Home › Forums › Front-end Issues › Google Maps does not load in a Bootstrap modal
I’m new on the platform. I am French, and I translate this text with google translation.
I have a problem with the initialization of Google Maps in my bootstrap modal (Bootstrap version 3.3.7)
I’ve already covered topics and forums, and no solution worked.
When you open the modal (click on the button), the maps appear in a gray box but do not load.
When I change the size of my browser, it loads but is not centered.
How to load the maps directly?
<style type="text/css">
.acf-map {
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
border: #ccc solid 1px;
margin: 20px 0;
}
/* fixes potential theme css conflict */
.acf-map img {
max-width: inherit !important;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=#####"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
// popup is shown and map is not visible

function new_map( $el ) {
// var
var $markers = $el.find('.marker');

var args = {
zoom : 16,

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 );
}
}

// popup is shown and map is not visible

});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
And the integration of the modal bootstrap:
<!-- MAPS -->
<div class="col-md-6 txtmap">
<div class="animated fadeInRightShort" data-id='4'>
<button type="button" class="button button-icon btnprogramme big" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#gmaps">
<i class="fa fa-map-marker"></i>Google Maps</a>
</button>
</div>
</div>
<!-- MODAL MAPS -->
<div class="modal fade" id="gmaps" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel"><?php the_title(); ?> <span>- Google Maps</span></h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<?php
$location = get_field('programme-maps');
if( !empty($location) ):
?>
<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="button alt" data-dismiss="modal">Fermer</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hello !
Here is a screenshot of the result:
And the map appears (but it is not centered) if I modify the window of my browser.
When I look at the ACF documentation, he tells me to insert this code. But I do not know where …
Solving the hidden map issue
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. This scenario is most likely when using a popup modal.
To solve this problem, simply 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');
Thank you very much for your help !
I realize this is an old thread, but where specifically did you paste this code? It may fix an issue I’m having.
