Hi everyone,

I have a js google map which links markers to wordpress post permalinks and I’d like to replace permalinks with another link written in a custom field.

Is it possible?

This is the code

if ( ! _item.location )
return;

if ( $.isArray( _item.location ) && _item.location[0] && _item.location[1] ) {
$map.gmap( ‘addMarker’, {
‘position’ : new google.maps.LatLng( _item.location[0], _item.location[1] ),
‘bounds’ : jobifyMapSettings.center.long && ( jobifyMapSettings.zoom != ‘auto’ ) ? false : true,
‘animation’ : google.maps.Animation.DROP,
‘title’ : _item.title,
‘tooltip’ : false
}, function(map, marker) {
new Tooltip({
marker : marker,
content : _item.title,
cssClass : ‘map-tooltip’
});
}).click(function(event, map) {
window.location = _item.permalink;
});
} else {
convertAddress( _item.location, function( latlong ) {
$map.gmap( ‘addMarker’, {
‘position’ : latlong,
‘bounds’ : jobifyMapSettings.center.long && ( jobifyMapSettings.zoom != ‘auto’ ) ? false : true,
‘animation’ : google.maps.Animation.DROP,
‘title’ : _item.title,
‘tooltip’ : false
}, function(map, marker) {
new Tooltip({
marker : marker,
content : _item.title,
cssClass : ‘map-tooltip’
});
}).click(function(event, map) {
window.location = _item.permalink;
});
}, _item );
}

Thank you in advance

Hi @56kommunikation

Your code shows a small snapshot of the entire picture. It looks like all the market data comes from a variable called _item.

I am not sure how this variable exists, perhaps it is within a loop of items?
On top of that, I don’t know where _item gets any of it’s data. Perhaps from a JSON feed? Perhaps from elements in the DOM using data- tags?

You will need to find where the item data comes from, and find a way to customize the PHP which renders it.

Due to the nature of this question, I won’t be able to provide much help, but perhaps another web developer could provide some freelance services to you?

Thanks
E

Hi Elliot,

I kindly thank you for your answer and availability. I solved the problem myself, variable was in a php file through JSON function.

You are a master!

Thank you
Best
