Mashup with Tax Query

[utcommoffice]

My custom query parameters are:
$parentID from main Loop 1

$args2 = array (
'post_type' => 'location',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'area',
'field' => 'term_id',
'terms' => $parentID
))
);

How can i create a mashup of the resulting posts ? Each posts has a map generated via custom_fields. I have the IDs stored in an array $locationID. I’ve tried it via php and via shortcode, both only show 1 location.

It works when i do it manually:

$mymap = new Mappress_Map(array(
	"width" 	=> 800,
	"height"	=> 800
	));

$mymap->pois = array($mypoi[0], $mypoi[1]); 

echo $mymap->display();

What I am trying to do is automate the second part:
$mymap->pois = array($collectedpoiarray);

or

do shortcode('[mashup query="'.$locationID.'"]');

Hi,

You can include your query in the map, for example:

$query = array (
 'post_type' => 'location',
 'posts_per_page' => -1,
 'tax_query' => array(
 array(
 'taxonomy' => 'area',
 'field' => 'term_id',
 'terms' => $parentID
 ))
);

$map = new Mappress_Map();
$map->query = $query;
$map->display(array('width' => 800, 'height' => 800));

Thank you Chris. How would this be done if i were using a [mashup] shortcode ?

There is no way to substitute variables (like $parentID) in a shortcode entered in the WordPress post editor.

If you use PHP, another way to create the map is to use the do_shortcode() command.

Assuming that $parentID is the slug for a term in the ‘area’ taxonomy you could write:

$query = “post_type=location&posts_per_page=-1&area=” . $parentID;
do_shortcode(‘[mashup query=”‘ . $query . ‘”]’);

There are some other query string examples for custom taxonomies in the plugin documentation.
