Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: Events, defect)

It would be great to be able to link to the events in a certain city. For example a link that says "click here to see events in Toronto" and the page could init to a zoomed-in view instead of the defaults.

This is definitely possible to do. However, what would the UI look like? Where would this link be? On the /events page?

Comment 4

For my purposes, the link would used in blogs, as in "Check out the great events happening in Toronto <event map zoomed in to Toronto> this weekend."

Oh. This is only possible to do via JavaScript I'm pretty sure :\. We *may* be able to create a proxy page, though. So you'd have a url like https://webmaker.org/en_US/events?city=Toronto, and then it would do stuff. I dunno.... is that okay from you perspective?
