Title: Using opacity in overviewmap Last modified: May 7, 2024 --- # Using opacity in overviewmap * Resolved [colinic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinic/) * (@colinic) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/) * I am wanting to set all my markers in an overviewmap to opacity=0.5. The docs say I can add that to the overviewmap shortcode rather than using a custom field. Since I want the same opacity for all markers that would be preferable. What is the format for that? Also, same question for the other marker options such as color? * I’ve tried this and it doesnt work: [leaflet-map fitbounds][overviewmap category =”Locations” show_thumbnails=1 opacity=0.5] * Thanks!

I will fix it. * > ```wp-block-code > [overviewmap category="Locations" show_thumbnails=1 opacity=0.5] > ``` > * If you use `leaflet-marker`, your code should work.

Are you using the default marker icon or an defined one? * Thread Starter [colinic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinic/) * (@colinic) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17737926) * The default marker. I only have latlng in the custom field – called overview- latlgn (the default). The rest is as above. * Works great apart from setting marker attributes. * Thread Starter [colinic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinic/) * (@colinic) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17737933) * PS i want all the markers the same – hence setting attributes in overviewmap  rather than in every page/post. * Plugin Author [hupe13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hupe13/) * (@hupe13) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17737979) * Thank you for the info. It works as expected, if you use any other marker as default and different markers for each category. I will see what I can do, if you want to use the default marker or any other as the only one. * Thread Starter [colinic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinic/) * (@colinic) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17738013) * So do you mean the marker attributes can only be set in the custom field, and not [overviewmap]? * Plugin Author [hupe13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hupe13/) * (@hupe13) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17738083) * You can specify options like `opacity` in `overviewmap` only, if you have specified the custom field for `icons` and in this specific case `opacity` is valid only for `leaflet-marker`. * The bugs are: You can’t specify any option for the default blue marker icon. You can’t have the same leaflet-marker or leaflet-extramarker icon for all. If this is fixed, then can you specify these options in `overviewmap`. * Writing a good documentation is a very difficult job.

Sorry I realise documentation is hard. You product is great. * Can you give me a simple example with an option such as opacity set in the overviewmap? An example with only lat and lng coming from the custom fields would be best – although if any other things have to be in custom fields then that is fine. * Where I am at is: [leaflet-map fitbounds][overviewmap category=”Points of Interest” show_thumbnails=1 icons=ovm-leaflet-marker opacity=0.5][fullscreen] * In custom fields I have overview-latlng and ovm-leaflet-marker set to lat,lng and an icon respectively. * Am I close? * Plugin Author [hupe13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hupe13/) * (@hupe13) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17738254) * [Example](https://leafext.de/extra/leaflet-marker/) * Thread Starter [colinic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinic/) * (@colinic) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17738667) * Thanks so much. That really helps. * Incidentally, if find this also works … * [leaflet-map fitbounds] [overviewmap category=”Points of Interest” show_thumbnails =1 icons=ovm-leaflet-marker opacity=0.5][fullscreen] * As long as there is a custom field called ovm-leaflet-marker with ANYTHING in it. “xxx” works. You get the Leaflet default icon with opacity. My guess is that is a bug … so won’t rely on it. Maybe it helps you implement not having to have“ icons=ovm-leaflet-marker” * Thanks again. * Plugin Author [hupe13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hupe13/) * (@hupe13) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-opacity-in-overviewmap/#post-17742165) * I fixed it in the [Github version](https://github.com/hupe13/extensions-leaflet-map-github).
