Force Map to Centre or Exclude Outlying listings

I wonder if maybe I could add a function that did this bit

 // Untick the category by default on home map
                if ($is_home_map && $geodir_home_map_untick = get_option('geodir_home_map_untick')) {
                    if (!empty($geodir_home_map_untick) && in_array($post_type . '_' . $cat_term->term_id, $geodir_home_map_untick)) {
                        $checked = '';
                    }
                }

which I found in geodirectory-functions/map-functions/map_functions.php

If I could add something in my functions.php file that did THAT – but applied it to the listing map then maybe I could exclude the turkish listing from the map – and then the map would center where I need it to??

what do you think?

Hi Thanks.. that’s because we’ve had to put the turkish listing in “draft” mode – to keep the map from centering on Germany!

if you look in drafts you’ll see a turkish listing there and if y ou activate it. you’ll see a lovely, empty map of germany.

Thanks
.

no.. that wouldn’t work. I thought maybe if I gave turkey a special category.. that somehow I could make just that category not show… but it’s well beyond me.

When it zooms out to include turkey the bulk of our listings appear like a giant mass of colour and it looks absolutely terrible.

just to be clear.. that function above would work if this were the main page, rather than the listing page right?

thanks.. yes.. I understand it’s not the system.

Maybe a suggestion for future updates. a feature that allows you to specify map zoom/centre for listing map ? 🙂

thanks anyway!
