Hi,
I have place catagories set and some places are in multiple catagories. When selecting the pins on the map key i get the default catagory pin showing up on the map and i would rather have the pin for the catagory selected in the map manu. Is there any way arround this please.
the site is offroadfun.org for an examplw, if you select just the Accomodation catagory in the key you can see there are mainly House pins but there are also a couple of flags and a blue pin. These are for two other catagories. i would like all house pins for accomodation and so on for all place catagories. Can anyone advise a solution please?

Thanks

Hi,

listings will use the map marker of the category that has been selected has default. So the listings that have the Club category as default will show that marker.

That is how it works.

Thanks

This was not thae case in onder versions as we have just transfered this site to the latest versions of PHP and Geodirectory. The old site showed the pin for the catagory selected in the map key. Do you know if this has been refined in recent versions? I can supply a host file line to view the old site if needed.

Thanks

As far as I know it works like this since we started, I asked to the developers to confirm or let us know when it’s been changed in case I’m wrong.

Thanks

Yes by default is has always shown the place default marker, i have made it show the cat marker if there is only 1 cat selected, please replace this file in your core plugin:
https://github.com/GeoDirectory/geodirectory/blob/master/geodirectory-functions/map-functions/get_markers.php

Thanks,

Stiofan

Hi Stiofan,
I have tried that code but it does not solve my problem. If you go to offroadfun.org and deselect all except “Accomodation”. You will see the majority are houses but there are also a couple of Blue pins and a couple of car pins.
Lets take the lower of the two blue pins to examine.
This is a place that offers “Experience Days” but also offers “Accommodation”.
The default category for this place is “Experience Days” so you get the blue pin when searching for Accommodation. This is because the place offers Accommodation as well but the primary category is Experience Days.
This looks messy when you are using multiple categories.
I would like the pin for Accommodation to show for all when only accommodation is selected and not their default category pin.
Am i going about the structure of this the wrong way?

Thanks

Hi,
Some additional issues with the treeview main_list. The second category in set 1 character to the left and looks out of place with the rest.
We still have the old site running but you will need to put an entry in your host file to see it.
###################################
88.208.252.207 http://www.offroadfun.org
###################################
On the old site you only see the pins for the category selected in the treeview mail_list.
I have been thorough everything and can’t seem to get them to line up or show the pin for the category selected. This is starting to become a problem with the aesthetics of the site.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

That file should only show one cat icon if only one cat set, are u sure u have it installed on the correct site?

For the icons, this is due to the aspect ratio of the icon image, if they were all the same it would be the same, u could try fixing the width with css but it would stretch the marker icon image.

Thanks Stiofan,
The old site is on a different host server and the DNS all points to the new site now.
I’ve kept the old site on the old host server and built the new site from scratch on a new host.
Pin size and alignment may be what you said, i will get a new set of icons for them all to check.
I will try your file again and make sure i flush the cashe and let you know.

Thanks again

An odd size icon was causing the problem. I’ve put up some temp icons and this resolved the issue.
I will get/make a new set all the same size.

Thanks again for all your help.
