tsml ui default display

[iloveaaservice]

I have embedded tsml ui on a custom php page. I followed the documentation and it works quite well -- except it loads all meetings instead of just todays meetings. How do I change the data-src line from ".../wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=meetings" to show this days meetings and have the "Anyday" dropdown show this days name?

Thanks for your help.

hi @iloveaaservice - TSML UI shows all meetings starting at "now" - we don't recommend trying to limit to a specific day because then the list starts at the beginning of the day, forcing users to scroll down past meetings they already missed. this is how the 12 Step Meeting List "legacy UI" works, but it's not a great experience especially for mobile users. it's better to be able to see the upcoming meetings at the top of the screen

however there are two ways you can accomplish this:

1. you can link to a specific day by linking to /meetings?weekday=monday eg https://aasanjose.org/meetings?weekday=monday
2. you can add the following javascript code to your embed:

     var tsml_react_config = {
       defaults: { weekday: ['1'] },
     };

you can replace the 1 in the example above with PHP code to make it dynamic: <?php echo date('w')?>

(this will use your server's time zone to determine the weekday, you may need to make sure that's set to your local tz)

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the suggestions. But I can't get them to work.

My website is custom php code. I installed wordpress and the tsml plugin in the document root directory. Unfortunately, I am not a wordpress or javascript programmer. I am self-taught in php, html, css, and some javascript to a sufficient extent to create and maintain our website.

The area41.org menu item "Meeting Locator" displays the tsml "Where's My Info?" public meetings page. But I do not know how to add our standard header, menu, and footer to that wordpress page.

So I created a custom php page with the code: echo '<div id="tsml-ui" data-src=" https://www.area41.org/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=meetings '" data-mapbox="pk.eyJ1IjoiYXJlYTQxd2VibWFzd.............." data-timezone="America/Chicago"

ah ok @iloveaaservice thanks for the additional context, i understand your question better now. unfortunately changing the data URL won't work, TSML UI needs to load all the meetings on initial load. could you set it back to loading all meetings and give us the link? i'd like to see how slow that is. i think most users are willing to accept a little bit of loading

we do have an appearance update coming shortly that should improve TSML UI's appearance in your Twenty Twenty Two theme

Hi Josh,

The url is testing.area41.org. It is htaccess protected. I added a login for you to use. Login is Josh-TSML and the password is thank54y0urHeLp. It is "y-zero-ur".

Page load time is usually about 5 seconds but can be longer.

This is my testing/development site so not everything is working and the code is full of debug statements. I commented the debug on the index.php and the newmeetinglist.php files so they display clean.

Again, thanks for your help.

Login is Josh-TSML and the password is thank54y0urHeLp.

couldn't get in with this. tried also "y-zero-ur" as the password

could you confirm?

[iloveaaservice]

Hi Josh,

Since the login and password were in plain text on the github discussion, I disabled it this morning. It should work again now. I guess I got impatient.

I am sorry. There must be a cached copy of the htpassword.

try login: sarahr

ok that works

loading doesn't seem that bad to me, json loaded in just over half a second (526ms). tried a few more times, 995, 1136, 1463, 1252, seemsl ike the average is around 1 second. i think most people would be ok with that!

with TSML UI on TSML we do actually have a static file cache that might help. could you create a new hidden page on your wp site and use the [tsml_ui] shortcode? we can see how fast that would be. i bet it's a little faster because PHP doesn't have to do any work

[iloveaaservice]

I went to our wordpress admin dashboard and created a new page. I selected the "shortcode" block and typed "[tsml-ui]", published the page, and viewed it. I saw "[tsml-ui]" displayed. I tried without the square brackets and the display is without the square brackets.

I am not sure what you mean by "a new hidden page" other than don't add it to the navigation menu.

As I said, I am not a wordpress developer.

[iloveaaservice]

That worked. Now what?

share the link to the page so we can compare how fast it loads?

[iloveaaservice]

It did load a little faster.

i hard-refreshed the page five times and got 721, 542, 602, 623, 520 (milliseconds) so it looks like it cuts the load time down by about half. you can remove this page now

this performance is what you can expect if you were to go into wordpress > meetings > settings and change the appearance to TSML UI, which is what we recommend and is inline with what other large optimized sites experience, eg https://aasanjose.org/meetings

if you wanted to move the meeting finder to a HTML / PHP page outside of wordpress you should be able to do it by using this embed code:

<div id="tsml-ui" data-src="/wordpress/wp-content/tsml-cache-423ffaf743.json" data-timezone="America/Chicago" data-mapbox="pk.eyJ1IjoiYXJlYTQxd2VibWFzdGVyIiwiYSI6ImNrbjR0azFqNjF1a2wyd284c3hicDdheTcifQ.d4oCa9rL2Ns3LdRMpS_tJg"></div>
<script src="https://tsml-ui.code4recovery.org/app.js" async></script>

at any rate, im going to close the issue, doesn't seem to be a bug or feature to add here. good luck!

[iloveaaservice]

Thank you for your time and help. I will try your suggestion.
