Locations in LiveWhale (formerly called Places) are saved places that you can apply to events or other content types. Applying locations to any content type allows you to display it pinned on a map widget.
Adding locations can be done globally or locally within a group. Global locations are a great way to enter all campus locations for your editors to reference. This prevents common areas from being duplicated and resulting in consistent naming. Locally entered locations in each group is best suited for venues that are specific for a department or off-campus locations that are not widely used.
In LiveWhale CMS, you can set these under Locations > Global Locations
In LiveWhale Calendar, you can set these under Toolbox > Shared Locations
If you are an editor you have permissions to Locations you can pre-populate your site with locations for your group to access. Follow the steps below to make a location accessible to all your group editors.
In LiveWhale CMS, you can set these under Locations
In LiveWhale Calendar, you can set these under Toolbox > Locations
In LiveWhale 1.8+, you can use the “locations” widget to generate lists of saved locations. LiveWhale uses this internally to generate the location selector on the event submission form, but you can use <widget type="locations"></widget>
and filter by group or other criteria in your own projects.
