In reply to: [Events Manager - OpenStreetMaps] Suggestion: Map StylingWow, that was fast. I just did the update (before seeing your reply) and was happy to see the map styles added.
The ArcGIS TopoMap is close enough to what I’m after thanks to the pastel colours (although Hydda is pretty good too but a bit brighter). It’s not the complete customisation I was after (but as you explained that’s not really possible with OSM), but it’s near-enough, so I’m happy to stick with OSM when my site overhaul goes live.
Thank you for adding this. 🙂

In reply to: [Events Manager - OpenStreetMaps] Suggestion: Map StylingI actually installed your other plugin before finding this one. 🙂 I tried just hiding the messy zoom boxes, but I realised I’d rather have them there.
Heh, if it was up to me, I’d prefer plugins with only minimal CSS (no styling, just bare bones where needed). Again it’s a web-design thing, as I’d prefer to take the time to get things to fit into my design rather than have someone else’s design forced upon me (the event calendar plugin we currently have on our site – as I’m in the process of a site re-design / WordPress overhaul – is like that, it has it’s own style, ugh! Needless to say I didn’t choose it originally!).
I took a look at the ArcGIS tiles and I really like that style, mainly because it has a more pastel colour scheme (which is what I had gone for with the SnazzyMaps style I chose). In fact, it’s very similar to what I was using apart from that the colour of the roads is grey and the style I had, it was a blue-grey. So it’d be awesome if you you did want to implement that choice in the future. 🙂
As for coloured markers, I probably wouldn’t use them myself (and the default is already blue so it works great for me), but I think it’d definitely be useful. Particularly if you were using the map showing multiple locations (which I don’t use), as you could have different event markers for different categories for example.

In reply to: [Events Manager - OpenStreetMaps] Suggestion: Map StylingHi Patrick,
Many thanks for your speedy response. 🙂
It looks like it is the map tiles I am referring to. I had been using a style from this site that is linked on the EM Google map settings page – https://snazzymaps.com/explore. It outputs a JSON file that contains the information on the colours you want on your map. It’s quite in-depth though as you can change many things (a lot I didn’t need)
Of course it’s just the web-designer side of me that wants things to look ‘pretty’ and match (my site has a blue/white layout so I’d chosen a map style (and tweaked it slightly) that matched.
It looks like this isn’t possible from what you’re saying, and I definitely wouldn’t want you to try and bloat a plug-in to include it via another API key (I aren’t a fan of bloated plugins!).
Seeing the Google maps have a display bug at the moment, the generic map display from OSM is definitely preferable (and it seems to be a lot cleaner than Google’s design). 🙂
Thank you for letting me know though. 🙂

In reply to: [Simple Membership] Admin advisory email for renewalsI would be interested in this as well, looking forward to seeing it in a future release. (just posting to show support of the idea!)
Hi Angelo… Thanks for the link. Gave me a bit of background reading. 🙂
As my PHP knowledge is only basic (beginner/modifying only), I think I’ll just hide these links using some CSS. I don’t necessarily need these footer links for my site functionality, so best to just remove them than confuse site visitors and members!
That’s weird, I tried to use the #_CATEGORYIMAGEURL placeholder in the CSS of the events listing page yesterday and it didn’t display anything.
I’m guessing I must have did some thing wrong (tiny typo I didn’t notice???), as after reading your reply just now that it should work, I tried it again and it did.
Sorry for jumping the gun and thinking that it didn’t work. Thank you for your reply.

In reply to: [Simple Membership] Testing PayPal Process in Sandbox ModeJust a bit of extra info I forgot to add.
I added the activation link on my thank-you page as outlined here: https://simple-membership-plugin.com/paid-registration-from-the-thank-you-page/
But instead of a link to activate the account, receive this message:
“If you have just made a membership payment then your payment is yet to be processed. Please check back in a few minutes. An email will be sent to you with the details shortly.”

In reply to: [Limb Gallery | Create Beautiful Image & Video Galleries] Themes Pro Add-onThank you for your reply. Great to read that I can just remove the plugin from my test site when moving everything over to the actual site (I’ll just have to make sure I keep record of any settings alter. 🙂
Look forward to checking out the new UI/UX … I’m sure I’ll still be in testing mode, so can play around before transferring to actual site.
