[Plugin: Event Organiser] Feature Request: disable scrolling on map embed

Google Maps allow you to do this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2330197/how-to-disable-mouse-scroll-wheel-scaling-with-google-maps-api

So I’ll be adding in an additional attribute/argument for the map shortcode and eo_get_venue_map() function. You can expect this in 1.6 (due end of October – November ).

Indeed it does! Sorry, I should have included that, though I’m sure it didn’t take you long to find.

Sounds great! You rock.

This will be in 1.6, which is currently in beta testing: https://github.com/stephenh1988/Event-Organiser/tree/dev (dev Branch).

The option is available as a shortcode: [eo_venue_map scrollwheel=false] or can be used with the function eo_get_venue_map():

echo eo_get_venue_map('edinburgh-castle', array('scrollwheel'=>false));

Other Google option attributes added along with scrollwheel:

• zoomcontrol
• rotatecontrol
• pancontrol
• overviewmapcontrol
• streetviewcontrol
• maptypecontrol
• draggable
• maptypeid – (e.g. ‘ROADMAP’, ‘SATELLITE’)

All but the last take true/false values and default to true. The last accepts a string (see Google map type IDs) and defaults to ‘ROADMAP’.

There is also ‘tooltip’ option (defaults to false) which displays a tooltip with the venue’s address. The content of this tooltip is filterable using the hook eventorganiser_venue_tooltip.

Finally multiple venues can be displayed on one map. With the shortcode use a comma delimited string:

[eo_venue_map venue="slug-1,slug-2"]

With the function pass an array:

echo eo_get_venue_map(array('slug-1','slug-2'), array('scrollwheel'=>false));

Note the array may contain either slugs or IDs (*must* be passed as integers).

Closing this as 1.6 was released earlier today – you can find out more here: https://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/1-6-released/
