Hello,
Does anyone know how I can set satellite map display as default on the backend?
Hi @felipemillhouse
I don’t think this is possible in the plugin yet.
I would recommend that you hook into the Google map API and edit the Map Options object to turn on the Maptype control. This will be done through the following code:
mapTypeControl:true
You can learn more about this here: http://www.w3schools.com/googleapi/google_maps_controls.asp
For the the frontend view, please take a look at this blog: http://biostall.com/advanced-custom-fields-street-view-in-google-map/
Thank you for your Answer James.
Should it work if I changed the “../advanced-custom-fields-pro/fields/google-map.php” file on lines 38, 44 and 104? Being the following form:
Line 38
$this->defaults = array(
'height' => '',
'center_lat' => '',
'center_lng' => '',
'zoom' => '',
'mapTypeId' => 'satellite'
);
Line 44
$this->default_values = array(
'height' => '400',
'center_lat' => '-37.81411',
'center_lng' => '144.96328',
'zoom' => '14',
'mapTypeId' => 'satellite'
);
Line 104
$atts = array(
'id' => $field['id'],
'class' => "acf-google-map {$field['class']}",
'data-lat' => $field['center_lat'],
'data-lng' => $field['center_lng'],
'data-zoom' => $field['zoom'],
'mapTypeId' => 'satellite',
);
Hi @felipemillhouse
I think, instead of modifying the core files, you can use the following code instead:
add_action('acf/input/admin_footer', 'my_acf_change_map_to_satelite');
function my_acf_change_map_to_satelite() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
acf.add_filter('google_map_args', function( args, $field ){
// Change Map to Satellite
args['mapTypeId'] = 'satellite';
// return
return args;
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/adding-custom-javascript-fields/.
I hope this helps 🙂
