We are changing a few settings with our newsletter to distribute upon the release of a new post, instead of a weekly digest. Since it is the beginning of the semester, we tend to have some vital information that needs to be shared more frequently. If this becomes too much of a nuisance, please let us know. We want this do be more of a helpful resource than a burden.
And on to the topic at hand …
We have entered most of the addresses for all locations on campus which will display a map within the event. However, you may want to provide a map to an off campus location to encourage users to attend the event.
The best way we have found to accomplish this is to:
- locate the location using Google Maps
- select share
- select the HTML view of the event editing window
- embed the provided code into the “Description” field within the event.
For a consistent user experience throughout the calendar, we’ll tweak the width in the embed code from 600px to 100% and change the height from 450px to 300px.
For a working example, see the Women’s basketball vs NC State event.
