    Hi,

    i would like to use your widget in my sidebar, to show the location of the current post topic. I have dynamic address details in a custom field [ACF] in every post.
    I couldn’t get this thing to work. The displayed address is static and must be defined, when the widget ist placed in the sidebar.

    I tried to edit your code to support my custom fields, but i wasn’t able to retrieve those fields in the widget.

    Do you have a hint for me to support these dynamic custom fields?

    Thanks
    Dave

    Hi,
    I know it’s been 11 months but …. that feature is still not available 🙁 You can hack the code … use get_post_custom_values() and just be sure that you get the right post ID. There’s not much else to it.

    Ok my first try was to edit the desired data direct into the code.
    I tried to edit the gm-widget.php just like it was stated in in the post, but now the lightbox window doesn’t show any content.
    The small map in my sidebar ist fine.

    I don’t understand how the informations are transported to the lightbox map.

    Here is the part of my code:

    The self::$widgets[] line pushes params to the lightbox. Check if all the vars your modifying actually have new and proper values.
