Mushup php current category

[magnaromagna]

Hello, I did not find how to configure this: I’d like to show a map of all post under the current category. I mean: if I visit category number 1, I’d like to show a map with all posts. Something like

[mashup query="current category"] , but in php

I see that mappress widget could show map of all posts in the same page of category: is possible to extend this query to all posts of the whole category, not only the post of the page? Hope I explained it
Thanks

Hi,

It’s possible but you’ll need some PHP to do this.  You’ll need to get the category first (you can search wordpress.org for solutions to that).  Then run the mashup shortcode.

I haven’t tested it but for example: this should read the category id from the query variable ‘cat’:

$category_id = get_query_var('cat');
$shortcode = '[mashup query="cat=' . $category_id . '&posts_per_page=-1"]';
echo "Map of shortcode $shortcode" . "<br/>";
do_shortcode($shortcode);

Thank you, but not works properly: it take the right category id, but not show the map, only prints this:

Map of shortcode [mashup query="cat=98&posts_per_page=-1"]

Hi, try adding ‘echo’ before do_shortcode:

$category_id = get_query_var('cat'); 
$shortcode = '[mashup query="cat=' . $category_id . '&posts_per_page=-1"]'; 
echo "Map of shortcode $shortcode" . "<br/>"; 
echo do_shortcode($shortcode);
