backend WordPress Post ID to do the same for instantly jumping to edit mode for the relevant meeting. Unfortunately the Post ID is not accessible via the plugin, but you see it when hovering over any of the meetings in the meetings list. It looks something like this:
https://al-anon.alateen.on.ca/wp-admin/post.php?post=30388&action=edit
I calculate this string using the post ID. One time exercise to include it in all listings, but after that it is a huge timesaver.

No need to go to the TSML list, perform a find by name or something else, then click ‘Edit’ to access the data. All of those steps are skipped.

The only thing I need to keep an eye on is adjusting the post ID after doing a batch import. But with the current features in the plugin there is less and less need for that.

All of these things are personal choices and all require some work at some point, but when the choice is mine, I’d rather invest one chunk of time and then benefit from more speed and less actions, then having to go through the same actions every time I need to make an edit.

I cannot believe that the only unique identifier is the name of the meeting in the slug. If WordPress has the post ID, then why can that not be included in exports so that we can re-import a changed batch? Anyway, it is probably harder than I can imagine and my solutions fits my workflow right now.

OK, Sorry for confusing you. I have re-read your original posting and I realise that my answer does not fit your question. I thought you were referring to the basic TMSL-meeting pages. I don’t use gravity forms so I have no advice for you to put this in there.

I have my meeting details in a FileMaker database. The names of my groups are in there. I have also created a box that contains an adjusted group name. It looks like this:
(TC) groupname – town – (D3) for temporarily closed meetings. I mark group names that are online with (elec) groupname – town – (D3).

I then have a version of the group name that takes out all spaces and substitutes them by hyphens. Same for my ‘(‘ and ‘)’. I then configure what is the prefix of the page url (the name of the site) and the suffix (the bit that is like ‘/?tsml-day=any’ The result is the name of the group listing that looks the same as the url when I am on that groups details page. It goes from the true group name:
(elec) Keep It Simple AFG – Barrie (D1) to:
https://al-anon.alateen.on.ca/meetings/elec-al-anon-spoken-here-afg-toronto-d19/?tsml-day=any

All of this is then to make the finding of the meeting easier in the front end, which can be helpful. But then going from that details page into the backend, unfortunately the address of that same page looks different:
https://al-anon.alateen.on.ca/wp-admin/post.php?post=30368&action=edit

And I really wished we would have a list of the PHP post code that is appended to that particular meeting. Then I could go there directly using the URL and make my changes. In and out within seconds.

In your case, if you have a list of the group/meeting list in your gravity form and if you can transform the name of the listing as described above, it should bring users to the relevant listing. On the Listing Details page is a ‘Request to change this listing’ that can then be emaild to notify you about changed. Since the full name as used on the website is given in that email,it is helpful to use it as a search of the name in the backend. And then make your changes.

If it is not possible in Gravity to calculate the URL names to what is in the URL address online, than the thing you wish to do is not possible. It would at minimum require that adjusted name to make it the same as the real URL link.

Teaching your users to use the filters that are already there in the Listview of the meeting seems a more simple idea.

I was just thinking aloud here, I hope I have not confused you….

To the Developer People:

If anyone at any time can shed some light on the number of the post that is visibly only in the backend when you are in a specific meeting listing, that might be a tremendous help for finding a meeting that needs a correction. If I could access that page in the backed of the website, it would be a huge, huge timesaver to be able to go there directly.

I hope it helps….

We actually do, but it is a bit hidden and not intuitive.
In the filters in the header of the list of meetings is a search section with a magnifying glass icon.
You can type criteria for the location and for the name of the group. After entering the criteria, hitting the magnifying glass performs the search and the results are then shown in the list.

The less intuitive part is that it takes the other filters into consideration as well. So if you were to enter ‘Toronto’ and the other filter is set to a District outside of Toronto or on a day where there is no meeting in Toronto, it would come up with an empty list.

I would love a more advances way to search in both front end and back end of WordPress. My site does have a general search box in its menu and whatever I enter in there will also act on the meetings.

It is always hard to make a website or tool that is intuitive for all, it must be hard to design or else it would already be there. But the filter search is better than nothing,

Is this not connected to allowing or disallowing location services?
