Hi,

What a cool module!!! Works perfect :)
I want to ask how to do a little adjustment so it works better on our dating site.

In the page block "Meetings In My Area" people get to see all the meetings in their city ( i think? ), not only the ones they match with. 
For example i'm a man and i'm not interested in a meeting where another man or woman seeks an woman for a meeting.
Can i set that somewhere that you only see the meetings that are interesting for you?

Also when a member shows interested in a meeting, the meetings admin doesn't get an notification in the spy module ( top menu bar ) . That would be also a improvement.
 
If an meeting is over ( the meeting date is expired ) does the meeting automatically disappears from the list?

@bellhophil - Expired Meetings disappear. Your other suggestions are noted.

Another great suggestion...

It would be very easy if you could link to your Places module for the location of a meeting. So when you start typing he checks of the location already exists. Just like on FB. If that's difficult maybe with a @?

Also now the meetings are ordered on the date they are created, but it would be better if they are ordered on date of the meeting.

Some updates have been made to the calendar browsing and listings are now listed based on meeting date. Re-upload the modules\modzzz\meeting\classes\BxMeetingModule.php folder.

Anyone else the problem that meetings aren't visible in the "meetings in my area" block on the account page?

 You  made this work on our old site. How can i make it like this again?

How can I change / add the meet types? It's not possible in the administration area. Maybe somewhere in a file or the database?

I also like to know how we can change __seeking_country_city__ in only displaying the city. So lose the state, country and flag behind it.

I tried to look at the shortcode 'seeking_country_city' => $this->_oMain->_formatLocation ($aData, false, true), based in BxMeetingTemplate.php but didn't find a solution to only show the city.

This is in the Predefined Lists. Login to Admin, go to Builders =>Predefined Values and look for "MeetType".

Replace the _formatLocation function with :

function _formatLocation (&$aDataEntry, $isCountryLink = false, $isFlag = false)
{
     return $aDataEntry['city'];
}

I get all kinds or errors in Dreamweaver when place this instead of the current _formatLocation.

Currently the whole line is:
'seeking_country_city' => $this->_oMain->_formatLocation ($aData, false, true),

In what do I need to change this... 

@bellhophil - You should not be changing that line. You should replace the actual function. The _formatLocation function is found in modules\modzzz\meeting\classes\BxMeetingModule.php . Also you should try to use a text editor such as TextPad, EditPlus, UltraEdit etc. As far as I am aware, Dreamweaver is more suitable for changing HTML files.

Thanks! It worked :)

Final question about the module...

In may 2014 I asked this already. In the "meetings in my area" block you get all the meetings in your area. But also the ones that have nothing to do with you. If you are a guy and you see also the meetings were people set that they looked for girls it's a waste of the space.

We like to show on default there only the ones that relate with your situation. For example...
I'm a guy and i see only the meetings where people look for males. (*)

I don't know if this is possible, but what also would be nice is that if you are in a relation you see the meetings were people look for couples automatically in that block. And if you set in your profile that you are a guy and you like girls you don't see meetings of guys looking for guys. (**)

* = very important for our site. ( waiting a long time on it )
** = not critical for our site now, but if it's possible with a few adjustments that we could do, we like it.

@bellhophil - Such functionality does not exist in the module. I may possibly add it when I am doing another revision of the module. If its a significant need for your site that you need urgently you will have to get it done as a custom job.

A language string update has been made to the module. The following file has been affected ... modules\modzzz\meeting\templates\base\wall_outline_extra_info.html

Version 2.0.5 released. (see patches/version_2.0.5 folder)

Miscellaneous adjustments made.

Version 2.0.6 released. (see patches/version_2.0.6 folder)

Added "looking for" options to predefined list and also made embedding videos optional.

Does this mean we can set that you see ( as default, without changing in the Search Meet Requests ) only the meetings from the gender you are looking for?

BTW Great addition that you the meet requests are added to spy :) Than we can place them in the EvoWall with some customization.. 

In your update ( 2.0.5 ) from today was said that you "added meeting requests to Spy". But when I updated the module with the latest version ( 2.0.6 ) also from today there isn't much changed in the Spy module I think.

I assumed that you added the possibility that when a friend created an meeting you see that in Spy. "... Created the following meeting ..." for example.

Maybe I understand it wrong or have the wrong idea of it. Can you explain what is added to Spy?

All the regular events are added to spy (add, change, join etc.)

No, "Looking for" has been added to predefined list so the site administrator has great flexibility in defining these. The options are not limited to basic gender types so different sites can use this in different ways. Tying "Looking for" to basic gender types severely limits the flexibility of the mod. If you want to do that you will have to get it done specifically for your site.

Strange... The change the meeting was already working. But we see no "add" spy notification. Did you add that Yesterday? I see that he was updated on 18-01-2015 but the version number is still 2.0.6

An update was made to solve an issue in the outline. The following file is updated.

modules/modzzz/meeting/classes/BxMeetingModule.php

On the main meeting page we like to place the complete form to add a meeting instead of the form that's default there which links to the add meeting page.  I searched the code but did not find a simple way.

We placed the code __form__ in create_meeting.html ( just like my_meeting_create_meeting.html ) but it isn't showing the form there.

Which code do we need to place in BxMeetingPageMain.php, BxMeetingModule.php or BxMeetingTemplate.php to connect with the form and show it in that block?

 This is a custom job requirement.

Already solved it.

Is there a way to pull only the thumb / avatar url?

Now there's this code:
$sOwnerThumb = $GLOBALS['oFunctions']->getMemberThumbnail($aAuthor['ID'], 'left');

And it pulls the avatar and places it in thumbnail_block, thumbnail_image div's etc. We want to pull the url only to include it as background of a div.

The getMemberThumbnail function is used throughout Dolphin to return the thumbnail for a member. It does not have any way to return just the URL. You would have to get it customized to achieve that.

If it's that difficult J shall just use the regular Dolphin thumbnail code...

 Code snippet to get URL for Member Icon (the small one) :

        $aProfile = getProfileInfo($iProfileId);
        bx_import('BxDolMemberInfo');
        $o = BxDolMemberInfo::getObjectInstance('sys_member_info_thumb_icon');
        $sThumbUrl = $o ? $o->get($aProfile) : '';

 
Code snippet  to get URL for Member Thumbnail :

        $aProfile = getProfileInfo($iProfileId);
        bx_import('BxDolMemberInfo');
        $o = BxDolMemberInfo::getObjectInstance('sys_member_info_thumb');
        $sThumbUrl = $o ? $o->get($aProfile) : '';
 

When I tried to add the code it loads nothing. Because we want to load the authors thumbnail ( of a meeting ) we adjusted the code a little to see if that makes any difference .

Below the code we now have placed online:

$aAuthor = getProfileInfo($aData['author_id']); 

bx_import('BxDolMemberInfo');
$o = BxDolMemberInfo::getObjectInstance('sys_member_info_thumb');
$sOwnerThumb = $o ? $o->get($aAuthor) : '';

$aVars = array (
'heavndatethumbnail' => $sOwnerThumb, 

   This should be :

   $o = BxDolMemberInfo::getObjectInstance(getParam('sys_member_info_thumb'));

Thanks! Now it's working...

This module is now compatible with Dolphin 7.2 . For those upgrading from Dolphin 7.1, please check the upgrade folder for instructions.

I just upgraded the Meeting module from 2.0.4 to 2.0.6 and now have the field "Looking To Meet" missing on the ADD MEETING form.

I uploaded the module files, Ran sqlupdate from 2.0.5 and then 2.0.6, then recompiled.

I also noticed that in the main Meeting home page, that the search box has a dropdown "Meet Who" and it does not populate at all.

Running 7.1.6

I checked the sqlupdate for 2.0.6, and saw the section for setting up the predefined list "MeetLookingFor"

However, it does not appear in the Predefined lists within the Admin panel, and when I click on add new, and type in the name MeetLookingFor, all the values show in the screen. So I go ahead and click on save, and it errors with "Failed to apply changes".

Any Suggestions? All the language keys are present for each of the values in the predefined list, but the list does not show up in the Predefined Values, and neither the search forms nor the Add forms populate or show

@richmanfl - Did you clear cache after running the sqlupdate.php ?

Cache was cleared each time.

1) Manually clear your cache folder.

2) Run the following queries in your phpmyadmin to reverse the entries made :

    DELETE FROM `sys_options` WHERE `Name`='modzzz_meeting_allow_embed';
    DELETE FROM `sys_pre_values` WHERE `Key`='MeetLookingFor';

3) Apply patch 2.0.6 again

4) Manually clear your cache folder again.

5) If you are still having issues, I will need access to your site to try and figure out the cause.

Initial attempt did not work, manually removed values, and then applied patch. All is working now. You are good!

 Ok great, thank you.
