Why is google map taken out from Venue? I mean, Google Map is like an essential feature in any event site, what’s the reason that there is no direct way to display a google map in EE now? I saw that it was there before and that’s why I purchased the developer license just to find that this basic feature is not there… | |
Hi Roll, I’m sorry for the confusion. Had you read somewhere that the Google maps was removed? I can assue you it has not been removed. If you add a venue into the venue manager and enter an address that Google maps recognizes, you can make the map display in either of these two ways: 1) You can place the [ESPRESSO_VENUE] shortcode in the event editor. This will display the map image on the registration page. More info here: http://staging.eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#venue -or- 2) You can set “Display the address in the registration form?” to Yes in Event Espresso>Template settings. This will display a link to the location on maps.google.com more information here: | |
But 2) won’t display an image right? and in case I use 1) there will be double venue presented. | |
That’s correct. By default option two displays a link to the page on Google maps. If you use option #1, we recommend setting “Display the address in the registration form?” to No. You’ll notice that it says just below that option: “Disable the address if you are using the venue manager shortcodes in your event description.” | |
