Hi,

We are going to add another setting, as part of the responsive functionality, that will allow you to make the map 100% of its parent container – there are a couple of caveats here though. If the container that the map is placed into is not correctly configured, the map could end up with a height of 0. If you have any thoughts on how you would like this implemented, please let us know.

Note: we want to cater for both end-users and developers, with all functionality added, so we need to ensure that the functionality is easy enough for an end-user to benefit from but configurable enough for a developer to manipulate to achieve the desired outcome.

Hi,

Glad that you like the plugin. Just as a note, you are able to enter a location address in the “Search bar” between the menu and the map. We are in the process of adding GPS coordinate manipulation to the markers as well.

Hi,

I have released a new version (2.0.6) that will resolve this issue for you.

Thanks for the support!

Hi,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you but it took us a while to resolve this issue.

The reason for the error is that another plugin(s)/theme(s) installed on your WordPress site is loading the Google Maps API without the “places” library. There are 2 issues with this – 1. Our plugin requires the places library to be loaded for the search functionality to work and, 2. Another plugin is loading JavaScript on our plugin pages – this is usually due to poor programming practice.

I have released version 2.0.5 which contains a ‘fix’ for the Hero Maps plugin. The plugin is no longer reliant on the “places” library to function. The unfortunate issue here is that there is currently no way for us to load the “places” library after Google Maps has already loaded (by another plugin) so the “search” function in our plugin will not work until you remove the plugins in question.

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Hi,

We have leveraged off of the Google Maps default info box for our plugin. You are not currently able to define the info window size in the back-end.

That said, it is possible to manipulate the size using CSS – you can click on “Maps > [your map] > Developers” and add a CSS class to the map container. Once the map has a class, you can reference the class in your CSS and manually set the info window size by referencing the “gm-style-iw” class.

Please let me know if you require any further assistance.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to log a query.

Could you please supply a screenshot of the issue (you can email it to me directly: [email protected]) and I will take a look at it for you.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for taking the time to try our plugin.

When creating a map, if you place a marker on the map and click on the marker, a panel will appear that will allow you to define the content that appears when the marker is clicked.

That said, this is not going to provide the exact functionality that you require. We have added developer support to the plugin so that it can be manipulated to fit any possible requirements. If you click on “Maps > [your map] > Developers”, you can enable the “Marker onclick” Event”. Once enabled, click on a marker on the map and you will notice a “Custom Parameter” input. With a little bit of JS, you will be able to achieve exactly what you require.

We will attempt to build this functionality into a future release but for now, we are happy to assist with the JS creation and implementation if required.

Please let us know if we can be of any assistance.
