fitbounds too tight

fitbounds could be changed to add padding; you could do this manually but it may be difficult.

The issue with the grey maps I wonder if it’s just zoomed in really close?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Padding could be add in css ? or in another way (which one ? ) ?
I really need to fix this…

Yes, grey maps, if you zoom out, it’s ok. But my maps are generated, I have custom post type, so I take all adresses, and make a map with one or several markers. Fixing a zoom in a fitbounds map haven’t work for me.

solved for grey map with
echo do_shortcode(‘[leaflet-map address=”‘.$adresse.'”]’);
echo do_shortcode(‘[leaflet-marker]’.$title.'[/leaflet-marker]’);
just put default zoom at 15 in leaflet options.

but for maps with
echo do_shortcode(‘[leaflet-map fitbounds]’);
…while….
echo do_shortcode(‘[leaflet-marker address=”‘.$adresse.'”]‘.$nom_gite.’[/leaflet-marker]’);

it doesn’t change anything. When I have only 1 address in my fitbounds map, it’s zoomed really close by default.
Thanks for your help

As a workaround could you add some javascript to zoom out one level after the fit-bounds map loads?

Hi pbhj,

I really don’t know how I could do this. Do you have any idea ?
Thank you

I do not recommend fitting bounds to a single marker. It makes sense why it would be so tight: It’s a single point!

Perhaps if you want a radius around the marker you could create a transparent circle around the marker:

[leaflet-map fitbounds address=”Toronto”]
[leaflet-marker]
[leaflet-circle radius=20000 opacity=0 fillOpacity=0]

You can play around with the radius if you like (units are meters). I just tested this and it seems to be a good work around for this use-case.

Hi Bozdoz,

yes I know it’s a single point, but I have made a template page for an archive of custom post type, and sometimes, there is only one result. I think I’m going to test if I only have one result, and then make a map without fitbounds for this case.

Also, for the other problem, I would like to know how to make a padding (on a fidbounds map with 7 poitns, 2 of them are close to the border of the map…) ? I have 6 maps on the same page, figuring all markers for 6 differents terms of custom post type.
Thanks

you could add a circle for any and all addresses:

[leaflet-map fitbounds]
[leaflet-marker address=”vancouver”]
[leaflet-circle address=”vancouver” radius=2000 opacity=0 fillOpacity=0]
[leaflet-marker address=”halifax”]
[leaflet-circle address=”halifax” radius=2000 opacity=0 fillOpacity=0]

it shouldn’t matter how many markers you have, you can add padding to fitbounds in the same way.

Great, it works !
I had to put radius to 11000 to see a difference.
Thanks a lot, that’s a very usefull plugin, you did a great job !
