Event Location - location name - for usability and for geocoding
March 16, 2009, 09:16:41 pm
I'm planning an event at The Chatswood Club, 11 Help St, Chatswood NSW 2067.

My problem

In the Event Info Page, ideally I'd like the location to appear as:

LocationThe Chatswood Club
11 Help St
Chatswood, NSW 2067

However, to get the location name in, I need to prepend the Street Address with "The Chatswood Club" giving:

LocationThe Chatswood Club, 11 Help St
Chatswood, NSW 2067

Unfortunately, Google Maps doesn't like the Street Address so to get a location map, I need to remove "The Chatswood Club":

Location11 Help St
Chatswood, NSW 2067

But this means I have to put "The Chatswood Club" in my Event Description, where it could be missed.

My proposal

Add a location name to the event. People would add this during Step 2 (Event Location) of creating a new event. This would also assist in finding previous events when selecting Use Existing Location. If not set, the Event Information page appear as it currently does, but when set it would display as:

Location<Location name>
<Street address>
<City, State, Postcode>

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,

Can't you use Address name for this?
Just enable Address Name: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/setting/preferences/address?reset=1
