[Resolved] Google Maps for Groups

    Summer Rose on #11061

    I was so excited when I found BuddyPress Simple Google Map as I thought it directly solved my problem.

    It’s a fantastic lightweight plugin, thank you!

    However, it doesn’t appear to address my use case. I need all of the groups in my site to show up on one google map, and ideally be searchable by location as well.

    Kind of like the “find a location nearest me” tool on many websites, but in this case, “find the buddypress group on my site nearest me.”

    Any ideas about how I could add this functionality to my buddypress website?

    Hi Summer,
    Thank you for posting. I haven’t seen anything like this for BuddyPress.

    We are working on one, Things are a little bit out of order due to festive season here in India. we hope to atleast have a demo/prototype by the end of the month,

    Thank you

    Hi Brajesh,

    I was just wondering about your plugin bp-simple-google-map?

    Inserted the Google API no but it doesn’t save.

    Changes to any of the parameters are not saved.

    Any info much appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Val

    Hello Val,

    Hope your are doing well.

    I have tested it today and it is working for me. Please let me know which version of BuddyPress and WordPress are you using?.

    Thanks

    Apologies and please forgive me!. You are correct.

    I can get your plugin to work perfectly in a single site set-up.

    But I am still having difficulties in a multi-site set-up.

    Wordpress 5.1.1 and Buddypress 4.2.

    Any ideas welcome and i appreciate it may well be my own doing!!!

    Thank you,

    Val

    Hi Val,
    No problem.

    Thank you for the details.

    Can you please tell me more about your setup.
    Is BuddyPress network active or is it a BuddyPress multi network setup or something else?

    Also, how is the simple google maps plugin activated? Is it it network active?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi Val,
    Thank you.
    I can see the issue. The Simple Google Map does not work when it is network activated.

    A simple solution is to activate it only on your main site and it will work. Please give it a try.

    Regards

    Thanks, Brajesh.

    But

    network deactivated those two plugins on pulledpages.com.
    also deactivated them in main site wp-admin
    then activated them in main site wp-admin i.e only on the main site
    still no joy.

    it appears that multisite somehow prevents it from working.

    Cheers,

    Val
