Locations_Map

Hi Kathrin,

First of all, thanks for your interest in my plugin. ??

When I say “0% Google”, I do mean “0% Google”. LOL. So yes, it will also replace the admin map. There are still some quirks there, but I am currently trying to work them out. Hope for a new release later today or tomorrow.

The output is already in the EM format ?? That goes for single and multiple location maps.

If the code you gave is in Events → Settings → Formatting →Maps → Location Balloon format, then it should work.

You can safely try it out. If you do not edit anything (update, etc), all database info is untouched, but you can still see the output in the front-end events.

My website is a live-website with more than 1000 events and several hundred users who can online create new locations and events. Therefore I cannot try it out without editing anything ??
And as far as I understand I need to have an API key for that (although it is free). So I will need some time and have to try it once over night…

I assume that I could change back to my existing config even if I edited locations with your plugin in case it wouldn’t work?

Btw: can I test it on a localhost test-site? Google Maps does not work there. Would your plugin work on a localhost?

Just installed it on my localhost.
For single events there is no marker shown and the locations_maps only shows my local area and also no marker at all…. ([locations_map width=100% height=800 scope=”future” em_locations_get_default_search=1 eventful=1][/locations_map])
So where is the trick? What do I have to change where so that it works?

Please see the FAQ’s… width 100% is the problem. It thinks on load that 100% is full screen, so the markers and map are centered on that. If you add a max-width it will be solved.

You have not read the description ??

I read the description ?? In the single event there is no width=100% and in the settings I added instead of my formerly 520px :
100%; max-width:520px !important; min-width:350px
just as it was stated in your FAQ. But I do not see any marker on my localhost with that setting. and the singleevent now just uses #_LOCATIONMAP…
Any idea what might be missing?

Patrick, any idea, why I do not see any marker in the map? In the admin-area when editing a location, I can see a marker. But not when using the normal shortcodes in the events/locations….
I already use the API now (that one works) and have nothing in use on my local test-site but the pure Shortcode…. but no marker in the map…. ??

No, you should have one, but without a link it’s hard to tell.

Please update to version 1.4. ??

Just updated to the latest version 1.5 on my localhost
Now I see no map at all! ??
Neither in the single events nor the locations nor he locations_map…

The Google Chrome Console says: Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token in line …

const balloon = '<strong><a href=\"https://localhost/wordpress_pferd/veranstaltungsort/pferdepension-spitzbarth/\">Pferdepension Spitzbarth</a></strong>

I guess it is related to one of the lines before:
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://localhost/wordpress_pferd/wp-content/plugins/stonehenge-em-osm/inc/em-osm.min.css">
		<script src="https://localhost/wordpress_pferd/wp-content/plugins/stonehenge-em-osm/inc/em-osm.min.js"></script>

It is probably the https:// before the localhost that does not work…

I will only be able to use or test your plugin on the live website when your plugin supports the full shortcode functionality of EM for example shortcodes like
[locations_map eventful=1 scope="future" near="#_LOCATIONLATITUDE,#_LOCATIONLONGITUDE" near_unit="km" near_distance="100"]
or
[locations_map eventful="1" scope="future" state="Schleswig-Holstein"]
AND when it shows Map, Marker and all Balloons correctly.
My website is probably one of the more complex and bigger EM-Installations with a very extensive use of the Google Map (that I already partially migrated to OSM, because otherwise I would have had tremendous costs already.

If you need anything further from the google chrome console to analyze this, just let me know. I would love to migrate everything to OSM.

Things for me to look into ??
The balloon should work. I get no errors, both on my live blogs and on my localhost. If I copy/paste your const balloon value, it works. What happens if you change the balloon content in the EM settings?

The near=”#_LOCATIONLATITUDE,#_LOCATIONLONGITUDE” in your shortcode will only work if you use the shortcode in an already existing EM_Locations Object, for example a location page. There is no location ID provided in the shortcode, so using #_LOCATIONLATITUDE will then return 0.

The fasted way for you to test if you get the error because of minified scripts, is by altering the code, just a little.

In the function construct_multiple_map($args) (starts around line 460, replace

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/em-osm.min.css', __FILE__ ); ?>">
<script src="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/em-osm.min.js', __FILE__ ); ?>"></script>

With the separate, un-minified scripts:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/leaflet.css', __FILE__ ); ?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/fullscreen.css', __FILE__ ); ?>">
<script src="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/leaflet.js', __FILE__ ); ?>"></script>
<script src="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/esri-leaflet.js', __FILE__); ?>"></script>
<script src="<?php echo plugins_url('inc/fullscreen.js', __FILE__); ?>"></script> 

Please let me know the outcome of that. ??

Is “Pferdepension Spitzbarth” the complete content of your Ballon markup in Events → Formatting → Maps?

I think you have a hard enter in there. That breaks the code! Please make sure there are no hard enters (new lines) in the ballon content.

Version 1.5.1 should solve the hard enter in your ballon text. It replaces hard enters with a break tag.

Hi Patrick, I disabled all minifying etc. But that does not change a thing. The main problem on my test-website is that all links include the https:// before the localhost – which is wrong. I do not see any map at all! And this is not related to the minify or the balloon markup.

https:// is not wrong, because that is always with a localhost. Mine as well. That is not the problem. And that is added automatically, because the source is //, meaning the protocol is added depending on your server configuration.

Did you download version 1.5.1. There are changes already.

Any errors in your console?
