TOPIC:

These are certainly challenging times that we all find ourselves in.

I recognize that many TM clubs have transitioned to virtual/online meetings to sustain their clubs. In recognition of this, I have added db storage and code support for saving a URL / web page address with each Meeting Venue, if you are using that feature. NOTE: I threw this together quickly, so bear in mind that I do not have any checks currently in place to verify that you actually entered a valid URL--be careful what you enter. (I will add the checks later.)

(The following is the agenda email--I realize some of you want this in the Send Basic Email tool also... bear w/ me.)

Thank you so much for this! This makes meetings a bit more attractive to members who were unsure about staying, leaving or joining. Stay Safe!

Thanks, Steve!

I noticed you only referenced the agenda variable and I'm not having success getting the URL to show up on my webpage. Can that be added to the wishlist?

Thanks!

Thx... Fixed!

Thank you, Steve!
This feature is very much appreciated!

This is a great. I just want to confirm that the link does not go out when the Agenda is sent via email, therefore, people will have to log into the club website then select the agenda then click the link?

The link is in the emailed agenda if you choose the option to include Meeting Venue information in the emailed agenda.

Great!

Thank you.

Can you tell me where is that option? I just sent the Agenda but the link was not included. I attached some screen shots of the agenda with the link and the email that does not show it?

It is in the options for the Agenda Email (the compose dialog) when you send it.

Steve,

Thank you very much!

This is great.

User doc for Meeting Venues feature has been drafted:

support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/meeting-venues

(Let us know if you cannot access from the above link...sometimes we need to tweak the permissions for docs for public access.)

So cool!!!! Thank you. You are amazing!!

Great feature. Could this option be included in the list to add to a printed agenda as well please? I need to be able to do that. Thanks!

Already is on the printed FTH agenda

Hello. No its not, that I can see. The venue is available as an option in an emailed agenda, but not the printed agenda. I have attached a capture to show you what I am seeing. Thanks.

You are correct, what use is a link on a printed agenda?
As it is on the email agenda that can be forwarded there is no reason to have it on the printed agenda.

Hello. We prefer to print the agenda to PDF and email as an attachment to members and guests - its more polished and our VMM and VPPR prefer to manage communication to guests that way. Also, its not just about a link. If we are meeting at a physical venue (down the track), guests who have never been to the club location have a handy reference to print and bring with then. A PDF is usually much easier to print than an email. In these times where we are really having problems keeping out club viable and getting interest from guests and potential members, we believe this is a more professional way of communicating. Is it not reasonable to ask for the same information options available on a printed agenda as an emailed agenda?
