Google map resizing on the single venue page?

[James]

Hi,

With regards to the google map that shows on the Venue page, my map seem to be a little on the small size about 491px x 211px.

To get an idea of sizing check https://www.jamesdoylephoto.com/?p=34282

On the Event page the size is about right at 588px x 363px.

How do I change the size on the Venue page to a larger size?

Also, is there a way to have the maps show Satellite view by default?

Thanks for any assistance.

Cheers

James

Hi James,

Thanks for using our plugins.

I can help out here.

You are going to want to follow our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

To move and edit this file:

events-calendar-pro\views\pro\single-venue.php

In 3.10 it will be in this location:

events-calendar-pro\src\views\pro\single-venue.php

To this file in your theme:

yourtheme\tribe-events\pro\single-venue.php

There you can modify this line:

<?php echo tribe_get_embedded_map( $venue_id, '100%', '200px' ); ?>

Change that 200px to the height you would like.

For the width try out this css and change the percentage (default is 50%)

.tribe-events-venue .tribe-events-venue-meta .tribe-events-map-wrap {
width: 60%;
}

Add that css to your theme’s stylesheet or through a plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.

Also, is there a way to have the maps show Satellite view by default?

There is no option to default to Satellite. Although you could try modifying it if you really like. I outline steps how to do that here:

How to change default gmap view to satellite – on events and venues

Let me know how the Venue Map Size works out.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

That worked a treat thanks! About a minute and it was done.

I haven’t done anything with the using Satellite by default, looks a bit complicated for me.

As always, great support from you guys and gals, there at Tribe!

Go ahead and close this thread if you want Brian.

Cheers
