WIP: Setting Map ICON using ACF field (Icon picker)

Just tried to set the map pin ICON by using a custom ACF value (icon field) in the custom url field of the address marker but it does not seem to work, When i use the same bricks dynamic field in a simple text to see what it is outputting it seems to just be the image title but if I use it within an image element for the source it outputs the correct icon/image.

Hi @SpinDreams,

you mean this control, right? The dynamic data should return the URL to the image/svg, then it will work. Can you try?

Or you mean some other control?

Just realised what’s likely wrong, Picking the pin icon using image ACF element and it is a .png file, does it only support svg? It is working in a custom google maps script I am using. You can see here Attività ed esperienze nei dintorni di Cagliari Sardegna (switch to english to see the bricks version).

Maybe not, I tried using an SVG for one of the pins but it still only shows the default icon.

Have you tried with dynamic tag that will return a string/URL to the icon. Then it should work.

Let me know if it’s working that way.

The same tag I am using here works fine when used in the bricks image element in the same page so I think this is a bug.

Yes, I understand. That’s why I’m asking if it’s working with a dynamic tag that returns a URL to the image, because the icon fields it’s not supported - see the placeholder in the field, it says “Custom URL” :slight_smile:

So, this is not a bug, but rather a future request. I’ve created and task for this internally, and I’ve also move this topic to the Feature Requests / Improvements.

Best regards,
Matej
