If you open up location-script.php you'll see the following section starting on line 43...

//CREATES COLOR PROFILE

Below that you can see the color settings for various items. Adjusting those — via hex color values — will allow you to change the colors of the map.

Hope that helps!

Hi Chris, similar question.....what would be a rough estimate on using Google's default color scheme vs. the grayscale color scheme you've adjusted in the API?

Thanks! You bet!

Hi Chris, thank you for the help. I understand how busy you are. You posted a link to working with the Google API on the forums so I'll work through that. The Contractor is perfect for an architectural showcase. I have about 240 properties, which are commercial and residential so different colored pins for the project type would be very helpful. I'lll get there. I thought WordPress was similar to the older desktop publishing programs... my bad.

The website isn't public as I have to add 100+ homes and projects before I open it up. I can send you the admin log in if you like, but it's not a crisis for the listing orders as it will take me some time to get the other entires created.

Thank you again. You do beautiful work...

Hi there,

To answer your first post, you would need to edit the core theme files as the mapping system is built into the theme via the maps API. Unfortunately my support forum does not include support for making edits like this. That would require custom development services.

You can submit a request for custom development services here: http://themolitor.com/custom

Regarding the second posted question, customizing the pins/colors of the map is not a built-in feature of the theme. All that can be done by making edits to the core theme files.

Regarding your third posted questions, can you provide a link to your site? It's difficult for me to get a sense of the issue you're having without seeing exactly what you mean. Thanks!

Best,

Christopher

Hi Chris, I have more Contractor map template questions.... why does it take several attempts to change the address wording (North to N, or including, or committing "street") to force locations to appear on the map? The "tricks" necessary to get a location to appear on the map doesn't follow any pattern than I can identify. I'd also like to know what I can do remove duplicate media images (clearing cache browsers didn't help) and why the posts I've created for various commercial projects don't display on the main page in an orderly manner. There will be 3 posts across a page, then 1 on the net line, then 2, etc... I apologize for being a WordPress newbie.. these things are not intuitive to me and I cannot find the appropriate info on how to correct them in the online materials. Thank you, Neil

And as a follow up question, is there a way to use different color map pins for different categories of results? i.e.... Blue pins for residential projects and orange pins for commercial projects? Thank you.

I'd like to add the usual Google map zoom and pan buttons to my Contractor site, and I haven't found any information on how to accomplish that on the forum pages. Does that mean editing the template code or adding a map plugin? Thank you.
