Generating automatic maps from custom fields for all posts in a custom post type

[jaycollierParticipant]

Hi!

We love Map Press Pro, and are looking for a specific function. This may be easy, but I haven’t been able to find the right method.

I have a custom post type for which each post has custom fields for latitude and longitude. I have created a template for that post type which displays content for each post.

How can I display a map for each post generated from the latitude and longitude, without having to insert a short code with a map ID?

TIA!

Wait! I think I found it. I set up automatic mapping via custom fields, and then used
<p class=”prettyprint prettyprinted”><span class=”pun”>[</span><span class=”pln”>mashup query</span><span class=”pun”>=</span><span class=”str”>”current”</span><span class=”pun”>]
</span></p>
I think I’m all set. I keep finding more and more great features in this plugin. Thanks, Bill!

Hi,

I’m glad you figured it out.  If it helps, there’s some info about this in the documentation.  One approach is to configure the custom field in the MapPress settings, then save the post(s).  The plugin will generate a map for each post.

You can then enable automatic map display to show each post’s map when the post is viewed, or use a mashup to combine them.

Thanks, Chris! That’s exactly what I did.

How do I remove the hamburger menu upper left that contains the text “Center Map”? I searched for “center map” in the documentation with no hits.

Sorry, it’s not currently possible to remove the hamburger, but you can hide it with CSS:

 

.mapp-menu-toggle { display: none; }

Perfect!

Thanks, again!
