Hi,

When you choose ‘current’ for the widget it should just show exactly what’s in the current page query.

This could be a MapPress bug, but more often the problem is that the theme or another plugin is modifying the query.

There are two things to try:

1.  Check for conflicts – switch to the ‘twenty twelve’ theme and deactivate your other plugins.  Do you see the same result?

2.  Output the query – add this to the sidebar template file to print the current query:

<?php 
global $wp_query;
print_r($wp_query->posts);
?>

If this issue persists after trying the above, please feel free to send a login and I’ll take a look on your site.

Hi,

Sorry, no I haven’t heard of that issue before.  If you can narrow down the cause it might help, but as a guess: maybe the KML load is timing out?  If you’re not hosting the file locally, you could try putting the file on your own server.

Hi,

I’m not sure I understood your question about formatting, but if the problem is the line breaks: I think the tinyMCE editor generally adds paragraph tags (<p>) for each new line.  Try holding down the ‘shift’ key when you print enter to get a line break instead (a <br>).  You can check the ‘html’ tab to see what’s actually being saved, and it should display in the infowindow exactly as it was saved.

You can change the list position by editing the template ‘map_poi_list.php’ – there’s a section in the documentation about how to copy the template to your theme directory.  Take a look at the default template and let me know if you get stuck.

Hi,

Sorry but no, that’s not supported by the plugin . If you would like to code it in PHP, you can use an action like ‘mappress_map_display’ to adjust the mashup before it’s displayed:

http://mappresspro.com/mappress-documentation#toc-filters-and-actions

What you described also sounded like ‘marker clustering’, which is a popular feature request I’m already working on.

Hi,

That page didn’t work for me in any browser.

It seems like maybe the AJAX call to get the map data isn’t working.  MapPress calls the blog’s AJAX handler here:

http://regionalsadmin.burningman.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Normally that should just return ‘0’, but it’s returning the entire home page (you can try it – just enter it in your browser).  Is there some kind of redirect from the theme or another plugin?  Or is the AJAX url incorrect?

If that doesn’t help, then it would help if we could rule out conflicts:

1.  Deactivate ALL of your other plugins

2.  Switch to the standard 2012 theme

3.  Go to your ‘permalinks’ settings and save them again (to update the .htaccess file)

4.  Check that page again – if the issue seems to be resolved, reactivate until you find the conflict.

Hi,

1) The the page you just linked is loading the current version.  Search for ‘2.40.3’ in the source and you’ll see it:

http://dev2.timesofisrael.com/the-jewish-planet/?city=montevideo&type=hotels

However, the original, non-working page is still loading the old version – search for ‘2.38’ in the source and you’ll see it:

http://dev2.timesofisrael.com/the-jewish-planet/

I don’t know why one page works and the other doesn’t.  Perhaps a plugin is cacheing it or the server.  You can try deactivating your other plugins for a moment and restarting the server.

2) The settings are available on the settings screen, so you don’t need to include them in your code unless they will be different for each map.  If you need to include them in code the parameter names and allowed values are in the documentation:

Hi Richard,

I’ll be happy to help.  If you’d like to send a URL you can just use the contact form or email me: “chris” at “mappresspro.com”.

[Chris]

Hi,

I checked this link:

http://dev2.timesofisrael.com/the-jewish-planet/

The plugin doesn’t seem to be installed properly.  Could you please check that you’re following these install instructions (assuming you’re using the ‘Pro’ version):

http://mappresspro.com/install

Also a note on the shortcode: parameters ‘marker_title’ and ‘marker_body’ are now ‘mashup_title’ and ‘mashup_body’, or you can just set them in the MapPress settings screen.

 

[Chris]

Hi, you can only edit the map in the post where it was created (although you can display it in any post with the shortcode).  You’ll need to either restore the original post from the trash or re-create the map.

[Chris]

Hi,

The tabs issue is a problem with Google maps.  There’s no real fix, just some workaround – take a look at the FAQ for some more info:

http://mappresspro.com/mappress-faq

TurboCSV can import CSV data (you can save your spreadsheet as a CSV) and create posts from it.  It’ll create 1 post for each row (location) in the file.

You would need to import the address info as custom fields like ‘address’, ‘city’ and ‘state’ – then MapPress can generate a map for each imported post (i.e. one map for location).  Finally, you can create a ‘mashup’ of all of those individual maps to show all the locations on one map.

You won’t be able to geocode most street addresses without a city and state, though, since just the street isn’t unique.  If you know the city/state you can just copy & paste them in the spreadsheets before importing.

If you have other questions about the functionality, please feel free to email me directly.  You can also try out TurboCSV and MapPress together on your own demo site, if that helps:

http://mappresspro.com/demo

Hi,

It’s actually a shortcode, not a button.  Type this into a post:

[mashup query="all"]

Check the documentation for the other parameters.  It’ll show all the maps together, and it updates whenever you create map on a post/page.

[Chris]

Hi,

I’m guessing you don’t have any problems with your other plugins deactivated AND a standard theme like 2012.  Let me know if that’s incorrect, but the display problems you describe sound more like CSS issues with the theme.

Not being able to save could be a conflict with EM – Google won’t let you load the API twice (I’m not sure why).

You may need to deactivate the maps in EM.  Does it have a setting for that?  If not, you could try deregistering its script (where it loads the Google API) in your functions.php.

It’s hard for me to just guess what’s wrong, though, without seeing it.  If you like send a login and I’ll look.

You can also check if the API is being loaded twice yourself – check the ‘console’ in Firebug or IE developer tools.  Google will write a message if its loaded twice.

[Chris]

Hi,

I traced the code and I see MapPress executing, but I don’t think the Google maps API is working properly.

My guess is there’s a cacheing problem.  Could you try deactivating cloudflare’s “rocket loader”?  It’s explained here, in an article about a different conflict:

http://3letterit.com/wordpress-woo-slider-stopped-working-cloudflare-rocket-loader-conflict

[Chris]

Hi,

Google Maps generally won’t work if the API is loaded twice, that might be the problem.

Please try deactivating ALL of your other plugins (for a minute) and switching to the standard 2012 theme.

If that fixes the issue, then reactivate one by one to find the conflict.

If the conflict is with event manager, see if you can disable the maps functionality in that plugin.

[Chris]

Hi, do you mean add a poi list for one map?  If so:

[mappress poilist="true"]

The parameters are in the documentation:
