[Plugin: Events Manager] Maps/Geotagging: google maps bubble content

  • I wanted to control what is displayed in the google maps bubble.

    The site is studentglobalhealth.org

    I used the short code to generate the map on the front page, but I would like the bubbles to include a link to the event details and the name of the event. It successfully displays address/location related information, but it will not display any information contained in the event-related variables like #_EVENTNAME or #_EVENTLINK when I try to add these variable.

    By default, the Events Manager backend, it has the following html which works:
    #_LOCATION<p>#_LOCATIONADDRESS</p><p>#_LOCATIONTOWN</p>

    What would I type to get it to display the event name and the event link, in the bubbles for each of the events on the map, or is this impossible? Do I have to get it to call these non-location variables, and if so, how do I go about that?

    what shortcode did you use? if you used the location shortcode, event placeholders wouldn’t work there.

    Marcus,

    Thanks for your reply. The shortcode that I used was: [locations_map country=”US” width=full height=400]

    Is there a different approach that I should take either in short codes, or in the hard code?

    That won’t work there, this is only to display locations with upcoming events, not events at upcoming locations, meaning it displays location information, not a specific event.

    One thing you can do is use #_LOCATIONNEXTEVENTS but that could make a big balloon if you have many events in one location, so you’d probably have to make a custom placeholder.

    Whilst writing I’ve come to think that #_LOCATIONNEXTEVENT (no S, i.e. the next event) would be a great placeholder.

    Marcus,

    Your suggestion worked. #_LOCATIONNEXTEVENTS is exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate that you took the time to help me to figure this out!

    I added #_LOCATIONNEXTEVENT into the next update btw ??
