[Pro] Overriding map data with shortcode parameters

It’s possible to change some data of a given map using shortcode parameters. This feature is basic and was initially implemented for development purposes. This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL.

In the shortcode display-map id='1' you can use the extra parameters:

meta

The meta parameter will take a JSON string containing the map meta parameters. To know what are the available parameters, in your browser console log, write:

iMapsData.data[0]

However, since the shortcode parameters can’t contain square brackets, it won’t be possible to change data properties that contain arrays like regions or roundMarkers.

An example of usage:

[display-map id='22460' meta='{"regionDefaults":{"action":"none", "fill":"#6699CC", "hover":"#000000"}}']

The example above will set the default values for the regions.

regions

Since it’s not possible to override the regions property in the meta parameter, the regions have their own parameter.

Usage:

[display-map id='1' regions='{"id":"LA", "fill":"red", "useDefaults":0},{"id":"TH", "fill":"green", "useDefaults":0}']

In the example above we added 2 regions (Laos and Thailand) and set a specific colour. We also included the useDefaults set to 0 to make sure this colour is used and not the defaults.

roundMarkers

You can also add round markers with the shortcode parameter using the following syntax:

[display-map id='1' roundMarkers='{"id":"Marker 01", "latitude":"10.5333", "longitude":"20.2233"},{"id":"Marker 02", "latitude":"12.5333", "longitude":"10.2233"}']

Examples

[display-map id='1' meta='{"map":"region/world/asiaLow", "mapURL":"https://cdn.amcharts.com/lib/4/geodata/region/world/asiaLow.js", "exclude":"RU", "viewport":{"zoomLevel":"1.5"}}' regions='{"id":"LA", "fill":"red", "useDefaults":0},{"id":"TH", "fill":"green", "useDefaults":0}']
