The Divi Map module integrates with Google Maps seamlessly and is an easy way to add an interactive map to your Divi website. This is great for showing your business’s location or creating a local guide of your favorite boutiques and businesses.
In this post, we’re going to show you how to add a button to the location info box for one of your pinned addresses.
Design Preview
First, let’s take a look at what we’re trying to accomplish. With some simple HTML, we’ll be able to accomplish adding a button inside the location info box for a pinned address.
Let’s dive in!
What You Need to Get Started
To get started, you will need to do the following:
Select Build From Scratch
Once you click the “Use Divi Builder” button the page will reload using Divi’s drag and drop builder interface. Three options will pop up – Build From Scratch, Choose A Premade Layout, and Clone Existing Page. For today’s purposes, select “Build From Scratch”. This will give us a blank slate where we can build our designs.
Add Your Google API Key
Before we’ll be able to fully use the map module and its functionalities, you’ll need to add your Google API Key to your Theme Options.
Method 1: How to Add a Button to Your Divi Map Location’s Info Box
Let’s get into the tutorial! Here’s how to add a button to the location info box.
Add a Section and Row and the Map Module
Navigate back to the page you just created and add a section and a one-column row to your page. Then load the module library and click Map. Once added, the module window will pop up with all the settings and functionalities available within the map module.
Add a Pin
Click “Add New Pin” to add a pin to your map. This will bring up that pin’s settings where you can type in a title and add a description text. To add a button in the text area, add the following HTML:
The key here is to add the class of et_pb_button that turns a regular text link into a button. Don’t forget to replace the # sign with the URL you want this button to link to.
Then add your pin’s location in the Map tab in the Map Pin Address field and click find.
And there you have it! A button appears in the pin’s location info box.
Method 2: Styling the Button with a Unique CSS Class
There’s also another way to achieve this and it’s to add a unique CSS class to the HTML to style the button. Here is the HTML you’ll need:
The unique CSS class we added was get-directions-btn. We can use this CSS class to apply unique styles to the button. You can do this by pasting on-page CSS or by using your child theme’s style sheet. In today’s example, we’re going the paste the CSS in our Page Settings.
To achieve the button style below, copy and paste this CSS in to your Page Settings:
Final Thoughts
Adding a button to your pin’s location box offers a clean direction button link that makes it easy for your visitors to get directions fast. You can also style the button using CSS added to your page! With that, the styling options are endless. Have fun customizing!
