Hi! Thank you for using the plugin! Unfortunately it is not possible to have a flag always display. I’t only possible to have a single image used as a marker. You can however display different images inside the tooltip that displays when you hover a region. You can use HTML code to display any image you want. I see you also sent an email, I’ll also reply as soon as possible. Greetings, Carlos

..And is it possible to make a pop up with three links in the tool tip?

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin! Unfortunately this is not possible. It’s not possible to have multiple regions highlight at the same time on hover. You can however have multiple links in the tooltip and set it to open on click or open a lightbox with the 3 links. Write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and I’ll provide you some workarounds for the multiple regions hover issue. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! The plugin generates the maps using the Google Visualization API, in particular the Geocharts. The API is currently FREE and have no limitations. More information here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart

However, depending on how you build your map, the plugin might need the Geocoding API when the maps are built using the ‘Markers – Text Locations’ mode for example, where the markers are added using text, like an address or a name of a city. In this case the markers will only display if the a valid Google API Key is added in the settings. This will allow the map to convert the text into coordinates. But it’s possible to workaround this and use coordinates directly.

More information here: https://cmoreira.net/interactive-world-maps-demo/create-a-map-without-needing-the-google-maps-api-key/

So currently the plugin is not limited by the new Google Maps API limits.

Greetings, Carlos

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin. Unfortunately not, it’s not possible to customize the areas. The plugin only works with the maps already provided. If you have any other question let me know. Greetings, Carlos

Hi Gary I visited https://everything-everywhere.com/country-list/ with Chrome and it seems to be working for me. Could it be a cache issue or maybe it was a temporary issue? But the console does report some errors from Google about the API Key not being valid. This would be the reason why the ‘search lat/long’ form wouldn’t work, since google now enforces a valid API Key. I released an update today, does the problem persists after you install the most recent version and empty the site and browser cache? Greetings, Carlos

Hi! I’m releasing an update which should become available in the next few hours where this will be fixed. Thank you for reporting and I’m sorry for this issue. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! It could be an issue with the autooptimize plugin. Try disabling temporarily just to check if it’s something related to that. If the problem persists, try creating a test page, just with the map on it to see if it makes a difference. If the problem persists, write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab sharing the link to the test page you created. Greetings, Carlos

Deactivating the plugin didn’t do anything. The map does work on the test page, just not on the page I need it to work on. Sending you a message now. Thank you!

Most likely something else on the page is interfeering. We’ll follow up using email. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! Thank you for purchasing! About your questions:

1) You will need to create a separate map for the labels and then use this technique: https://cmoreira.net/interactive-world-maps-demo/advanced-tips/overlay-maps-regions-map-markers-text-labels/

2) 3) The tooltips use the class .google-visualization-tooltip and it includes an unordered list (ul li) and maybe we can use that to make the necessary manipulations. I can help with this if you have trouble doing it.

4) Unfortunately it’s not possible to use different hover colours at the moment, only the same for all. This limitation comes from the Google Geochart API, which the plugin uses to generate the maps, which doesn’t even offer the option to have a hover colour, but I implemented a workaround to at least have one hover colour. Sorry for the limitations.

You can write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab with any follow up questions. We can then use email to follow up. Greetings, Carlos

Thanks for the prompt response. Will do so if I need any further help.

Hi! Yes, you can add data using a specific CSV format. Some examples:

https://pastebin.com/8Vmwek05 https://pastebin.com/egqaNdLK https://pastebin.com/JPL2E1Zb https://pastebin.com/7hj8F2eC This is the format:

Region Code, Tooltip Title, Tooltip Text, Action Value, HTML Color Value;

Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos

Appreciate the response.

I have just purchased this.

Hi! What error are you getting when editing the maps that you can’t edit? For the links not working, can you share a link to the page where this is happening? If you prefer, send me a message using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and we can follow up using email. Greetings, Carlos

I have excel sheet with pin name, latitude, longitude. Can i import this directly?

Hi You can use the following CSV format:

Latitude Longitude, Tooltip Title, Tooltip Text, Action Value, HTML Color Value;

Example: https://pastebin.com/raw/8Vmwek05 You’ll need to format the content you have this way to make it possible to import (using the advanced tab in the interactive regions section). The plugin should include maps for all countries, as they load from the Google Geochart API. If you have any other question feel free to write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! If you’re using regions mode, you can set the inactive regions to ‘transparent’ and they won’t display. You can also set the inactive regions border to 0 in the custom css generator. If you’re using Markers mode, it requires some extra steps, explained here: https://cmoreira.net/interactive-world-maps-demo/advanced-tips/hide-neighbouring-countries-markers-mode/ Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos

Awesome thanks Carlos!

Hi! Yes, you can use that functionality in the settings. You’ll need to add the full url to the image you want to use as marker and then select the ‘image marker’ display mode. Greetings, Carlos

Ok awesome thanks Carlos!

Hi Double check if the update was done correctly, try uploading the files again and empty your browser cache to make sure the latest version of the plugins are loaded. It could also be a syntax issue from the region code you’re adding. If the problem persists, send me a message using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin! The current version doesn’t include a map for Quebec alone, but I think I can help. Write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and we can follow up using email. I have a solution for you. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin. You’ll have to use some custom css. If you write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab sharing the link to the page where you have the map I can give you some pointers. Greetings, Carlos

Ah, I just saw you can achieve what I require with the coordinates. Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for using the plugin! The current version of the plugin currently doesn’t include a map of UK divided by counties, so you would have to use markers with coordinates. If you prefer to have the map of the counties, write me using the ‘contact author’ option in the support tab and I might be able to provide a workaround. Greetings, Carlos

Hi! You can trigger custom javascript code when someone clicks a region, selecting the ‘custom action’ option in the ‘active region action’. Some users where able to incorporate google analytics click tracking codes for example. Hope it helps. Greetings, Carlos

Ok awesome, thanks!

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the plugin. This is more or less possible, but you’ll have to create an interface between the API and the map to format the data accordingly before sending it to the map. I can send some code examples of how it should look like. And the legend below the map would be fixed. It would always be the same 6 colors right? Greetings, Carlos
