Topic Tag: Toolset Maps

Problem:

In this user's case their map markers were not showing up on the map.

Solution:

For this user their map was working fine. What I did was to put the view that had the map on a different page and it worked fine.

This leads me to believe that there was an issue with the original page.

The user was using Elementor shortcode block to add view, I suggested to add the toolset views shortcode to an Editor block in elementor.

Problem:
How to list posts which have a custom field value the same as the current post?

Solution:
You need to pass the value of the custom field in the current post to the View which uses that value in a Query Filter for that custom field.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to create an Open in Google maps button that when clicked takes the user to the Google maps website with their location.

Solution:

This is possible, however you would've already need to get the url from the maps website and add it as a link to the page. This will intern link you to the exact location on the map with the marker already filled in.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user's addresss is not showing on their map on the frontend.

Solution:

The first thing I would check is that the map id for the marker is the same id that was assigned to the map itself.

Secondly I would check the API key to see if it has been setup correctly.

In this user's case it was their API key
