Hi.
I am using the free version, and I am wondering how to get rid of the control box on the upper right-hand side of the map. This control box toggles to show the list of maps (basemaps), but I don’t need the control box or the list of maps.
Thanks in advance!
Lola
Hi Lola,
thanks for using my plugin.
To remove the control box on a specific map, please follow these steps:
1. switch to “advanced editor” (link right to the marker name on a marker or layer edit page)
2. change option “Controlbox for basemaps/overlays” to hidden
To change this option for all existing maps, please go to Tools, select the status hidden on option “Controlbox for basemaps/overlays” and press the button “change controlbox status for all markers” and do the same for layer maps (scroll down for this) and press the button “change controlbox status for all layers” there
To change the default setting when creating new maps, please go to Settings / “Default values for new marker maps” or “Default values for new layer maps” and set the option “Controlbox for basemaps/overlays” to hidden and press the button “save changes”.
best,
Robert
Hey Robert,
Based what I see it looks awesome. I’m working on a project, mind I have zero programming skills. Now to the question, I would like to utilize the mapping with star rating system . Is it possible. Meaning, let say I am looking for a coffee shop in different locations under different ownership and franchise I would like to star rate them and leave a comment and show them on a map. Also perhaps future customers can see the blogs and they can rate the coffee shop for their service etc etc. bottom line how can I integrate this with a rating systems? I hope I have been clear enough. I appreciate to get an answer and would be an awesome project for you folks as well to have that in place. Or any directions.
Hi,
thanks for your interest in my plugin! Using a rating system might not be that difficult – I just dont see this as a feature that will be integrated in my plugin – I´d go the following approach:
– use a custom post type where you add custom fields for each characteristic of coffee shop you would like to record.
– add a map for each coffeeshop and add it via shortcode to the posts
– use a rating plugin like http://v1.gdstarrating.com/ to add the rating functionality to your posts – this is a very flexible and powerful plugin for ratings and I am sure it would fit your needs

Hi!
Why I cant create new topic here? I get a problem and found a solving, but I cant post it in this forum.
Hi Geleosan,
according to wordpress.org rules, support for premium plugins is not allowed in this forum. If you found a problem and a solution for the pro version, please open a support ticket at http://mapsmarker.com/login or if it affects the free version, please open a support ticket on wordpress.org. A message via http://mapsmarker.com/contact is also possible.
Anyway I guess you are referring to the issue of broken maps after the update to the latest free+pro version (if you change the settings to not automatically add the directions link to popups). This issue has just been hotfixed and is now included in updates (free+pro) from now on – see http://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-maps-after-update-to-387-fix-available-here?replies=1 for more details for this fix for the free version.
best,
Robert
