Dynamic Map Markers Based On Taxonomy

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: On my Map View, I would like to display different marker icons depending on whether or not the post has a specific term from a custom taxonomy.

Solution: Use map marker shortcodes and conditional shortcodes with the has_term function to display different markers based on the has_term function.

Just did as you explained, and am seeing the different markers now! Because I am still quite new to Toolset, having those visuals to reference were very helpful. Thank you so much for your time and help with this!

Actually, one last thing:

Our old markers had clickable popups that showed some basic information... How do I go about adding those through the shortcode? For reference, this is what we previously had:

<h1>[types field='site-name'][/types]</h1>
<p>[types field='address'][/types]</p>
<p>Status: [wpv-post-taxonomy type='status' format='name']</p>
<p>Monitor Type: [wpv-post-taxonomy type='monitor-type' format='name']</p>
<p>Technician: [wpv-post-taxonomy type='technician' format='name']</p>

I have tried setting the "marker_title" property, but that isn't quite what we want, since it is not clickable. Thanks in advance!

You can insert content in between the wpv-map-marker shortcodes to display it in the marker popup:

[wpv-map-marker...]
<h1>[types field='site-name'][/types]</h1>
<p>[types field='address'][/types]</p>
<p>Status: [wpv-post-taxonomy type='status' format='name']</p>
<p>Monitor Type: [wpv-post-taxonomy type='monitor-type' format='name']</p>
<p>Technician: [wpv-post-taxonomy type='technician' format='name']</p>
[/wpv-map-marker]
