Originally you had Location where it would map if address entered and hyperlink if HTML. This was a good idea except, it would sometimes try to map the name of a venue or hyperlink some combination Admin entered. Now it's become even more complicated.

Some chapters are live-streaming physical meetings. In this case they would need both a physical location and a hyperlink.

I'm seeing a need for four separate fields:
  • Name of Venue
  • Address (w/ map)
  • Hyperlink (if HTML entered)
  • Other note: Room #, Park in rear and enter through yellow door, ask at front desk, etc.
Okay, this huge: database, TPL files (admin and front-end), and PHP files (admin and front-end). While I'm working on it, things are going to break in the front-end and admin (Events and Calendar). So, hold off any testing etc. Gonna create four (4) fields:

Venue Name (VENUE_NAME) [Required]
Venue Physical Address (VENUE_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS) [Optional but one of Physical Address and Web Address required]: will be mapped like you in Get in Touch section on Home Page
Venue Web Address (VENUE_WEB_ADDRESS) [Optional but one of Physical Address and Web Address required]: includes link in new window to website
Venue Notes (VENUE_NOTES) [Optional]

Yes?

Also, what type fields?

VENUE_NAME: VARCHAR (as entered via input form field)?
VENUE_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS: VARCHAR (as entered via input form field)?
VENUE_WEB_ADDRESS: VARCHAR (as entered via input form field)?
VENUE_NOTES: TEXT (as entered via textarea form field) : if so, HTML editor or plain?

I wouldn't make any of them required. For example, what if the Event is just a reminder: "Election Day." Admin may or may not want to include Venue Note: You should have received a ballot by Email.

Other than that, Yes.

HTML - Could even upload image of parking lot with parking instructions.  Hadn't thought about that, but I like it.

Does this also apply to Sub-Events, or just Events?

Eventually we want to create separate fees, sign-in/outs and locations for Sessions, but I'm thinking that's all one project. Are we taking that on now?

Gawd no :) Currently admin can define Location for Sub-Events (Breaks and Sessions). Should we also do the same for these in terms of those four new fields?

Why not, as long as they're not required.

When editing an existing Event or Sub-Event, shouldn't we make it required that you either  VENUE_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS or  VENUE_WEB_ADDRESS =, and make VENUE_NAME required? Should we remove Location from data table here: https://development.chapteroffice.com/admin-manage-events? Can still be edited via popup. With four fields, gonna get crowded.

We have had this discussion before. My experience is that required fields invite bad information. If data are required to fulfill the mission, then require it. If not necessary, then we quash creativity. For instance, what if a chapter wants to place something on the calendar that doesn't have venue or location affiliated with it? How about deadline for submitting nomination?

What was your second question? Remove location... I guess I'm not in the thick of it, so don't see the pros or cons on this one.
