Custom Taxonomy doesn't works with Location Map

    Hi everyone,

    I added a new custom taxonomy with the name “location-categories” to the location custom post type which comes with the Events Manager Plugin.

    I’m using this custom taxonomy as a way to categorize my Locations and to give them a special template through my archive.php->taxonomy-location-categories.php.

    Now what I would like to do is to use the Location Map Shortcode/PHP Function to display a location map with all locations in that specific custom taxonomy category.

    Now as I read in the changelogs of Version 5.4.4 I thought that this would be possible as custom taxonomies can be used as search parameters, but unfortunately my try to use:
    echo em_get_locations_map_shortcode(array(‘location-categories’ => 355));
    doesn’t bring up the map.

    It only shows the gray map with the status “Loading map…”

    To confirm that it works with the native build in event-categories, I switched the Parameter to:
    echo em_get_locations_map_shortcode(array(‘category’ => 1169));
    which works as expected.

    I did search through the json_decode functions and more, but haven’t found a hint where to go next to make my custom taxonomy work.

    Any help will be highly appreciated!

    Thanks for this answer, the outlined solutions looks like the solution I used before as this uses the original EM_TAXONOMY_CATEGORY for EM_POST_TYPE_LOCATION which is not a clean solution in my eyes.

    This is why I created a new custom taxonomy (location-categories) which is equal to EM_TAXONOMY_CATEGORY but separated from that. What I would like to do now, is to make the LOCATION MAP functionality to work with this taxonomy.

    Thanks so far anyway

    maybe you can try to hook into em_locations_get filter and then do something similar from the snippet above.

    Okay finally after quite a couple of hours debugging the corresponding JS and PHP Files I found the solution and the problem…

    The good side is:
    The functionality works out of the box – so it works seemless with my custom taxonomy.

    The bad side:
    When WP Debug or PHP Errors are turned on, it will not work as the PHP API which is used for the ajax request of the corresponding categories will drop endless errors.

    So in conclusion my problem was that I had errors turned on, which resulted in these errors at the begging of the GET Requests Response which made the Map crash:

    /var/www/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 186 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 188 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 192 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 202 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 205 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 205 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in

    So what actually happens is that the location map querys the following url:
    https://baseurl.tld/?location-categories=968&em_ajax=true&query=GlobalMapData&width=100%25&height=300px&random_id=61cee

    which response needs to be error free …

    Any idea where these php errors come from or how to solve them?
    For me it seems like Events Manager is calling get_permalink in a wrong way ?!? Bug?!

    Are you still using em_get_locations_map_shortcode?

    Perhaps the issue lies in the parameters passed to that function. Without having your code it’s hard to know where those errors might be originating.

    If you can get a stack trace then that might pinpoint the error more accurately.

    Thanks

    Well, you’ll find my source code in my first post.

    As pointed out, my problem is solved when errors are underpressed…
    As these errors exist even with the standard theme twenty twelve and even with simple standard parameters, I guess that this is a bug …

    Put this in your wp-config.php:

    define('WP_DEBUG', false);

    … I did turn on WP_Debug because I was debugging my template.
    Underpressing warnings and errors are not the best pattern if you want to achieve a error free template.

    Yes, but what you’re getting is a Notice, not an error. I know You must not supress errors to have an error free template, but defining WP_Debug to True, you’ll always get that notice, because is for debug.

    You’re welcome, btw.
