Hi Beee,
This the famous GoogleMap bug 🙂
The problem is that the height is not known when the map is created (100% is not a size, you have to set a number of px)
check out the implementation of this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fi-events-manager-addons

I set the size in pixels in the settings (just now) and I uploaded map-global.php but that doesn’t seem to take any effect.

I uploaded map-global.php to my theme directory but also to the plugin directory. I keep getting 100% defined even though it’s removed from the template.
Annoying is it not ?
There is another catch: GoogleMap does not initialize maps properly in a hidden container.
So what you want is this:
– Your .verberg div containing the .em-location-map-container should not be hidden but with a height:0px
– Your .em-location-map-container should have a overflow:hidden and an absolute height (has you did with 300px)
– When .toon is clicked you have to animate the .verberg div to change height from 0px to 300px

A bit yes, this plugin always works nice, but this is the first time (that I know of) something is not working as it should (as in the theme override).
I will try to work in those heights tonight and then I’ll check by disabling all plugins (which use jquery) to see if that helps a bit…
Please don’t blame this plugin (or other plugins or themes) 🙂
It is really a GoogleMap issue …
Just google ‘google map jquery hide show’ to see how many people are struggling with it
Cheers
thanks @franceimage 🙂
@beee, can you share with us a sample link for us to see?

I’m not blaming this plugin for this error, but it seems the template map-global.php doesn’t get read if I overwrite it in my theme directory.
Or I’m wrong in assuming that map-global.php is used when #_eventmap is used.
@ angelo see my first message
I see, I didn’t noticed the Click here for map; sorry about that
however, could it be because of your toggle function on map? what happens when the map loads instantly or normally without clicking on “Click here for map”?

I don’t see where verberg is hidden.
I added the codes to my css but unfortunately it’s not working yet.
<!-- script voor uitklappers -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.freerides.org/wp-content/themes/v0.2/js/general.js"></script>
There is a jQuery(“.verberg”).hide(); in it

AAAHHH I thought you meant css wise…
I will make some changes… to be continued… 🙂

Hiding jQuery(“.verberg”).hide(); did the trick in positioning it properly but now it shows immediately upon load.

Can NE1 tell me if I’m correct to assume that map-global.php should overwrite the showing of the map in this situation ?
edit: just found out, I have to use locationmap.php instead of map-global.php.
So going into the retry with an edited template now…
re-edit: just tried it and changes take effect (as in code changes), but map is still expanded upon load and collapses on click.
Isn’t there a simple way to reverse it ? Fold on load, expand on click ?

I’ve managed to not show the map upon load with the .verberg { height: 0; } but what css to use to define it when clicked/open because now I can’t open it anymore.
I tried
.open .verberg { height:325px; }
and
.active .verberg { height:325px; }
but I’m no star in jquery (this script was taken from the univeristy’s website I work at, but they don’t use it for maps but for text only).
