Hi Dominique,

That CodeIgniter plugin is very ancient and would not likely be useful for anything nowadays.

You may want to look into the WordPress API which could be called from CI to perform many WP functions. That would be the route that i’d take now.

Hope this helps ??

Hi Dominique,

That’s me. The email address above should get to me. How can i help you?

Well i just downloaded the latest and custom fields are nowhere to be seen. They are totally essential to all of our sites and not having them is a showstopper.

The editor text is too small for most of our staff and with the classic editor i had to make it larger. How to do that with Gutenberg?

yep, totally essential to see the permalink to edit it – can’t do that

After reading this thread i still cannot find a way to left-float an image.

Related image problems –

1. It is not possible to add an image in the code editor (where i do all my work). When i add an image manually in the code editor it doesn’t show in the visual editor!

2. Why does image get added with https:// when the whole site and page i’m editing is https:// ??

3. It’s a huge pain to select an image size because the dimensions are not shown any more.

So many more steps to do everything. The new UI is a total mess. All i want to do is type some text and add a few images and that is not even possible.

yeh, i second that – we have a custom taxonomy metabox for language choice and it doesn’t show – this is a showstopper

You’re welcome to do as you wish with it. I put the file here –

https://columbiavalley.com/media/public/mymaps-0.0.1.zip

Note that it is simply a shortcode, with no documentation other than the code itself.

I’m contemplating making a public version, as i realize that there are lots of people who only need a simple map for a contact form or whatever and won’t want to give Google their credit card number just for that. But i haven’t yet committed to this, as it’s a fair bit of work and long-term responsibility.

If you need to reach me, just email 2016(at)rosling.ca

Hi Robert,

I removed that file from my server today.

Hi barry,

We have decided to abandon Google maps because of this change, so we’re definitely very interested in seeing enough interest expressed to encourage the addition of an alternative maps source to the Events Calendar.

I have just finished writing a plugin using Leaflet.js to build maps from a variety of OSM sources, as well as from Bing and Google (with API keys). Leaflet is really easy to work with, so i’d encourage the developers of the Events Calendar to look into it. If you want my plugin as a working example, let me know.

Hi Robert,

Sorry for the delay. I ended up writing a plugin to create Leaflet maps, and when testing it discovered that there are issues with maps not rendering properly in hidden divs… at which point i realized that this was the reason why your plugin appeared to be broken on some sites.

In the process of researching that issue i came across a post by you on the same problem. It’s definitely not an easy one to resolve, since there’s no native event for when an element is made visible. I didn’t feel like getting in over my head so took the path of using setInterval and invaliding the map to force re-rendering when the map div becomes visible. Not elegant but it works.

I don’t know if it will be of any help to you, but here’s the plugin and you’re welcome to use anything in it that is helpful. I made it support a long list of data sources, including (ironically) both Google and Bing, with API keys, of course.

I’ll only leave this on our server for a few days, until it seems likely that you’ve gotten a copy. Feel free to remove the link from this post once you’ve got it.

Hi Robert,

I appreciate your responses to this.

Yes, i’m aware that this is a separate problem, but it needs to be resolved before we can resolve the initial problem. However, i’m unable (literally) to give you access to a test site that is running on localhost.

We have numerous websites on which we wish to deploy Mapsmarker, and if it works we’d be happy to buy the pro version. At the moment i am evaluating whether it will meet our needs (which at this point it obviously won’t).

Since we are abandoning Google maps on principle, if Mapsmarker won’t work for us, then unfortunately we’ll have to write our own, since there does not appear to be any other credible alternative.

Note that on the dev site (which is where the above errors appeared) no Google API key is installed, but there is a Google map (which fails because there’s no API key on the dev site).

Hi Robert,

So on my way to testing this locally with a WP theme, because i have PHP errors enabled for the development environment, it turned out that the plugin is encountering PHP errors.

Hi Robert, and thanks for looking at this.

I typed in those quote marks by hand and they are regular ASCII straight-up double quotes, not curly quotes. Just to be sure, i typed them in again just now. It does not make any difference.

Yes, “market” was a typo, and “marker” is what i was actually using.
