BMLT WordPress Plugin free WordPress plugin

The Basic Meeting List Toolbox (BMLT) is a powerful client/server system for locating NA meetings. The “root server” is a standalone Web site, but “satellite servers” are set up to point to the “root.” This is a “satellite,” set up as a WordPress plugin. It is very easy to install and use. It has an administration panel that lets you choose a map center, designate the root, set up the map zoom, and whether or not older browsers are supported.

New Italian Translation. Fixed a bug in the admin screen where it was possible to cause problems with translated strings containing apostrophes. **Version 3.9.0 ** *- December 31, 2017 Fixed a minor style issue in the GreenAndGold theme. Added the ability to select an “Auto Radius” density. This is for the map search, and affects how many meetings are determined to be enough to satisfy an “auto radius” search. **Version 3.8.3 ** – November 17, 2017 This has a fix for the reported user agent in the cURL call. Some servers were blocking AJAX calls because security. Added an icon and banner image. **Version 3.8.2 ** – October 8, 2017 The “fix” in 3.8.1 broke certain other installations. That should be fixed here. **Version 3.8.1 ** – October 8, 2017 The 3.7.1 version had an anonymous function pointer that caused some LAMP servers to puke (They shouldn’t). It is no longer anonymous, and that should fix it. **Version 3.8.0 ** – October 8, 2017 Added support for making the default [[bmlt]] shortcode more responsive. **Version 3.7.1 ** – September 24, 2017 Fixes two bugs: 1) Certain non-Roman character sets could fail text match searches, and 2) result sets of no format codes could be counted as empty. **Version 3.7.0 ** – September 24, 2017 Added Spanish translation -FINALLY! Thanks, Costa Rica! **Version 3.6.2 ** – September 21, 2017 I now avoid outputting BMLT head content unless I am in a page that features it. This fixes an issue where the mobile client was not displaying its CSS. **Version 3.6.1 ** – September 19, 2017 There was a bug introduced by the previous release. The standard [[BMLT]] shortcode’s images were not displayed. **Version 3.6.0 ** – September 18, 2017 Added the [[BMLT_QUICKSEARCH]] shortcode. Optimized the styles and Javascript. **Version 3.5.2 ** – September 11, 2017 There is, apparently, an “11” at the end of the WordPress security dial, and some sites turn it all the way to that. This should handle that. **Version 3.5.1 ** – September 11, 2017 Apparently, WordPress has gone full-tinfoil, so I can’t use my include optimizers anymore. I release with debug mode on. This also redoes the way in which localization is done. **Version 3.5.0 ** – September 10, 2017 Added the capability to have different localizations apply to different settings. Rearranged the order of fields in the Admin Page to group localization functions better. Fixed a couple of minor issues with the [[simple_search_list]] shortcode. **Version 3.4.7 ** – June 17, 2017 Added a workaround for nonstandard SSL. **Version 3.4.6 ** – May 18, 2017 Added support for a per-setting Region bias. **Version 3.4.5 ** – March 17, 2017 Added empty “index.php” files to all the directories to prevent listing. **Version 3.4.4 ** – March 12, 2017 Added a fix to the [[BMLT_TABLE]] shortcode that ensures that empty columns in the table get non-breaking spaces if the value is empty. **Version 3.4.3 ** – January 1, 2017 Added the “GNYR2” theme. Fixed a bug in the fast table display, where venue names were not being displayed. Couple of minor tweaks in the Google API includes. Probably makes no difference. **Version 3.4.1 ** – November 6, 2016 There was one more place in the mobile implementation that needed the key. There was an error in the JavaScript in the mobile shortcode. **Version 3.4.0 ** -October 16, 2016 Reintroduced support for the Google API Key. WARNING: Google API Keys are now REQUIRED. **Version 3.3.9 ** -May 22, 2016 Now detect escape key to close meeting details overlay. The mobile JS file was importing a non-HTTPS Google Maps API. I changed this to use the HTTPS version. **Version 3.3.8 ** – May 7, 2016 Removed the no-longer-useful update notifier. Fixed an issue where the localization was not being properly detected. **Version 3.3.7 ** – May 2, 2016 Updated the README to better work with BitBucket (If I decide to store this there). Added Doxygen documentation. **Version 3.3.6 ** – April 20, 2016 Updated the readme file to reflect the current plugin state. Removed out-of-date screengrabs. Fixed a bug, in which the proper throbber was not being displayed where multiple themes are on the same page for the bmlt_table shortcode. The standard [[bmlt]] search single meeting results now have a grayed out background, and clicking anywhere outside the details will dismiss the dialog. **Version 3.3.3 ** – April 9, 2016 Fixed a bug that could bork the [[bmlt_table]] shortcode when there are no parameters specified. **Version 3.3.2 ** – April 9, 2016 Added a “Breaker Div” to the end of the meeting list. Work on improving code quality. Added more style hooks to the [[bmlt_table]] shortcode display. Fixed a minor bug in the [[bmlt_table]] and [[bmlt_simple]] shortcodes, where supplying just a settings ID would be ignored. **Version 3.3.1 ** – April 6, 2016 Made the weekday tab overflow hidden. The format circles now float to the right. Added a display for days with no meetings. Fixed a bug in the [[bmlt_table]] shortcode, where the loading throbber would get replaced too quickly when selecting weekday tabs. Corrected a bug that allowed “00:00” times (should be “Midnight”). Fixed a bug in the “simple map search” that displayed the info windows offset. **Version 3.3.0 ** – April 4, 2016 Made it so that we can have specialized themes, amied at only certain shortcodes. Major rewrite of the [[bmlt_table]] shortcode to improve responsive design. **Version 3.2.4 ** – April 1, 2016 (Happy April Fools’!) Broke the table styling out into separate files that are all loaded at once. This allows a lot more flexibility when implementing the table display. Tweaked the GNYR style. The JavaScript had a fundamental error that prevented multiple instances of the table. That’s been fixed. **Version 3.2.3 ** – March 30, 2016 Got rid of an undeclared variable warning. Fixed a bug that caused rendering issues with the new table shortcode on Internet Exploder. Fixed a minor style issue, where the selection triangle would flow below the text in large text situations. Changed the styling for the selected header triangle to make the table display a bit more responsive. **Version 3.2.2 ** – March 29, 2016 Fixed a style problem with the default search, where the map and text might be outdented by 8 pixels. Fixed the “Google Maps included two or more times” warning. Removed unnecessary new search and duration items from admin page.

Adding better support for SSL/HTTPS. **Version 3.0.29 ** – January 10, 2016 Added support for a runtime language selector as a cookie. If you set a cookie named “bmlt_lang_selector,” and set its simple string value to an ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2 SUPPORTED language, that will select the client language. **Version 3.0.28 ** – August 15, 2015 Added Portuguese Translation. **Version 3.0.27 ** – May 25, 2015 Updated the base class (CSS fixes, mostly). **Version 3.0.26 ** – January 31, 2015 Fixed an issue with the extra fields display in the regular shortcode display details. Fixed an issue where the arbitrary fields were actually creating too many results. Now hide the distance_in_km/miles parameters in the meeting details (these are internal parameters). **Version 3.0.25 ** – November 23, 2014 Added a meta tag with the Root Server URI for troubleshooting. Added full support for arbitrary fields. This was an important capability that was left out after Version 3.X Fixed a CSS issue with the admin display map. Some themes (especially responsive ones) declare a global max-width for images. This hoses Google Maps, and has to be compensated for. **Version 3.0.24 ** – July 31, 2014 Added a user-agent to cURL, which allows the root server to be a bit more tinfoil. Fixed an annoying bug with the admin, in which new settings reported a bogus ID first time through. **Version 3.0.23 ** – July 17, 2014 Added Danish localization. Fixed a small bug in the administration. **Version 3.0.21 ** – February 23, 2014 This adds fixes for servers that run on non-standard TCP ports. **Version 3.0.20 ** – December 7, 2013 Fixed a character set issue that affected some instances of Internet Explorer. **Version 3.0.19 ** – December 7, 2013 Added French localization. **Version 3.0.18 ** – September 7, 2013 Tweaked the German localization slightly Fixed some JavaScript issues with the [[bmlt_mobile]] shortcode. **Version 3.0.17 ** – July 1, 2013 Fixed a couple of localization bugs in the German localization.

Fixed an issue with CSS that caused displayed maps to get funky. **Version 3.0.10 ** – May 5, 2013 Fixed an issue, where the first set of results from a search would display too many red icons on the map. **Version 3.0.8 ** – April 28, 2013 Added support for display of military time. **Version 3.0.7 ** – April 21, 2013 Fixed localization issues with string searches. **Version 3.0.5 ** – April 16, 2013 There was a bug in the Swedish translation. Also, the language is now auto-detected from the blog. **Version 3.0.4 ** – April 15, 2013 Fixed a bug caused by work on the root server.

NOTE: DON’T UPGRADE UNTIL YOU ARE READY! This is a MAJOR change in styling and behavior. **Version 2.1.29 ** – May 13, 2012 Fixed an old bug, where empty settings would be accidentally created. **Version 2.1.28 ** – April 26, 2012 Added some JavaScript “hooks” to allow robust customization of the new map search. **Version 2.1.27 ** – March 28, 2012 Added an alert to the new map search, if no meetings were found (originally gave no feedback). **Version 2.1.26 ** – December 31, 2011 Added the ability to localize the plugin. Fixed some validation issues. Now strip out the [[bmlt_mobile]] shortcode if the page is not a mobile page. This allows the shortcode to be used, as the comment version is stripped by “code cleaners.” **Version 2.1.25 ** – September 2, 2011 Fixes an Internet Explorer JavaScript bug in the new map search. **Version 2.1.24 ** – August 17, 2011 Improves some of the styles in the info windows in the new map search. **Version 2.1.23 ** – August 16, 2011 Addresses a bug in Mozilla Firefox, that prevents the use of the popup menus in the multi-day (red) map icons. **Version 2.1.22 ** – August 12, 2011 Fixes a couple of theme/style bugs. Mitigates a very strange Firefox bug, where blank pages were being called when closing the location area. **Version 2.1.21 ** – August 8, 2011 This implements a powerful new shortcode: “bmlt_map” **Version 2.1.20 ** – July 16, 2011 This removes a few warnings that could come up in really anal-retentive environments. **Version 2.1.19 ** – June 27, 2011 This adds the new “bmlt_changes” shortcode. This is the first fruit of the new structure. **Version 2.1.18 ** – June 20, 2011 Fixed an “invisible” bug in the standard header output, which could interfere with the correct settings being selected. Changed the structure to use the new one that allows the shared projects to be “nested” more easily. **Version 2.1.17 ** – June 14, 2011 Added the location text and comments to the meeting info displays in mobile mode. **Version 2.1.16 ** – May 24, 2011 Moved the AJAX handler to the “init” phase, as ‘wp’ seemed to wait a bit too long. Added the capability to display a changelist in the upgrade notice -very cool! Added a settings link to the plugin listing. **Version 2.1.15 ** – May 22, 2011 Fixed a very strange bug that seems to cause error 500s on some servers. Not sure why the fix worked, but it does. This only manifested when doing an “address only” search in mobile mode. **Version 2.1.14 ** – May 18, 2011 Fixed a bug that prevents the “More Details” window from being shown. **Version 2.1.13 ** – May 16, 2011 Fixed a minor bug that prevented the popup menu and the classic interactive search from being displayed on the same page (this is OK to happen). **Version 2.1.12 ** – May 8, 2011 Fixed an error that interfered with several Advanced Search options. **Version 2.1.11 ** – May 7, 2011 Fixed a JavaScript error that prevented saves. **Version 2.1.10 ** – May 6, 2011 Added changes to the cross-CMS class and styling for the Drupal module. Won’t have much effect on WordPress. **Version 2.1.9 ** – May 3, 2011 Fixed a few issues encountered while implementing the Drupal plugin (a lot of the code is cross-CMS). Added GPL headers to everything. **Version 2.1.8 ** – April 28, 2011 Fixed a bug, in which the bmlt_mobile shortcode was not being interpreted properly (Affected WordPress only). **Version 2.1.7 ** – April 26, 2011 Fixed a rather severe bug in the shortcode substitution, that prevented multiple shortcodes from working on the same page. **Version 2.1.6 ** – April 24, 2011 Basic code cleanup. Fixed a couple of minor cosmetic bugs in the admin JavaScript and CSS. **Version 2.1.5 ** – April 23, 2011 Oops. One more warning-spitter snuck through. It’s fixed. **Version 2.1.4 ** – April 23, 2011 Fixed a minor JS bug in the option submit. It did not result in errors, per se, but caused extra text to be transmitted. **Version 2.1.3 ** – April 21, 2011 Addressed some issues that could cause problems on some servers (a screwy intval() implementation). Made the save settings use POST, as the size of the transaction can be too large for GET, when you have a lot of settings. **Version 2.1.2 ** – April 20, 2011 Fixed some warnings that interfered with the operation of 2.1.1 **Version 2.1.1 ** – April 20, 2011 Sequestered the mobile stuff into a fieldset in the admin. Added the ability to set the mobile “grace period,” as well as specify a mobile offset from the server. Added a number of fixes and adjustments as we debugged the Joomla plugin. **Version 2.1 ** – April 11, 2011 Significant refactoring to make it easier to port the plugin to other CMSes. Added the ability to select distance units (Km or Mi). This will only affect the mobile handler (at the moment). Added the ability to project a language, via the original interactive search (You can select a different language from the server’s default). **Version 2.0.2 ** – March 3, 2011 Fixed a critical problem that appeared in 2.0.1 because of a silly error on the coders’ part. **Version 2.0.1 ** – March 3, 2011 Fixed a JavaScript issue that prevented the options from being displayed in Firefox. Added null parameters to some get_page() calls to prevent warnings. **Version 2.0.0 ** – February 21, 2011 Release. Added the GNYR theme to the release. **Version 2.0.0RC1 ** – February 20, 2011 Fixed a number of issues encountered during beta testing. **Version 2.0.0B0 ** – February 14, 2011 Major rewrite. You can now have multiple settings, which can include different servers. You can “theme” the displays. We no longer support non-JS browsers. Mobile content has been woven into the plugin. It now allows the page to be replaced with the fast mobile lookup, if that was requested. The administration has been drastically improved. This provides an infrastructure for many future improvements. The 2.0 release was aimed primarily at transitioning from the old system into the new. **Version 1.5.12 ** – October 2, 2010 Very, very minor change to a text display to make the plugin easier to localize. Changed the CSS so that the plugin will adapt more efficiently to different environments. **Version 1.5.11 ** – September 18, 2010 Added support for some new initial screen modes. **Version 1.5.10 ** – September 4, 2010 Added a bit of default CSS to make the search specification screen more adaptable. **Version 1.5.9 ** – August 30, 2010 Make sure that all cURL calls are GET, as some servers don’t like POST. **Version 1.5.8 ** – July 23, 2010 Added support for a readable-text meta tag entry ([[BMLT]]). **Version 1.5.7 ** – July 1, 2010 Stopped the plugin from croaking the whole shooting match if call_curl fails (Wrap in empty try block). **Version 1.5.6 ** – June 1, 2010 Made it so that lookups for individual meetings don’t get redirected to the root server. **Version 1.5.5 ** – May 30, 2010 Added JS and Style optimizers for the linked files. Fixed a bug in the new selector. **Version 1.5.4 ** – May 29, 2010 Embedded the simple search feature into the plugin. **Version 1.5.3 ** – May 28, 2010 Added provision to allow the CMS direct access to the simple dump. **Version 1.5.2 ** – April 23, 2010 Fixed an old bug that could affect the way the server interaction works (curl). **Version 1.5.1 ** – April 23, 2010 Added some code to ensure the root server URI has a trailing slash. **Version 1.5 ** – April 2, 2010 Added support for the “simple” inline meeting tables. **Version 1.4.2 ** – February 21, 2010 Execute the PDF check earlier, as other plugins can interfere. **Version 1.4.1 ** – February 16, 2010 Added support for Android **Version 1.4 ** – February 14, 2010 Added support for iPhone Fixed a minor issue with the cURL caller. **Version 1.2.19 ** – December 30, 2009 Added the ability to switch on a “push in” method of viewing the “More Details” window. Added the ability for the admin to insert arbitrary CSS styles. **Version 1.2.18 ** – November 24, 2009 Added a section of documentation for administration.

This function requires that the root server also be version 1.2.3. **Version 1.0.2 ** – July 20, 2009 PHP 5.2.10 seems to be expecting a slightly different interpretation of explode(), so it is now simpler. **Version 1.0.1 ** – June 25, 2009 Made the inter-server communications use POST, which makes it a bit more robust.
