Google maps default position on ocean atlantic

The sequence is latitude and longitude, separated by a comma and no space.

This is exactly the format I use. Ej: “40.4167754,-3.7037901999999576”

In html source I see that lng and lat isn’t assigned:

var def_longval = 0;
var def_latval = 0;

but the values are correctrly saved in “Default Co-ordinate”…

Well, I think I have find the problem. I use the field in a registration form and when a user access to it the post_id for the map function is the user id. When it’s the first time the user access it don’t have the meta assigned BUT don’t use the default value. I have solved changing this:

       if ( $post_id ) {
            list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $value );
        } else {
            list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $attr['default_pos'] );
        }

to this

       if ( $post_id ) {
            list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $value );
        }
        if (!$def_lat&&!$def_long) {
            list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $attr['default_pos'] );
        }

the problem will append the same in a post form.

the file is “class/render-form.php”

Right, that must be the problem.

Hi Tareq, can you include this fix in your future releases ? or another one you think its better. Without it, default position don’t work correctly for user profile forms.

Thanks.

Hi,

how can i read the position from the browser? That’s imho the solutioin…

Reading position from browser isn’t possible right now from the plugin.

Ok, i changed default to Berlin.

That’s easy – go to maps – set cursor where you want – right click what is here — you got the coordinates.
go to render-form.php in class and change code like this around line 1471

  if ( $post_id ) {
            list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $value );
        } else {

// add this line
$koordinaten = "52.536273,13.405852";  
// Comment out this line           
 //list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $attr['default_pos'] );
// Add this line         
   list( $def_lat, $def_long ) = explode( ',', $koordinaten );
        }
