Turn off adding markers by right clicking (or touching map) and dragging

[Pieter]

Is it possible to turn off adding markers by right clicking (or touching map) and dragging? I would really like to turn it off on the map so users can only add markers by filling out the form.

Hi Pieter,

Thank you so much for getting in touch, we really appreciate your time.

Could I kindly ask you to copy the below custom script:

jQuery(document.body).on(‘init.wpgmza’, function(e){
google.maps.event.clearListeners(WPGMZA.maps[0].googleMap, ‘click’);
});

Please then navigate to -> Maps -> Settings -> Advanced -> Please paste this into the Custom JS field and click save.

Please then confirm once complete if this helps?

Kindest Regards,
Steven De Beer

Hi Steven,

It doesn’t seem to work for mobile/ touch unfortunately. I’d love to know how I could turn that off and only let them do that via the location field in the form. At first touch on the map it still drops a pin, that’s not user friendly in my case.

Many thanks!

Hi Pieter,

Thank you so much for getting back to me.

It seems mobile uses a different event to register the click so if I could kindly ask you to add the following in addition to the previous provided? This should help with mobile, however, I cannot directly test this until it’s been added and saved.

jQuery(document.body).on(‘init.wpgmza’, function(e){
google.maps.event.clearListeners(WPGMZA.maps[0].googleMap, ‘ontouchstart’);
});

Please confirm once complete?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Kindest Regards,
