JS Events Location for Online Events

kvallema

I am starting to see more and more Online events (Zoom, Teams etc.).
I would like to be able to disable the LOCATION for one type of events (ONLINE) so the system does not try to map it to a Googlemaps/Openstreetmaps when there is no location to be found.

Hi
I checked the Event option and Location fields is required to create an event. Yes after creation of the event i can help you to hide the location map section on the event page from editing the Layout of the Event page
from /component/com_community/templates/layout/event/single.php file

Hiding really makes sense only for a specific category of events. In my case, I have created a category "Online events" and I do not wish to show map for all these events...any other events should still keep the map.

Hi
Sorry it is based on the core change and will work for all pages, Can u give me 2 urls one on which u want to hide map location and another where u want to keep it

For example, I have two events in the system

https://www.uwpalumnihub.org/index.php?option=com_community&view=events&task=viewevent&eventid=1&Itemid=153
This event is public and takes place in Helsinki Finland. So a map for it makes sense.

https://www.uwpalumnihub.org/index.php?option=com_community&view=events&task=viewevent&eventid=7&Itemid=153
This event is internal Invite Only and has Categor "ONLINE EVENT". Since it is a ZOOM-event, it really makes no sense to have a map for it shown...however the Location is a required field, there is no way around it.

Hi
Both these events are using system URL and not from the menu item.
it not work to hide this way for specific event.
It is possible to hide via css if it load via 2 different menu items.
