Regions and Markers as links

This tutorial will show you how to create an interactive map with Regions or Markers working as clickable links.

1

Go to :fa-object-group: Regions > :fa-pencil-square-o: Edit fields.

Click the Text button at the bottom to add a new Text field and name it "Link". Click the Save fields button at the bottom.

2

Go to :fa-object-group: Regions > :fa-list-ul: List. Click the Edit regions button above the map, then click a country on the map to edit its fields. Enter a URL in the Link field, then click OK.

3

Go to :fa-mouse-pointer: Actions. Click the following checkbox: Region click > Go to link stored in ..., then choose the Region.link field from the drop-down list. Save the map settings.

4

You can't test links in the map preview mode, so you need to create a page and add the map to it. Go to WP Admin > Pages > Add new, then click the + sign on the left and search for the "shortcode" block in the Gutenberg editor.

5

Add the MapSVG shortcode in the following format: [mapsvg id="YOUR_MAP_ID"]. Publish the page, open it, and try clicking the country where you added the link.

6

Now let's go back to the map settings and set up Markers in the same way. Go to Database > :fa-pencil-square-o: Edit fields. Click the Text button at the bottom and create a Link field as you did previously for Regions.

7

Go to Database > :fa-list-ul: List. Click an object in the list and add a URL to the Link field, then click OK.

8

Go to :fa-mouse-pointer: Actions. Click the following checkbox: Marker click > Go to link stored in ..., then choose the Object.link field from the drop-down list. Save the map settings, go to the page you created previously, and try clicking the Marker.
