Conflict with Adanced Custom Fields

When you say “page editor screen” you mean the “Add store” page or the page editor screen under pages -> Add new? Do you have any other plugins active that use Google Maps?

Hi, thanks for your reply.

It’s on the ‘Pages’ > ‘Add new’ screen. I am also using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin which displays a google map in the ‘Add New Page’ screen. This is the map that won’t display when the WP Store Locator plugin is active.

Hope that helps.

You probably used an add-on for the ‘Advanced Custom Fields’ plugin to get Google Maps to show up on the on the ‘Add new’ page? When I install it don’t see any maps?

Can you otherwise send the admin login details for your site to info at tijmensmit.com? Then I can have a look myself.

Can you help me to extend my result view? I want to add description in result view.

Is that possible?

Thanks.

1) You should never ever hijack the thread of someone else, you should have started a new one!

2) open the wpsl-gmap.js file, search for ‘storeHtml’ then at the end you will see ‘html =’. There pick the location where you want to display it, and add ‘response.description’ in the same way the id and store image is added. So ‘ + response.description + ‘, it’s best if you do this in code editor so it will tell you if you get the syntax wrong.

I am having this exact issue. ACF added a google maps field to their core fields with no additional add-ons required. I get an ‘Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function ‘ error in the ACF files. Did anyone find a solution to this?

@claytord you are using ACF version 4.3.8? What is the WP version you are using? If you disable the store locator plugin it doesn’t happen? What page are you visiting when you get the error?

Thanks for the speedy response Tijmen! I am using:
Wordpress – 3.9.1
WP Store Locator – 1.2.21
ACF – 4.3.8

It seems if I input the Google Maps field values for my locations before activating the Store Locator they will continue to work but if I try to edit or add new ones they will not save or show up on the front end. I get an error in the edit post view on the admin screen, its a “Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function” and it is happening in the input.min.js file in the advanced custom fields plugin folder in the js folder. I may try to use the non-minified version of that file and see if I can’t more accurately locate the problem.

Small update, I found the problem.

It has something todo with the way ACF loads the Google Maps script. I installed a few other plugins that also use Google Maps, and 4 out of 5 also give errors when I tried to set a location value.

Will let you know once I figured out the best way to fix this.

I think I fixed it, at least it works fine for me. But if possible can you also test it? It would require you to edit the code a bit in the /admin/class-admin.php file.

At the bottom of that file you see the admin_scripts function. If you can change it to this, and let me know if that fixes it for you as well?

$screen = get_current_screen();

if ( strpos( $screen->id, 'wpsl_' ) !== false ) {
//here goes the current code
}

This worked like a charm! To be clear I added the if statement inside the admin_scripts function. Now both are working beautifully, thanks so much Tijmen!

Where is locate the /admin/class-admin.php file?

@websonica You still have issues with the advanced custom fields plugin? Did you update to the latest version, that should have fixed it.

The file is located in the /wp-content/plugins/wp-store-locator folder on your server.

Hi Tijmen,
I use the latest ACF version (4.3.8) and the WP User Frontend plugin.
In my opinion te problem is the double call of the google map scripts from ACF and WPUF.
you know a way to disable one of the two calls?
Thanks

This is the support form for the WP Store Locator plugin, not the WP User Frontend plugin. If you need support for the WP User Frontend plugin then you should post it there.

And I think the problem lies with the way ACF loads Google Maps, if another plugin also loads Google Maps after the map script added by ACF then it breaks. If I remember correctly it uses js to load it and expects a callback which never happens, which make the ACF map break.

I fixed it in my plugin by restricting the loading of my scripts to the pages used by my plugin, but not sure which code to change in the WP User Frontend plugin to fix it there. You would have to contact the author for that.
