Revision as of 09:47, 2 June 2021
In MWP 3.10, we are having difficulty getting custom variables to be replaced. we use 4 separate custom variables and they appear to be defined correctly:
[session:location] [session:venue] [session:room] [session:join]
They ARE working in when you click the "details" button in the session booking
This feels like a bug to me and we have an urgent need to get this functional. None of the joining instructions come across to the user (either in the email body or the ICS).
We also think that this is a bit spammy WRT to notifications. Multiple emails are sent to a user, which could be better streamlined. Ther is a "notification type" dropdown selection box available to a user, however, this can be easily overlooked. ICS only seem like the most sensible, however for multiple sessions, it would be far better to include multiple ICS attachments in a single email.
Finally, a feature request.
The idea of custom fields is good, however, not all sessions will likely use all custom fields, so the ability to disable/enable them per session would be useful. This would allow us to define some fields to provide defaults for online events and other fields for in-person events.
