Once embedded, Salsa Press keeps theses embeds up-to-date with any changes made in Salsa, meaning you can embed them and continue to manage and tweak the content in Salsa afterwards. [Please post all issues on Github](https://github.com/BusProject/SalsaPress/issues/) not WordPress. Full features include: * Sign Up Form Widget * Coming Events Widget * Event Sign Up Form Widget * Petitions Widget * Embeddable Reports, Sign Up Forms, Events, and Petitions * Filtering of Salsa Data by Chapter * Filtering of Events by Template * Translatable – including strings from Salsa like field names Funding for the development of this plugin is provided by [Kampaweb](http://www.kampaweb.ch/) and [Bus Federation](http://busfederation.com). With open source development by [Lukas Zurschmiede](https://github.com/LukyLuke), [Dave Hall](https://d-g-h.co/), [Ben Byrne](http://cornershopcreative.com/), and [iCasper](http://caspar.green). All Salsa accounts can use Salsa’s API — no activation is required. First-time users may want to go to [this page](https://salsasupport.zendesk.com/entries/23514381-Definitions-for-common-terms) in Salsa’s documentation to learn how to retrieve the API hostname that Salsa Press needs. If you have questions about this document, or Salsa in general, please do contact [Salsa Support](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/salsa-press/support@salsalabs.com?output_format=md). ### GitHub Repo [Fork me!](https://github.com/BusProject/SalsaPress) ### Acknowledgements * Big shout out to [WP-Jalapeno](http://www.wpjalapeno.com/) by [New Signature](http://www.newsignature.com/) for the initial inspiration * The tool also uses [Simple HTML DOM Library](http://sourceforge.net/projects/simplehtmldom/) by S.C.

Older Salsa accounts should just work – newer account may need salsa to activate their API credentials or something. They should do this for free if you contact [support@salsalabs.com](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/salsa-press/support@salsalabs.com?output_format=md) and request it. ## FAQ Do I need to Have Salsa to Use This Plugin Yes… How do I find my Base URL 1. Log into Salsa 2. Look at your URL 3. Clear off any of the crap at the beginning (http, hq-, etc) and the anything after the .org or .com. There you have it. It’s not working but it’s telling me I’m authenticated Older Salsa accounts should just work – newer account may need salsa to activate their API credentials or something. They should do this for free if you contact [support@salsalabs.com](https://scn.wordpress.org/plugins/salsa-press/support@salsalabs.com?output_format=md) and request it. When you contact Salsa support you should mention that it’s pretty messed up that the /api/authenticate.sjs endpoint returns “success” for customers that aren’t allowed to use the rest of the API and that an error message on that endpoint – or heck even just a normal authentication failure – would be so much better. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SalsaPress” is open source software.
