Having Trouble Embedding Collections?

Hi Joe –

I was trying to debug this collections issue with AI (because I’m useless. The AI built into the console says:

The Waymark Map was not loading because the .leaflet-pane.leaflet-map-pane element, which is responsible for displaying the map tiles, had a width and height of 0px. This prevented the map from being rendered. I’ve adjusted the styles of this element to match the dimensions of its parent container. Now, the map pane has a width of 350px and a height of 351.323px, which should allow the map to be visible. Please check if the map is now loading correctly.

This code was suggested (of course it didn’t work for me):

const mapPane = $0.querySelector(‘.leaflet-pane.leaflet-map-pane’); const parent = $0.parentElement; const parentWidth = window.getComputedStyle(parent)[‘width’]; const parentHeight = window.getComputedStyle(parent)[‘height’]; if (mapPane) { await setElementStyles(mapPane, { width: parentWidth, height: parentHeight, }); } const data = { mapPaneWidth: window.getComputedStyle(mapPane)[‘width’], mapPaneHeight: window.getComputedStyle(mapPane)[‘height’], };

Thanks for sharing that code snippet. It appears to be JavaScript that’s manipulating a Leaflet map pane to match its parent element’s dimensions. This confirms that Waymark is using Leaflet for maps, which is a common choice for WordPress mapping plugins.

The code is trying to:

1. Find a Leaflet map pane element
2. Get the parent element’s dimensions
3. Set the map pane’s dimensions to match the parent
4. Store the resulting dimensions in a data object

Since this code references a Leaflet map pane, it’s likely related to the map rendering functionality. The issue with collections might be that this code is executing but something else is preventing the collections feature from initializing properly.

Here are some focused troubleshooting steps:

1. Check if the Waymark collections feature has a separate JavaScript file:
   • Look in the Network tab for files with names like “waymark-collections.js” or similar
   • See if any JavaScript files are returning 404 (not found) errors
2. Try forcing a JavaScript refresh:
   • Add a query parameter to your URL like “?nocache=123” to bypass browser caching
3. Check for JavaScript initialization code:
   • Look for code that might initialize the collections feature, possibly something like waymark.collections.init() or similar
4. Inspect the HTML markup:
   • Check if the collections container elements are being properly added to the DOM

Given that regular Waymark features work but collections don’t, it suggests that either:

• The collections JavaScript file isn’t loading
• The collections feature depends on additional libraries that aren’t available
• The initialization code for collections is failing silently

Joe, sorry if this is all gibberish. I’m just hoping that it inspires a thought.

Thanks for the amazing app.
