I have the same issue and am looking for a replacement theme that is compatible with php8. Any suggestions?

Hi Miro,

Excellent plugin. Thanks for your work on this. I was looking for the same feature as shawnwyatt (ability to display descriptions in the lightbox).

Just a +1 for that feature request. Would be awesome if it could be considered on the roadmap.

Thanks, J.

Same problem on my site…

Resolved

Okay, my mistake. I used a new account and my photos are not showing in public groups yet. As my group was new, too, and only had my pictures, it did not show with this plugin…

I just ran into this problem with a different theme. The solution was to copy the template-tags.php file to the child theme. Then I created a blank functions.php file which only included that template file like so:
include get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/inc/template-tags.php’;

Notice the difference between get_template_directory() and get_stylesheet_directory(). The template_directory always points to the parent theme, hence you have to use get_stylesheet_directory one to include the template file from the child theme.

After that is done, the file gets correctly loaded prior to the parent theme and declares the function with the modifications wanted in the child theme.

After discussion with Robert this does not seem to be related to the plugin or the print stylesheet at all. The results vary depending on tool used to create the PDF. I had issues with the free version of PDF Redirect which printed the map blurry, but it works fine with doPDF. I will have to do some more investigation if it is related to the default settings in PDF Redirect, e.g. image quality, or some other reason. If anyone else encounters a similar issue, please try a different PDF printer driver and comment here which tool works or might not work. Thanks!

Just emailed you a sample printout…

I think it makes sense in a specific use case that could be optional. This functionality really only requires a single field in the settings. For sites that show locations around a specific location, such as attractions around a hotel, this use case is perfect… It would then always show the directions from the hotel to the marker location. And if that might not be correct a user can still adjust the address details in the Google map which is a single click to erase the preset. In contrast, it takes a lot of characters for more complicated addresses to type in, esp. if the user has to do it multiple times.

Thanks Robert.

Re 2) The marker directions work for me in general. My suggestion is as follows: Google seems to allow parameters for
– source location (saddr parameter)
– destination location (daddr parameter)
Right now the marker location becomes the destination address and source address is left blank.

In my use case the source location will always be the same going to the various destination addresses (markers). I was hoping to be able to store my default source location so that it would be passed to Google together with the destination.

Re 2) I just took a look at leaflet-marker.php. I believe the source address can be passed to Google as saddr. We could just add a config option in the Google Maps Directions Settings to store the default location and include this piece of information in the two places in the marker file where the URL for the directions gets constructed. What do you think?

I still haven’t figured this one out. Does Catch Box not support post navigation in the same category?

Thanks for the quick reply. I will check it out. However, I am a little cautious with adding too many plugins. Sometimes all that is required might be a few lines of code at the right place in the theme, i.e. a core function call or similar. I had hope there might something simple like a call to the standard breadcrumb function that I could add to my child theme…

Ha, we definitely have good ideas, now we just need someone to implement it ??

Another alternative would be to use the social share privacy jquery plugin. It supports an initiative that has been started by a German newspaper due to privacy concerns with the share buttons which allow companies like Facebook to gather very detailed user profiles and browsing behaviour. In that implementation, only greyed out images load when the page loads (almost no negative impact on load times). If a user wants to share something, they can activate sharing with a click. Then jquery loads the required library. 2 advantages:
– no negative load time impact if dozens of js libraries are loaded remotely during initial page load
– protection of user privacy because the buttons can only share the user behaviour AFTER the first click of the user (which could be interpreted as positive consent by the user to allow this sharing)

From a performance perspective I think it would make sense to add these features:
– Configuration option to decide if JS libraries should be stored locally and how often they should get refreshed
– If many services are used an option to ask the user if sprited images should be used to minimize the number of http requests that need to be made to display various icons
– Configuration option if share privacy should be enabled which requires active click by the user to load the actual sharing feature
