How to make visitors see position in the map

[Daniele]

Hi, how is it possible to show to visitors of my site, exactly where they are in the map view?

Hey Daniele,

To do that would unfortunately require a lot of custom code, far too much code for the scope of our support forums I’m afraid 🙁

You are not, however, the first user to have sought this functionality – it’s “on our map”, to make the pun, and support for the actual user’s location to show up as a marker on the map could very well end up in a future release of Events Calendar Pro.

If of course don’t have any specific dates for when something like that could be released, nor 100% certainty that this will be released, but just wanted to note that we have been listening to customers and are aware of the utility of this feature for some users.

If you’re able to work with the Google Maps API JavaScript at all, then you might be able to start building out something useful for this by turning SCRIPT_DEBUG on in your site’s wp-config.php file and modifying Pro’s embdedded-maps.js script.

Otherwise, your best option is to hire someone to build this out for you. We have a list of often-well-reviewed customizers here for starters → https://theeventscalendar.com/find-a-customizer

Sorry to disappoint Daniele! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Thanks,
George

Ok, I understand. Thanks for answering, I hope it will be update soon 🙂
I’d like to ask another question, is it possible to show up only the events in the arc of time of the visitor’ search?

Hey Daniele,

Thanks for the reply – I’m sorry to admit it, but I don’t quite understand what you mean here exactly:

is it possible to show up only the events in the arc of time of the visitor’ search?

Can you elaborate on that and specify exactly what you mean?

Sorry for the misunderstanding! I just want to make sure I understand exactly what you mean so that I can best help you out 🙂

Cheers,
George

ok, sorry for misunderstanding. I mean that if create an event for today at 20.00 and lasts until 22.00, I want it shown only today from 20 to 22.
better? 🙂

Hi, I forgot about another question, is possible to have a shortcode to incorporate the map inside some pages?

[George]

Hey Daniele,

It is unfortunately not possible to include the Map via shortcode 🙁 Sorry to disappoint yet again – please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns here.

Thank you!
George
