XF 2.2 SVG map as forum header

[dvsDave]

So, I have been creating a geographical set of subforums. I want a map to show off the different regions. I created an SVG with the regions and embedded a link into the svg. (https://www.controlbooth.com/maps/the_grid.svg)

Where I'm struggling is embedding this into the description of the forum. I try to paste the HTML and get an error that the HTML is too long:

XF\Db\Exception: MySQL query error [1406]: Data too long for column 'description' at row 1 in src/XF/Db/AbstractStatement.php at line 230

I need to make sure this works on mobile and desktop, but at a loss of how to embed this.

Also, I need the map to NOT show up on the main forum listing page.

So, I'm an idiot and completely forgot about widgets, but dear god, I am lost with widget conditionals

so, if I understand the conditionals correctly

xf:if is="$forum.node_id == 182"

Should be what I put in the display conditional field? does it need to be wrapped in HTML brackets, or am I completely wrong on the syntax?
