Stake LUWS map links don't work
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2009 11:26 am
In LUWS, each home page has the address of the meetinghouse for that unit. Directly below the address are links for "Map" and "Driving Directions". These links go to maps.lds.org, and they work great for wards -- the unit ID is passed on the URL for maps.lds.org, so the correct meetinghouse is located.
However, on the stake LUWS home page, these map and driving direction links also are available, but they don't work properly. They go to maps.lds.org, but no unit ID is passed on the command line, and so the maps.lds.org page is displayed with a blank address and the whole world displayed in the map panel -- the same as if you simply go straight to maps.lds.org.
It seems like it shouldn't be that hard to make the map links go to the stake center. This may require changes to both LUWS and maps.lds.org. But if they can't be made to work properly, I would think it is better to just remove the links from the stake LUWS home page.
