Hello,

I have some issues pulling data into an archive loop. It is about a dealer listing page.

hidden link

Issue 1: After every number, like zip code there's questionmark.
Issue 2: The URL loses it's colon : causing it to not work
Issue 3: In the Map View I added a pop-up window for the pin. Thinking it would be a great idea to give directions I created a link, which is a mixture of the Google Maps URL + Data from the data base. But it seems like it's stays blank. Also the letter N appears twice before the link.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you for waiting.

During testing on my website, I was not able to reproduce the issue with the map marker's popup content.

To investigate this further, I'll need to test your website's view on a different server.

Do I have your permission to download a clone/snapshot of the website?

Hi Ben,

Thank you for waiting and I apologize for the delay in getting back on this.

I'm just finishing with the tests and will share my findings shortly.

First, thank you for waiting as this investigation took longer than I initially expected.

We have some internal tickets to improve how the complex content and HTML is handled inside the map marker pop-ups.
( ref: https://toolset.com/errata/cannot-add-shortcodes-to-toolset-address-field-marker-popup/ )

I'm afraid, I don't have a time estimate at the moment, but in my tests, this custom shortcode worked inside the marker pop-up, to show the link to Google Maps, with the location from the custom field:

add_shortcode('show_address_field_link', 'show_address_field_link_fn');
function show_address_field_link_fn() {
	$field_output = do_shortcode("[types field='post-location'][/types]");
	if(!empty($field_output)) {
		ob_start();
		echo '<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.urlencode($field_output).'" target="_blank">Route plan</a>';
		return ob_get_clean();
	}
}

Please replace "post-location" with your location field's slug.

The above code snippet can be included through either Toolset's custom code feature ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/ ) or through the active theme's "functions.php" file.

Then inside the "Pop-up content" field in the Map block, you can call this shortcode to show the Google Map link, like this:

[show_address_field_link]

Additionally, avoid using any line breaks or empty spaces inside the "Pop-up content" field, and the stray "n" letters won't show.

Hi,

The fix for the issue with the map marker pop-ups has been covered in the latest release of Toolset Maps (2.0.9).

You're welcome to update and let us know through a new ticket, in case it still persists.
