[Resolved] Google Maps cookie consent form

Hi, I've set up a Google Maps cookie consent form. I followed this topic:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/toolset-maps-and-gdpr-cookie-consent-plugin-seems-to-conflict/#post-1326825

I did my personal version. I use Beda's JS code to set the cookie and then I've built a custom shortcode to check if the cookie is set. It works fine.

My problem is that WP Fastest Cache is caching the page before I click the consent button (that stores the cookie). When the page is reloaded on consent click, the cookie is corretly stored, but the browser loads the cached version of the page and it still displays the consent form instead of the map.

If I open other pages with maps, they are correctly displayed, because the cheking cookie shortcode works fine. But if I go back to the first page where I clicked the consent button, I still get the button instead of the map.

Is there a way to load all the Map code on the page (so it would be cached), but not activate it (so it doesn't store any cookie and it doesn't display the map) untill I click the consent button?

cheers

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The solution provided by Beda was using the custom code and thats not the official Toolset feature. Also we do not have extensive exposer about how " WP Fastest Cache " plugin cache works. The question you raise here you should actually ask to " WP Fastest Cache " plugin support and I believe they will guide you better in this matter.

As the plugin WP Fastest Cache is caching the page before you click the consent button would you mind to check with the "WP Fastest Cache" plugin support and check with then if they offer any hook or filter that you can use to solve your problem.

Hi Minesh, thanks for your answer. I'm going to contact Fasters Cache support, but what I read in their documentation is that it is possible to exclude elements by URL, so I could only exclude pages with maps from caching. This is 80% of my pages, so it is like I deactivate caching.

I found that I could exclude a JS script from caching in this way:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" data-wpfc-render="false">
</script>

Is there a way to load the [wpv-map-render] shortcode from a JS script?

cheers

I do not have any other way to offer the Toolset map using the custom JS:

Here is the official Maps javascript API but the hooks are offered after map is loaded on map and is on map load complete event:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/maps/programmatically-change-map-settings/

There is map reload and init events. I see you already using it and here is the reference ticket of yours:
- https://toolset.com/forums/topic/google-map-in-bootstrap-accordion-in-a-cred-form-or-view/#post-406037

But there is no way to render the map using the JS as of now.

My issue is resolved now.

I found Cache flush Hooks on WP Fastest Cache documentation:
