I am using a Google Map Plugin, This One to be exact.
Anyways that google map plugin gives me the options to change some settings like custom markers and a lot of other useful things. So I changed the main marker with my own image and it works great on my static HTML site but in Wordpress it does not and this is why.
So lets say I load the plugin in as so:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/gmaps.js"></script>
now I have some options I can change in my footer or in WORDPRESS through my themes_js and load that in my functions.php and here they are:
var map = new GMaps({
div: '#map',
lat: 94.09454,
lng: -219.35574
});
map.drawOverlay({
lat: 94.09454,
lng: -219.35574,
content: '<div class="map-logo"><img src="images/logo.png" alt=""></div>'
});
Now the problem is in content when I try to change my image Wordpress will not get the image if it's just src="images/logo.png"
it would have to be src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png"
and the thing is the themes.js file I call all my javascript in wont read PHP and I need to use <?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>
.
So how can I go about showing my image because the only way I can customize it is through the parameters they have provided through javascript and I can't just use HTML to call my custom marker image called logo.
Im sure im not the only one that has ran into a problem like so. Anyone have an idea??
UPDATE
So I have tried the wp_localize_script method and 2 things happen.
- I dont see my image not as in a broken link but cannot see it at all
- my entire URL displays in the header for some reason
Here is my functions.php where I called the wp_localize_script:
/**
* Enqueue scripts and styles.
*/
function loading() {
global $wp_scripts;
wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'main-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
wp_enqueue_style( 'owlcarousel_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/owl-carousel/owl.carousel.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'owltheme_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/owl-carousel/owl.theme.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'animate_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/animate.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'google_fonts', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,300italic,400italic,600,600italic,700,700italic,800,800italic' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'bootstrap_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/bootstrap.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'owl_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/owl-carousel/owl.carousel.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'theme_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/theme.js', array('jquery', 'bootstrap_js'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'viewport_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.viewportchecker.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script( 'maps_js', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/gmaps.js', array('jquery'), '', true );
wp_enqueue_script('maps_custom', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/maps-custom.js');
wp_localize_script('maps_custom', 'mapsCustom', array(
'templateUrl' => bloginfo('template_directory'),));
wp_register_script ('html5_shiv', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js', '', '', false );
wp_register_script ('respond_js', 'https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.4.2/respond.min.js', '', '', false );
$wp_scripts->add_data( 'html5_shiv', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
$wp_scripts->add_data( 'respond_js', 'conditional', 'lt IE 9' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'loading' );
and here is the maps_js that I call my map on:
jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) {
var href = mapsCustom.templateUrl + '/images/logo.png';
var map = new GMaps({
div: '#map',
lat: 22.22222,
lng: -22.22222
});
map.drawOverlay({
lat: 22.22222,
lng: -22.22222,
content: $href
});
});
