Meetup Widgets

For use with a Meetup.com group.

This plugin creates two widgets: one a list of events from a meetup group (by ID or URL name, for multiple groups use IDs); the other shows details about single event (by ID) with a link to RSVP – using OAuth if keys are specified, otherwise just a link to the event on meetup.com. Does require at least an API key (which it asks for on the settings page).

1. Extract meetup-widgets.zip to meetup-widgets & Upload that folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Set up your API key (and optional OAuth key & secret) in your General Settings screen.
4. Use your new widgets!

How do I find my API key?

Log in to your Meetup.com account, then visit the Getting an API Key page.

How do I find my OAuth key & secret?

You’ll need to create an OAuth consumer for your website. Visit Your OAuth Consumers for more information & to get started.

How do I find my event ID?

It’s in the event page’s URL: http://www.meetup.com/[group ID]/events/[event ID]/

How do I find my group ID?

If your meetup group is set up at meetup.com/[group URL name], the part after meetup.com/ is one of your group identifiers (the URL name). The other possible identifier is your group’s ID number.
