Showing Maps on Page

FAQ, Getting Started, Support

You must have a google Maps API Key for Maps to work.

To get an API Key, Visit: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key. API will be required to have a Google account in order to create the key but the process is simpler than pie. No programming experience or coding required. Just copy the number and paste it into the plugin field.

Without a key it will be very hard to remove Google Maps errors that will warn you against using the non-registered API. You may have up to ten addresses or location pins on a single map without a registered key. The demo for OnList isusing a non-registered API and only is showing the first ten listings on the front page map.

Once you have a key, simply paste it into the OnList admin Options setting tab where you see the text field for Google Maps API Key.

Insert Images into a Listing

FAQ, Getting Started, Support

Adding text to your listing should be self explanatory, it is a lot like Word or Write where you find the tool at the top of the editor and select the option to change color size and alignment.

Images are a bit more complex and when you get used to how it works you can do a lot of things with images.

Your main image will be added using the “Featured Image” upload box in the lower right corner of the editor page. All you need to do is click on the “Set featured image” link in the box.

 

img insert

Once you select your picture—via uploading new, or using current images in the Media Saved toolkit—then it will be saved, once you click “Publish” ( or “Update” ). You may always use this image again for additional posts since it will be saved to your Media Library.

To add more images to your listing you should consider the page layout and where you want to add them. You may add them inline—sort of like this instruction page is doing—or you can add the images to the bottom of your listing in a more standardized, common gallery fashion.

Step 1.

Open “Add Media”

Step 2. Upload or select images and place as Gallery or simply place one at a time.

Address Presentation

FAQ, Support

By ticking the button to display address field as a single field will stretch the Address row to take up one row across… normally the Address would be shown as:

Address

City

State

Postal Code

 

address presentation

Initiating single field will spread it out on one line but you may have two lines if the address is longer.

You may also choose to not show labels of Address, City, State etc. in the multiple/stacked rows method but, a single row method will not have any labels except the Address label (which can also be turn off—as shown in the example above).
