[Gelöst] Map Zoom not working on single location

Hello,

I have a map view showing on an author.php page where I have used this for business location landing pages. I have the map working showing the proper location but no matter what I do I cannot get the map to zoom out by default. Here is my views set-up:

<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
[wpv-map-render map_id="map-4" map_height="400" single_zoom="5"][/wpv-map-render]
		<wpv-loop>
         [wpv-map-marker map_id='map-4' marker_id='marker-5' single_zoom="5" marker_usermeta='wpcf-address' id='[get_user_id]'][/wpv-map-marker]
		</wpv-loop>

I am displaying the view using php in author.php

Hi Jason,

Thank you for contacting us and I'll be happy to assist.

I tried to view your website, but it was behind a folder level access protection.

As a general note, the map controls the zoom level and the center automatically when the "fitbounds" attribute is not set or set to "on":
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps-shortcodes/#wpv-map-render

To make sure that your assigned "single_zoom" attribute value is used instead, please include fitbounds="off" in the map's shortcode:

[wpv-map-render map_id="map-4" map_height="400" single_zoom="5" fitbounds="off"][/wpv-map-render]

Note: if you'll check the arguments for the shortcode "wpv-map-marker", you'll note that it doesn't accept the "single_zoom" attribute and you can remove that from your marker's shortcode too.

I hope this helps!

So I added the fitbounds="off" but now the map centers over Africa. The Marker is seen once you zoom way out. I also changed the zoom level from 5 to 10 and nothing happened.

The site uses a username password at first. Sorry I did not provide this. Let me know best way to provide this.

Thank you!

Hi Jason,

Thanks for writing back.

I apologize for missing out this detail earlier since it is available in the shortcode's documentation:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps-shortcodes/#wpv-map-render

Setting the "fitbounds" to "off" is like telling the map that you'd like to control the zoom level and centering, manually. For this reason, you'll also need to specify:

- "general_zoom" attribute (default zoom for the map when it loads)
- "general_center_lat" attribute to tell the latitude to use for the map's center
- "general_center_lon" attribute to tell the longitude to use for the map's center

This should do the trick, but I'm still setting your next reply as private, in case you need to share the access details for further troubleshooting.

So I am still confused as how do I specify the Lon / Lat in the manual settings?

Here is login to main site, I provide wp-admin before

Hi Jason,

The username and password for the front-end access worked, but the ones for the admin area didn't.

You can use Google Maps ( versteckter Link ) or the "latlong.net" tool ( versteckter Link ) to get the "Latitude" and "Longitude" of your desired location.

For example, suppose you want to set the map's default manual center to "Empire State Building".

You'll open its marker in the Google Maps and copy the "Latitude" and "Longitude" ("40.748570" and "-73.985614", respectively).
( screenshot: versteckter Link )

In the shortcode, you can use these values after rounding them to 4 decimal places, for example:

[wpv-map-render map_id="map-4" map_height="400" general_zoom="10" fitbounds="off" general_center_lat="40.7485" general_center_lon="-73.9856"][/wpv-map-render]

So my addresses are not manually entered. These are profile accounts where the user inputs address to then display a single marker on the map. I cannot manually enter each on as there will be hundreds of these.

The login will work now. I had overwritten the DB. Sorry about that.

I looked into how to pull the coordinates and plugin them into the fields but did not find anything online or in the support forum. The coordinates display in the backend but I do not see a shortcode to display them.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for enabling the admin area access.

I apologize, as I thought you were working with a map with multiple markers and not a single one.

Looking at the view "Single Map" ( versteckter Link ), I noticed that it is currently set to cycle through all available users with role "Location", which is resulting in multiple entries for the marker code ("34" times, which is equal to the number of users with "Location" role).

Since this view needs to show only information about a single user whose author archive page is showing, it should only be cycling/processing a single user.

This will require adding a "Query Filter" that should only bring in user whose ID is set by a shortcode attribute "users". I've already set this for you, as shown in this screenshot:
versteckter Link

To make sure the ID of the user whose author archive page is being viewed gets passed on to the view's shortcode in the "author.php" file, you'll need to update the code from:

<?php $args = array(
	'title' => 'Single Map',
	'myattribute' => 'single-map'
	);
echo render_view( $args );
?>

To:

<?php 

$req_user_ID = do_shortcode( '[get_user_id]' );

$args = array(
	'title' => 'Single Map',
	'users' => $req_user_ID
	);
echo render_view( $args );
?>

Once the view is fixed, the marker code will only exist for one user and the zoom level attribute should work.

I hope this helps and please let me know how it goes.

regards,
Waqar

Thank you for your help. So I changed the post type from users to a post. How would I incorporate this now? I tried using the post ID but it is not working.

Thank you for your help.

I ended up just creating a content template and adding the map that way. Thank you!
