Special cases, conventions & troubleshooting

Districts that import automatically

These ones push their meetings into the CAUK TSML every day:

Digital district
Wales area
Central area
Sussex area

Don't edit their meetings on our side — the next daily import will wipe your changes. If someone reports a problem with one of these, contact the relevant WTF coordinator and get it fixed at source.

Broken link / in-person problem reports

Work out which district owns the meeting.
If it's yours, sort it.
If not, pass it on to whoever runs that district.

The `****` convention

Got a note that'll need removing later? Wrap it in **** on both sides:

**** Meeting moved to the small hall for July ****

When you want to clear them out, search for ** and you'll find the lot.

Hiding a meeting without deleting it

Online meeting: delete the URL. It'll show as inactive on the front end.
In-person meeting: tick No on "Can this meeting be attended in person?"

"Private" meetings — don't bother

There's a tool to mark a meeting as private so it only lives in the back end. Don't use it. Creating a new meeting takes two minutes — just trash the old one and start again if it comes back round. Private meetings can also cause cache issues on people's devices.

Custom addresses via `functions.php`

Every so often you'll want an address to display differently to whatever Google Maps says. That's done by editing the tsml_custom_addresses array in functions.php.

This is an IT webservant job. Don't touch functions.php yourself unless you know what you're doing.
