The “Event Location” box

  • Hello,
    Could you explain the purpose of the separate “Event Location” field in the configuration screen for an event? In other words, there is already a “Description” box …what is the purpose (from a software perspective) of having a separate “Event Location” box? Lately it seems that box is a bit confusing because during the pandemic many events have been held on zoom so people are often confused as to whether to put all the zoom information in the “Description” box or in the “Location” box. Thanks.

    Patrick

    Sorry, I didn’t see this question earlier. Sometimes I don’t get the email notification for new posts!

    The location field was added by request. If you don’t use it, it won’t show up in the event listing on the front end. It would make sense to me to put zoom information there but it is certainly up to you how to use it. It is just a text area.

    Ok, thanks, I suspected that…
    I think most of my users just find it to be a cause of confusion; they don’t know what to make of it. It’s especially confusing now that so many meetings are on zoom. So I think I’ll just remove it (in a special build) and that will take care of it.

    Thanks again for this outstanding plugin!!!
