When starting with a new site

  2. Go to Ultimate Member > Settings > Map and enter the meta_key(s) of the address fields you setup in step 1
  3. Go to Ultimate Member > Member Directories, click on the directory where you want the map to appear.
  4. Slide Enable Map to Yes.
  5. Choose the options you would like, or just use the defaults. See a list of options below. Update the directory.
  6. Add a user with a valid address
  7. That’s it! You should now see the user on the map on the directory page.

maps-settings

When you already have members with addresses

  1. Go to Ultimate Member > Settings > Map and enter the meta_key(s) of the address fields that are in use.
  2. Click on the Geocode all users in DB button. If you have a lot of users or if your server has short execution limits you can limit the number of users being geocoded in a session.
  3. Follow steps 3 – 5 in above list.
  4. Delete the user cache on Ultimate Member > Dashboard under the User Cache block.
  5. That’s it! There should now be a map with all your users on the directory page

Map Options

maps-directory-settings

Shortcode

Output a members map on any page (without the directory) using the following shortcode [pp_maps]. The following parameters can be used:

  • roles: The slug of the user roles that should be displayed (one or more)
  • type: The map type: road, satellite, hybrid or terrain
  • icon: A custom icon to be used on the map, if a user role has an icon set in the user role settings that will be used, otherwise the default icon will be used.
  • fields: comma separated list of user fields that should be displayed in the info window (using the meta_key). E.g. ‘description’ is the meta_key for the user bio.
  • showavatar: 0 to NOT show the user profile pic in info window. Default is to show avatar.
  • maxzoom: Set maximum zoom level between 1 and 21 (smaller number allows for less zoom)
  • initialzoom: Set initial zoom level between 1 and 21 (smaller number allows for less zoom) or leave blank to fit map to pins
  • scroll: 0 to disable mouse scrolling on map
  • lat: Latitude to center the map on, e.g. -28. Must be used in conjunction with long
  • long: Longitude to center the map on, e.g. 153. Must be used in conjunction with lat

For example:

[pp_maps roles='member, admin' height='400' type='satellite' icon='http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/micons/blue.png' fields='description' showavatar='1' maxzoom='16' initialzoom='6' scroll='0' lat='-28' long='153']

Other options

maps-user-settingsCustom icon per user role

If you have various user roles and want a global map with all users on, you can set a custom icon for each user role. Simply edit the User Roles and enter a URL to an icon under Map Options.

 

Debugging

If you enable the map, but it is not displaying it is most likely, because there are no users with an address.

If there are users with addresses make sure that the address is ‘valid’ by checking whether Google Maps can find the address when searching for it on maps.google.com.

On the Maps Settings page, you can also use the bulk geocode function to see if the geocoding has failed or not.

On the Users page, there is a column which shows whether a user has been geocoded or not.

Another way to debug whether it is the geocoding that is not working or the map itself is to add two fields to the user form with the meta keys: geo_latitude and geo_longitude. These fields can be set to be only visible to admin. After editing and updating a user’s profile (with an address) the newly created geo fields should be populated. If it is not populated it could indicate that the geocoding did not work.

If the geocoding worked (i.e. the geo fields have values in them), but the map is still not appearing, there could be a conflict with another plugin or theme. Please check the debug console (F12 on most browsers).

The geo fields can also be used to manually adjust the exact location if google get’s it wrong.

Our new plugin adds a critical UX improvement to Ultimate Member

We’ve just released our latest plugin – Ultimate Member Tabs Pro.

As with all our other plugins the need for this one arose from using UM ourselves. And one of the biggest user experience issues we’ve had is that UM forces you to add all user fields in one big form in the main profile tab.

Like me, you’ve probably also tried embedding a UM Form into a custom profile tab and found it doesn’t work, as the “form” actually contains the entire profile. So adding a profile shortcode into a custom tab creates an infinite loop. For quite a while we just ignored this issue and accepted that that’s just how UM works.

Until my colleague Hugo mentioned this issue a few days ago and I realized that this problem can be solved with our Ultimate Member Tabs plugin and a custom form template. The result is a critical UX improvement to UM and we’ve already installed this plugin on our managed UM sites to amazing feedback.

And just because we’re so happy to have solved this problem, here’s a 30% discount code valid for the first three users for Ultimate Member Tabs Pro: tabsprolaunch

New plugin release: Ultimate Member Contact Form

We’ve just released our fifth plugin – Ultimate Member Contact Form.

Many of our clients have requested something like this in the past few weeks, so we’ve decided to build a robust plugin that can easily be configured for any site that needs a way for visitors and members to contact each other via email, but without exposing the user’s email address for all the world.

This plugin is quite nifty if you have some sort of listing board and want people to be able to contact your users to request a quote, for example. It could also serve as a simple replacement for the official messaging plugin if you’re looking for something more lightweight.

Check out the download page for more details, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the plugin, or have a suggestion on how we can extend the plugin to be even more useful.

This article provides instructions on how to add a contact form to member profiles on your Ultimate Member site.
