Crumb

Crumb is a lightweight WordPress plugin that embeds the Crumb Widget meeting finder on any page or post using a simple shortcode.

Features:

• List and map views with real-time search and filters
• Meeting detail with directions and virtual meeting join link
• Multi-language support
• Shareable per-meeting URLs

Usage

Add the shortcode to any page or post:

Override settings per page:

Shortcode attributes:

• server — BMLT server URL (overrides the value set in Settings → Crumb)
• service_body — Service body ID or comma-separated list; leave empty to show all meetings
• format_ids — Format ID or comma-separated list of BMLT format IDs to lock the widget to; leave empty to show all formats
• view — Default view when the widget loads: list (default), map, or both (map above list with no toggle); can also be overridden at runtime via the ?view= query parameter
• geolocation — Enable or disable geolocation for this page: true or false
• geolocation_radius — Geolocation search radius. Positive integer = fixed radius in miles (or km per server settings). Negative integer = BMLT auto-radius: the server expands the search until it finds roughly that many meetings (e.g. -50 finds ~50 nearby meetings). Overrides the Geolocation Radius setting and Widget Configuration.

External services

This plugin relies on two external services. Both are part of the BMLT (Basic Meeting List Toolkit) ecosystem — free, open-source tools built for Narcotics Anonymous service bodies (https://bmlt.app).

1. Crumb Widget CDN

The widget JavaScript is loaded from a CDN operated by the BMLT project.

• Service: cdn.aws.bmlt.app — delivers the Crumb Widget JavaScript file
• Purpose: Provides the JavaScript component that renders the meeting list interface
• Data sent: Standard HTTP request headers (IP address, browser user-agent, referring URL). No personal or meeting-search data is sent to the CDN.
• When: The script is loaded once per page load on any page that contains the [crumb] shortcode
• Privacy policy: https://crumb.bmlt.app/privacy.html
• Terms of use / License: https://github.com/bmlt-enabled/crumb-widget/blob/main/LICENSE

2. BMLT Server (meeting data)

The widget fetches meeting data from a BMLT server whose URL you configure in Settings → Crumb. This server is typically operated by a regional NA service body and is not a service operated by the Crumb project.

• Service: Your configured BMLT server (e.g. https://your-region.bmlt.app/main_server/)
• Purpose: Retrieve NA meeting listings (names, times, locations, formats) to display in the widget
• Data sent: Search query parameters (filters, keyword, selected formats). If geolocation is enabled and the user consents via a browser prompt, the user’s geographic coordinates are also sent to this server.
• When: On each search or filter action within the widget
• Privacy policy: Determined by the operator of your configured BMLT server. Learn more at https://bmlt.app.
