Information If you have migrated from a previous version where the widgets did not have the 'Context' dropdown, the widgets will need to be recreated to support the 'Context' types. |
Each of the widget parameter fields has a corresponding 'Context Type' dropdown associated with it. These dropdowns allow you to pull information into the widgets in the same way that they allow you to pull information into the article itself.
For more information, refer to Article Context Fields.
The following example illustrates how to use context types to pull information into the Google Maps widget.
This example also assumes that you have entered the following information:
•The latitudinal coordinates of the venue in the Event Configuration - Venue|Basic page's 'Latitude' field.
•The longitudinal coordinates of the venue in the Event Configuration - Venue|Basic page's 'Longitude' field.
For information on finding the latitude information for a location, refer to Inserting the Google Maps Widget.
