Hi All,
I have set up an event custom field of 'Virtual Link' so Teams/Zoom links can be added to a seminar event.
I am struggling with how to include this custom field in a V16 'Booking confirmation' notification.
I have tried adding the custom field shortname of 'virtual' to the following language string but it didn't work: notification_placeholder_event_all_sessions_layout
[#sessions] [session:virtual] [/sessions]
Is there a recommended approach for this, please?
Thank you
Olivia
Hi Olivia
Can you confirm if you have setup Zoom or Teams as a virtual room provider if you have then you shouldn't need a custom field for the virtual room link - the join now button should appear 15 minutes before the meeting start time when the user accesses the event.
Alternatively you can add a virtual room using a custom link
Regards
Thanks so much, Craig.
We're not going down the Teams virtual room provider route for the moment.
Using your alternative suggestion, I have created a virtual room using a custom link. How can I now use a placeholder in V16 Notifications so the link appears in notifications so users can directly access the Teams event, please? I can still not see an option in the list of placeholders for rooms.
Thanks again
Olivia
Hi Olivia
Did you ever get this sorted as i find myself with a V13 custom webinar link [session:webinarlink] that i cannot locate a placeholder for in V16 notifications. Worked fine in V13 however now in V16 and looking to transition and cannot locate how
Thank you
Jo
Event Custom Field support was added in v18 (TL-36848 I believe, although I can't seem to find that in release notes): https://totara.community/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27267#p105834
