Easily add locations and maps to your Groups in BuddyPress or the BuddyBoss Platform!
Site administrators can set parameters for both Single Group maps and the All Groups Map via wp-admin > Settings > BP Maps – Groups.
A location field can be created during Group creation or on a Group > Manage screen.
Locations are created via the Google Places API so addresses are uniform and searchable via text search or radial distance from a specified point.
If a Group has an address, a Location tab will appear and will link to the Map for that Group.
A Map tab is added to the Groups Directory. A member will see all public Groups that have addresses. And any private or hidden Groups that they belong to. Clicking a map marker will open an info box that includes a link to that Group.
To show the Groups Map on any page, use the shortcode [groupsmap].
If you have the BP Maps for Members plugin, version 6.3 or higher, you will see an additional section in the Settings for BP Maps for Groups. It will show an option to let group administrators display a map of all group members that have a valid location. The group administrator can then activate that map by selecting it in the Manage tab under Members Map.
BP Maps for Groups requires WordPress 4.0 or higher and BuddyPress 2.2 or higher.
It is compatible with the latest versions of WordPress, BuddyPress and the BuddyBoss Platform.
Your purchase includes a single site License Key that provides support and automatic Update Notices for one year.
Are you able to set your group’s market locations with lat/long coordinates using this plugin?
If you mean – can you manually enter lat/long coordinates directly?
Then the answer is no. You need to enter an address. And the lat/long is determined by that address.
Hi, it is posible to also show the group members location in the map? Like https://www.philopress.com/products/bp-maps-for-members/ but just in the group.
See next post…
Version 5.0 of this plugin now provides an option to show a group members map in each group – but only if you also have the BP Maps for Members plugin, version 6.3 or higher.
