Map Markers and popup data

[agilityhive]

Hi,

Background:
My app has 2 relevent datatypes,
Show
Venue

Each Show has a Venue, and each Venue has a geographic address.
The shows themselves therefore do not have a direct address/location value

I want to display the shows on a map, and when you click on the marker have a pop up with details about that show.

I can create the map with geographic addresses, but then cannot sent the show data to the popup.

If I change the map to type of markers show I can’t access the location to place the marker on the map?

Is there a way to do this?

Just an idea:

Set the type of markers to Show and set the Data source to Search for Shows
For the geographic address use: This Show’s Venue’s Venue_Location
Then you should be able to reference This Map’s current marker (Show) in your popup

I can’t access This Show’s Venue’s Venue_Location for the address field as this is not an option, the dropdown here is blank and ir doesn’t ask for dynamic data.

I tried it out and got it working—here’s a loom walkthrough. I hope it helps!

Hi Rachael,

Thank you for your time and help.

I can certainly show the venue details for a show on the page, the issue is showing it from the map.

The map will show a list of geographic venues, but what I want to do is click on the map marker and in a pop up be able to display the show details. I can’t pass the map a list of shows as the shows do not have a direct location in the datatype.

Oh, gotcha! What map are you using? The clickable map marker feature works with the google map plugin, I think
