Zoom level of Google Map

[Joe]

What could I do to change the default zoom level of the embedded Google Map? I found tribe_get_embedded_map() in google-map.php, but I’m not seeing where to modify zoom or other marker settings.

[Joe]

Never mind! Found it in admin-views/event-map.php right after I posted that.

Excellent to see you got this figured out. If anything else comes up or if you have other questions, let me know…happy to help.

I modified the event-map.php, uploaded it to my /events template files, but I am not seeing a change. Default was 8, I set to 15. See http://orbike.com/beta/event/worst-day-of-the-year-ride/

Any suggestions?

[Rob]

Are you using the 2.0.3 tagged code, Brad, or something else? If you are on the 2.0.3 code…you created a new “events” folder in your theme directory and accomplished the traditional template override correctly? Just want to make sure so I can get another dev to take a look as needed.

I need to change the zoom level of the maps but the file admin-views/event-map.phpis not present in the plugin folder. How can I acheive this?

[Rob]

Hey Mike. Thanks for the note; I’m seeing that file just fine. My guess is you’re looking in the PRO add-on folder’s “admin views” section, rather than the free The Events Calendar? It’d be in the latter.

Let me know if you can’t find it there and I can troubleshoot as needed. Cheers!

[Mike]

Thanks, I was!

However, changing the value in this line:

zoom:

doesn’t seem to make any difference, am I doing something wrong?

It still makes sense to be able to change this on a per venue basis.

[Rob]

Hey Mike: thanks for confirming. Have you updated to 2.0.4 yet? If so, you won’t even have to dig that deep – it’ll be controlled via a setting under Settings -> The Events Calendar. Let me know if you still have problems from there.

Currently the zoom is tied together on event maps vs venue maps, but I agree that a separate control should be available and have noted this to the team. No guarantees as to when such a feature will make it in but it is on the radar. Let us know if you need anything else here.

[Mike]

Cool, thanks Rob, hadn’t seen that setting there.

[Rob]

Awesome. Thanks for confirming. Sounds like you’re all set but let me know if not!
