[Resolved] Showing different custom markers on single map

I wanted to use custom markers for specific (names - or nachname) in my google map.

I looked at the following example:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/different-marker-image-in-a-single-map/

I registered the "has_term" function.
I inserted the following code in the view loop:

[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]<br>
[wpv-map-render map_id="map-1" map_height="450px" map_type="terrain" street_view_control="off"]<br>Bitte einen Moment Geduld, das laden der Karte kann Zeit in Anspruch nehmen![/wpv-map-render]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop wrap="4" pad="true">
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" marker_field="wpcf-geburtsort" marker_icon='[wpv-post-body view_template="marker image"]']<div>[wpv-post-link]<br>[wpv-post-featured-image]<br>[wpv-post-taxonomy type="ereignis"]</div>[/wpv-map-marker]
[wpv-item index=1]
<div class="row ">
<div class="col-sm-3">[wpv-post-body view_template="schleifen-objekt-in-familienkarte"]</div>
[wpv-item index=other]
<div class="col-sm-3">[wpv-post-body view_template="schleifen-objekt-in-familienkarte"]</div>
[wpv-item index=4]
<div class="col-sm-3">[wpv-post-body view_template="schleifen-objekt-in-familienkarte"]</div>
</div>
[wpv-item index=pad]
<div class="col-sm-3"></div>
[wpv-item index=pad-last]
<div class="col-sm-3"></div>
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]<br>Leider nichts gefunden![/wpml-string]
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

And I inserted the following code in the template area of the view:

[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('krueger', 'nachname', null) eq '1')"]hidden link;
[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('mueller', 'nachname', null) eq '1')"]hidden link;

but the new Icons are not showing - although the category "nachname" term is showing correct as "krueger" or "mueller" - i checked.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Perhaps you can try it like this.

[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('krueger', 'nachname', null) eq '1')"]

[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" marker_field="wpcf-geburtsort" marker_icon='<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;

[/wpv-conditional]


[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('mueller', 'nachname', null) eq '1')"]

[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" marker_field="wpcf-geburtsort" marker_icon='<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;

[/wpv-conditional]

I see you are passing the content template itself into the map marker parameter which won't work because the content template doesn't only render the link itself.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
thanks but nothing changed. Your code goes in the template part of my view right?
Right on top ?

What do you mean by
I see you are passing the content template itself into the map marker parameter which won't work because the content template doesn't only render the link itself.???

I copied the code from the other example - but there were a lot of hidden links, so maybe I am missing something here.

Hi Michael,

Yes it should go in the template of your view.

I would like to check this exactly for you. Would you mind allowing me to have access to the site so that I can check the template for you ?

The private fields have been enabled for your next response.

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

The main issue is with your conditionals.

[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('krueger', 'nachname') eq '1')" ]

I checked for the taxonomy nachname and for the term kreuger and none of those exist on this website.

I'm assuming you want to use this taxonomy here.

hidden link

In this case your conditional would be.

[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('term_slug', 'anzeigename') eq '1')" debug='true']

Where you are going to replace term_slug with the actual slug of the term that you want to check.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
what did you change? since your visit my frontend looks like this! (see screenshot).

Also i am using the custom field "nachname" for my terms.
I displayed them temporarily at the bottom of the template view.
[types field='nachname'][/types]

And the terms are displayed correct. So I don't understand why the map is not using it.

[michaelM-30]

Sorry,
I saw that you used the debug='true' - so I was able to delete your code.

What I still don't understand is why the term is not used. It is NOT the taxonomy that you pasted, because this one is using full names (first name, surname etc) - and I need only the last name (which is in german "nachname") - and this is a custom field.

[michaelM-30]

Ok, so I saw that my syntax maybe wrong - it should be more like this:

[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('krueger', $(wpcf-nachname)) eq '1')" ]

But there is still an error in my new syntax - because it is still not working.

[michaelM-30]

With this new syntax
[wpv-conditional if="(has_term('Krüger', $(wpcf-nachname)) eq '1')" debug="true"]
i get this debug info for the right term:

But still the custom markers are not displayed.

####################

[if] => (has_term('Krüger', $(wpcf-nachname)) = '1')

Hi Michael,

You are checking a Custom field and NOT a taxonomy ?

In this case using the has_term() function is definitely not the correct approach. The has_term() function is used when you want to check if a post has the term attached to it.

The correct way should be

[wpv-conditional if="($(wpcf-nachname) eq 'Krüger')"]

[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" marker_field="wpcf-geburtsort" marker_icon='<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;

[/wpv-conditional]
 

Take a look at the documentation below to check for custom fields with conditionals.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/checking-types-fields-and-custom-fields/

Thanks,
Shane

[michaelM-30]

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

[michaelM-30]

Sorry Shane, but there is still one thing missing for me. The new custom icons are not showing my Title and Popup.
I cannot click the new map Icons. The default icons work ok.

Any idea on that?

This is the code that I use:
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" marker_title="[wpv-post-link]" marker_field="wpcf-geburtsort" marker_icon='[wpv-post-body view_template="marker image"]']<div>[wpv-post-link]<br>[types field='geburtsort'][/types]<br>[wpv-post-featured-image]</div>[/wpv-map-marker]

Again - this works fine for original map markers, but not with the new uploaded - custom markers.

p.s. sorry, but I already removed your access for my website.

Hi Michael,

I think the issue is that you didn't add back the information to your marker like this

[wpv-conditional if="($(wpcf-nachname) eq 'Krüger')"]
 
[wpv-map-marker map_id="map-1" marker_id="marker-[wpv-post-id]" marker_field="wpcf-geburtsort" marker_icon='<em><u>hidden link</u></em>;

<div>[wpv-post-link]<br>[types field='geburtsort'][/types]<br>[wpv-post-featured-image]</div>

[/wpv-map-marker]


[/wpv-conditional]

Also I noticed that you have the marker code outside of the template area for your view. I would recommend adding this to the template area of your view where the conditional is.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane
