Well, the address should be linked and go to Google Maps now.... are you thinking of something different?

I am thinking instead of showing the whole address, maybe just the restaurant name and have that go to Google Doc's

Ok, I see what you mean. Do you think that showing the address has little value?

I think showing the name of said place of meeting means more and then having that possibly link to Google doc's

Or even an image of the venue or whatever a person places there to show....

I have a question on another issue a fellow member brought up to me...

You know that blue bar at the top of the screen with Toastmasters in there... He suggested, instead of showing the blue bar, maybe having a smaller image, with Toastmasters inside... Such, is it possible to just a third of the line? I guess he is right... It does take a lot of color

Cannot change that... It is what was approved by TM WHQ Marketing department. They actually wanted it to be a bit bigger...

(Back to the topic of this thread.)

The new {{nextmtgvenuemap}} and {{nextmtgvenuephoto}} variables return an iframe and a photo image, respectively, that will take up 100% of the available width, by default.

I realize that you may not want it to be 100%, so here is how to deal with this...

What you do is put these variables in a "<div>...</div>" block via the editor's Source View.... For example:

1. To make the Google Map be half of the available width, insert
   Code:

   <div style="width:50%">{{nextmtgvenuemap}}</div>
   in Source View.


2. To make the venue photo be half of the available width, insert
   Code:

   <div style="width:50%">{{nextmtgvenuephoto}}</div>
   in Source View.

Doing this allows you to override the default 100% that is used in the HTML elements that the code replaces the variables with.
