Google Maps Coordinates

[Adage]

Hello,
I have enabled Google Maps coordinates and it works well on the mini map, but it doesn’t by clicking the “+ google map” button on the venue : it shows the address instead of the coordinates.
Thank you.

Hi Adage. Thanks for your question.

I tried to replicate your issue and this is how things worked for me:

• Venue edit screen: http://cl.ly/1Z0Q210m3D42
• Front-end event view with event at that Venue: http://cl.ly/280C0y2r3B0B

Please let me know if things are different on your site.

The screenshots show precisely the problem.
I don’t want the Google Maps to use an Addresse : I want it to use ONLY the coordinates.
Please see here : http://sortir.adage.bf/evenement/alcina-de-georg-friedrich-haendel/
The mini map of the Venue is OK on this page, but when I click “+ Google Map”, the Google Map shows this page https://www.google.com/maps/search/01+BP+561+Ouagadougou+Burkina+Faso/@37.0625,-95.677068,4z/data=!3m1!4b1?hl=en, which I don’t want : I want it to show the right coordinates, not the address.
Thank you.

Could you please send a screenshot of that Venue’s wp-admin edit page?

[Adage]

Here is it.
Thank you.

I entered the address only: http://cl.ly/0O2z0g2b1O1f — database view: http://cl.ly/0e1r371U4545

Then added the custom lat/long: http://cl.ly/2u222c0I3T0R — database view: http://cl.ly/0u433G3t3Y3M

Resulted in the same link that your site produced: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=01+BP+561+Ouagadougou+Burkina+Faso

I manually created this link to see if it’ll work and it seems to have: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=12.3702296,-1.5279159 –> http://cl.ly/0l051k39350F

Please confirm if that is the link you’d prefer or if you were thinking of something else.

Hello and thank you.
http://cl.ly/0l051k39350F is in deed the right position of the venue.
But I need the “+ Google Map” link on the Venue page to link to that same coordinates, instead of using the address.
Thank you.

Thank you for confirming.

I’ll mark this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed as it’s in the development team’s hands now. They need to assign it, code it, test it, and schedule it for release. I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

In case you’re interested, the code that generates this link is at https://github.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/blob/4.1.3/src/Tribe/Main.php#L2920 and we can see that it’s building its URL from 'address', 'city', 'region', 'zip', 'country' and not accounting for Pro’s '_VenueLat', '_Venue_Lng' fields.
