limit markers to current results?

  • I’ve built a custom post type and created a tabular display using Types and Views, and am using Pronamic Google Maps to collect geocoordinates and associate them with each custom post. Is there a way to make it so that the map (embedded using the googlemapsmashup shortcode) only displays markers for the currently displayed custom posts, so that when I filter the table’s results, the map’s results are filtered in the same way?

    Here’s the custom display I’m referring to, with the map embedded at the bottom.

    Thank you!

    Instead of using the shortcode, you could use the pronamic_google_maps_mashup function in your template and pass the IDs of the posts, like this:

    <?php
pronamic_google_maps_mashup(
	array(
		'post__in' => array( 1, 2, 3 ),
	),
	array(
		'width'       => 600,
		'height'      => 600,
	)
);
?>

    Wouldn’t that hard-code certain posts into the map display, though? I want the map display to dynamically update when the filters are changed, and I don’t have any way to predict which combination of filters a visitor will use. I need a way to have the plugin 1) determine what is being currently displayed on the page, and 2) display those same posts on the map.

    The filters on the page require a page refresh, so there should be a way to get the IDs of the displayed posts during page load. These are the IDs you need to dynamically insert in the pronamic_google_maps_mashup function. So it’s not hard-coding the IDs but rather getting the IDs of the displayed filtered posts. Unfortunately, I don’t know how this filtering is done exactly and as such cannot help you getting the IDs. My starting point would be the documentation of the used filtering plugin ??

    Gotcha — thanks for clarifying. I appreciate your pointing me in the right direction! I’ll circle back and update this once I’ve found a resolution in case others are trying to do the same thing.
