  6. If the class is to be displayed on an e-Business website is a meeting type class, the ShowMeetingsLinkToClass attribute in the Aptify_UC_Navigation.config file must be set to True. This attribute is set to False by default, which means that meetings linked to the class will not show up in the Meetings Center or meeting calendar, and the relevant meeting information only appears in the Class Schedule within the Education Center. Setting this attribute to True enables meetings associated with the class to appear as browseable entries in the Meetings Center and calendar. See the "Making Changes to the User Control Web Config File" section in the Working with an e-Business Site chapter of the Aptify e-Business 5.5 Developer Guide for more information on updating the Aptify_UC_Navigation.config file.
