UPDATED FEATURE: Can Save More URLs for Meeting Venues

1) I have updated the Meeting Venues feature to allow explicitly specifying a webpage address/URL for an online meeting (e.g. Zoom) in addition to the Meeting Info URL / Web page address.  I have modified the names of the corresponding web page variable for this and replaced the old variable names in the database.  I tried to identify likely online meeting URLs in the old field and move them to the new online meeting URL field, but I may have missed a few of those.   If you have used the Meeting Venue URL field in the past, I do encourage you to inspect that information for your meeting venues to ensure that everything is as you expect.

2) I have added a new field for the Meeting Venues (Alt Map URL) to allow explicitly specifying a map url rather than just having the system figure it out from the physical address entered.  This alternate will be used instead if it is specified.

Steve,

This addition is awesome, and will help me in particular to quickly join one of our hybrid meetings online. However, I'm having trouble making it work. Our links (Microsoft Teams) are really long, and while they save just fine into the Online Meeting Address field, when it is on the agenda page, it appears to be truncated--and then, sure enough, when I go back to edit the agenda again, I find it truncated there as well. here's a link to the agenda I've been trying to use....

P. S.

The url I'm trying to use is 243 characters; but the url that ultimately gets stored is 100 characters.

Ok, I increased the storage to 250 characters, but you should be trying to figure out a way to use a shorter URL, also for your member's sake. 

Additionally, the longer URL might mess up the HTML formatting ... I have made a few tweaks to the styling to try to accommodate longer URLs, but I cannot make any promises about how it will look.

I use Tinyurl for this. Our Zoom address wasn't getting truncated but I wanted to clean up the top of the agenda with a shorter address that didn't wrap.
You can set a custom name for the tinyurl so the address appears as 

Steve, since the update our website shows an error when loading the 'Meeting Info' screen.  The error only occurs when the variable {{nextmtgvenuephoto}} is present. If I remove it, there's no error.
