The map view has been expanded to include the option of displaying information about events taking place at the selected location in the marker pop-up.

A list of events can be displayed together with a map. Previously, however, only the locations where the events took place were shown as markers on the map. This meant that it was not clear which event were taking place at that location.

With version 19, in addition to the address of a location, the next events at that location can now also be displayed in a marker pop-up. In addition, all events at that location can be displayed as a list via a link in the pop-up.

Part of the Mercury Extension Package

This feature is not included in the open source version of the Mercury template, but is part of the Mercury Extension Package from Alkacon Software. Please contact us if you are interested in our Mercury extensions.
