Hi Marcus, I won’t have access to my XP machine for a few days, but nonetheless I think you have the right answer.

This might already be a known issue, but if you use a custom map size (by editing the theme css) the street view is also blocky in all browsers I tested.

As a workaround, I’m using this plugin, and pasting the map shortcode it generates into a custom EM attribute field. The two plugins work well hand-in-hand and I haven’t found any glitches in any browsers so far. Might be worth cross-referencing EM’s map source etc. with theirs.

Thank you for quick response/development.

If it’s of any use to you, Marcus, I just tested the site with IE8 and IE9 in Vista and there are no problems.

When I encountered the problem earlier, I was using IE8 in XP so perhaps the problem (with IE at least) is limited to XP?

Oh, should say.. the maps function correctly in the backend when adding/editing locations.

Thought I’d re-raise this as I’m experiencing the same issue with my site and indeed if I follow Liz’s link in IE8 the map is blockified.

With my site, I have disabled all plugins except EM, switched to TwentyEleven/TwentyTen themes, removed all map balloon formatting from EM settings, reverted to all original CSS, deactivated all widgets to find the bug…

and am at a loss. Where else could the problem lie?

Ps. I am running IE8 in bootcamp (although I don’t think this affect’s anything, as the problem also arises in other browsers eg. Android stock browser and Dolphin HD for Android.) but thought it might be worth mentioning.

No problems in Firefox/Chrome.

Thanks

hi agelonwl, thanks for your suggestion.

In TwentyEleven, the snippet does indeed cause the theme to display the events on the homepage but alas, not in my chosen theme (Organic Structure).

This is probably due to the fact that the theme’s options require a blog category to be specified for the three different featured content sections of the homepage (although ‘all categories’ still won’t include events). Same with it’s blog and portfolio page templates. So seems like it will require modification of the options file.

I have approached Organic Themes for some further help with this.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your response. I was slightly misleading by stating I wanted to see the events in the posts admin area. My main aim was to make my theme recognise the events as posts so they are displayed in the frontend in the theme’s featured areas. Ie. To assign the EM events as a blog category which could be selected as a featured category in the theme options (or something to that effect).

Would adding the event post type into the WP_Query help achieve this in any way?

As far as I can see, an EM page will override a standard blog post with the same permalink, so a workaround (as I think Colin suggests) is to create “partner posts” for each event. I’m not working with too many events, so I may settle for that.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I would find this modification useful too (to make events actual posts/pages and display them in those sections in the admin panel). I am slightly uncertain of the procedure though and any further details you could provide (if not too complicated) would be appreciated.

I have accessed wp-includes/query.php but am not sure where to go from here.

Thanks for creating such a great plugin.
