Embedding a Map or Collection

Display your community map or event calendar on your own website. Just copy the embed code and paste it into your site—works with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and any other platform that supports HTML embeds.

1. Go to your community

   Navigate to the community containing the map you want to embed on your website.

2. Open the Share or Embed menu

   Look for a "Share" button or "Embed" option, typically found in the community settings or in the toolbar. Click on it to open the embed options.

3. Select what to embed

   Choose what you want to embed on your website:

   • Full map: Your entire community map with all places
   • Event calendar: A calendar view of your community's events
   • Specific collection: Only places from a particular collection

4. Customize embed settings

   Configure how the embed will appear:

   • Size: Set the width and height of the embedded map
   • Initial view: Choose the starting zoom level and center point
   • Features: Enable or disable certain controls
   Tip:

   For responsive websites, use percentage widths (like 100%) so the map adjusts to different screen sizes.

5. Copy the embed code

   Click "Copy Code" to copy the HTML embed code to your clipboard. The code will look something like this:

   <iframe src="https://places.nu/p/your-community/embed" 
     width="100%" height="500" 
     frameborder="0"></iframe>

6. Add to your website

   Paste the embed code into your website's HTML where you want the map to appear. Most website builders have an "HTML" or "Embed" block you can use.

   • WordPress: Use a Custom HTML block
   • Squarespace: Use a Code block
   • Wix: Use the HTML iframe element

7. Embedding your event calendar

   To embed just the event calendar, select the "Calendar" embed option. This displays your events in a clean calendar format that visitors can browse.

   <iframe src="https://places.nu/embed/events/?community=your-community" 
     width="100%" height="600" 
     frameborder="0"></iframe>
