Home › Forums › Front-end Issues › Google Map Grey > User Profile
Hi there
I am trying to display the location on a user’s map in his frontend profile.
The issue is that the map is shown in gray.
I pass the code that I have implemented:
In css:
.acf-map {
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
border: #ccc solid 1px;
margin: 20px 0;
}
.acf-map img {
max-width:inherit !important;
}
In js:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCEtGGcK-UdAY7HpEnNxwRTywZlvBM0p1U"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
/*
* new_map
*
* This function will render a Google Map onto the selected jQuery element
*
* @type function
* @date 8/11/2013
* @since 4.3.0
*
* @param $el (jQuery element)
* @return n/a
*/
function new_map( $el ) {
// var
var $markers = $el.find('.marker');
// vars
var args = {
zoom : 16,
center : new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0),
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
// create map
var map = new google.maps.Map( $el[0], args);
// add a markers reference
map.markers = [];
// add markers
$markers.each(function(){
add_marker( $(this), map );
});
// center map
center_map( map );
// return
return map;
}
/*

*
* This function will add a marker to the selected Google Map
*
* @type function
* @date 8/11/2013
* @since 4.3.0
*
* @param $marker (jQuery element)
* @param map (Google Map object)
* @return n/a
*/
function add_marker( $marker, map ) {
// var
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( $marker.attr('data-lat'), $marker.attr('data-lng') );
// create marker
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position : latlng,
map : map
});
// add to array
map.markers.push( marker );
// if marker contains HTML, add it to an infoWindow
if( $marker.html() )
{
// create info window
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content : $marker.html()
});
// show info window when marker is clicked
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open( map, marker );
});
}
}
/*

*
* @type function
* @date 8/11/2013

*/
function center_map( map ) {
// vars
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
// loop through all markers and create bounds
$.each( map.markers, function( i, marker ){
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( marker.position.lat(), marker.position.lng() );
bounds.extend( latlng );
});
// only 1 marker?
if( map.markers.length == 1 )
{
// set center of map
map.setCenter( bounds.getCenter() );
map.setZoom( 16 );
}
else
{
// fit to bounds
map.fitBounds( bounds );
}
}
/*
* document ready
*
* This function will render each map when the document is ready (page has loaded)
*
* @type function

*/
// global var
var map = null;
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.acf-map').each(function(){
// create map
map = new_map( $(this) );
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
In the php:
<?php
$location = get_field('location','user_'. $vendor_id);
if( !empty($location) ):
?>
<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
NOTE: I use the WC Vendors plugin.
Sorry for my English, its a Google Translation..
Thanks,

Hi @agenciazaro
The Google map API will not work as expected if initialized on a hidden element. When the element is show, the map will not display. Please try and trigger the ‘resize’ event on the map variable after the map element is visible.
// popup is shown and map is not visible
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
Hi. Thanks for your answer!
Sorry but I do not understand where I have to put that code. I do not understand anything about js haha.
Could you specifically tell me where I should place that code?
Thank you again!
regards
Hi @agenciazaro
You should call the code after the map is created, preferably on this line:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.acf-map').each(function(){
// create map
map = new_map( $(this) );
// popup is shown and map is not visible
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
});
});

Hi James – thanks for your response here. I’ve got the same issue, the map is displaying grey and buggy. You can see mine here: http://www.coolbreeze2200.com
I’ve tried the above but my .js code is just slightly different, and I don’t know enough JS to make the adjustment. My code looks like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.acf-map').each(function(){
// create map
map = new_map( $(this) );
render_map( $(this) );
});
});
How would I alter your above solution accordingly? Or is there another reason for the grey box I may be missing?
Thanks again,
Brian
