Maps Shortcode and post code

Hi,

In your documents on your website you have this in the shortcode section:

[locations_map]
Inserts a map of multiple locations. Accepts any of the event, location and general search attributes, as well as these two:

On the “search attribute” page one of the attributes is the following

search
Do a search for this string within event name, details and location address.

My goal is to have one input box where someone can type in either a postcode, address or town. That value will be inputted into the shortcode [locations_map search="$Search_value"].

In regards to the 5.5 map issue. It is on my developing server.
I believe that I am having the same issue that many others are having with 5.5. The maps do not load. Im not sure if you have a fix for it yet though. Unfortunately there are multiple threads with map issues, will you be able to link me to the thread that has the correct workaround/solution?

hi on all my browsers all issuess point to the following line . google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function(){ if( !em_maps_loaded ) em_maps(); });

in the events-manager.js file

Hi, Angelo.

I upgraded to 5.5 only on my development server. The live server http://www.thevibesign.com is still running the old version of events manager(unfortunatley I cant turn maintenance mode off because Im at work so only the splash page is available). Maybe you may be able to help me find google api instances that are running that may conflict.

Thanks,

Hi both, thanks for your input.
Since you are working on the issue, do you recommend that I wait for an update before I upgrade events manager on my live server?

Or Will you have time to be able to provide me with a quicker workaround if I upgrade the plugin on my live site so you can check it.

If the latter, I would like to know if the upgrade totally reversible? (As in i can just replace the Events manager 5.5 folder in the wp-plugins with the old-version if my site messes up).

Hi, Your latest update fixed the maps. They now load. However I still cannot get the maps to pinpoint a user specified location.

[locations_map width=”1250″ height=”500″ POSTCODE=”sw17 7tr” ].

I would like the map to center on the postcode specified in the map shortcode once it loads. How can I do this?

Hi, it doesn’t work.

I want the map to center on that custom postcode so that users can see the location posts around it.

I thought it was because I do not have a location post with that postcode.

What doesn’t make sense to me is that I tried it with the postcodes from my location posts and it still did not center.
