The “Address” widget: show the address of your venue or event

The Address widget shows the street, postal code and town of your page, and the country for a place abroad. Below it is the link Get directions, which opens Google Maps at this place.

The widget exists on venue pages and event pages. The owner and the team of the page can add and edit it.

Important: the widget has no address of its own. It always shows the address from the page head. On a venue page that is the venue’s address; on an event page it is the address of the chosen venue or the event’s own address.

How to add the widget

1. Open the page and tap Edit in the bar.
2. Tap Add a widget here and choose the tile Address in the group Place.
3. Check the address in the dialog and, if you like, give the tile a Heading (English) under General (optional, at most 200 characters).
4. Tap Insert, then Save in the bar.

A newly inserted tile is half as wide as the page. You change the width in the tile’s bar under Width.

Changing the address

At the top of the dialog it says: “One address for the whole page: head, address and map. A change here changes it everywhere.” So what you change here also applies to the page head and to the Map widget.

• Venue page: under Kind of place, choose With address or No address (grounds). Type at least three characters into Street and number and pick a suggestion; Postal code and City are filled in with it. Set the pin by clicking the map, or use Enter coordinates.
• Event page: the switch chooses between Select venue and Custom address. Under Search venues you find a venue on the platform; the event then takes its address and its point on the map.

The changed address applies once you save the page. You can also change it directly in the page head.

Common problems

• “No address yet.” In Management mode the button Set address then appears. It opens the place editor in the page head. Visitors read: “No address has been entered.”
• “Finish the address first.” Under “Before you can apply, still missing:” you see what is missing, such as City or Pin on the map.
• “The pin is … from the address – is the address right?” Check the street and the pin before you apply.
• The address search does not respond. Then type the street and postal code yourself and set the point on the map or by coordinates.
• The venue has no point on the map yet. Without it the event cannot be published. The link Set it on the venue page takes you there.
