Hi,

Maybe you could just output your script in the footer, rather than the poi list?

The list is actually generated and then moved to its container <div> when the map is displayed, so your script tag is ending up inside a <div> – something I guess IE8 doesn’t like.

There’s also an action that gets called when a map is displayed: mappress_map_display($map).  It gets passed the entire map in ($map).  You might be able to output your script tags there as well.

Hi,

Can you provide a URL illustrating the problem?

[Chris]

Hi, not yet, but it’s on my development list – if you look at the feature requests sections it’s one of the top three.

Hi,

I haven’t implemented filtering yet as part of the map.  You can, though, use different category pages (or tags) in WordPress to direct the user to different mashups for each category.  Or you can use a single mashup that just displays the current posts.

Hi,

I’ve haven’t heard of that particular problem before.  Do you see the ‘MapPress’ meta box (without the button) or is there no metabox at all?

Here’s some things to try:

1. Check the MapPress ‘settings’ screen to see if you have the checkboxes set to include the editor for your post type (post and page should be checked by default).
2. Deactivate ALL of your other plugins for a moment.  If that fixes the problem, then reactivate them one by one to find the conflict.
3. Reinstall the plugin: http://mappresspro.com/install

If the above don’t work please send me a login using the contact form, and I’ll take a look.

Hi Jim,

It does seem the hyphens can cause problems, there are a few mentions in the WordPress TRAC (Bug) database too.

For something like this, I suggest you just print out the results of your query using a PHP echo statement first.  That will at narrow down whether this has anything to do with MapPress or if it’s just a query issue.

Assume your the query you normally use is in $query, you could put this in your template:

<?php 
  $wpq = new WP_Query($query);
  print_r($wpq);
?>

MapPress adds a few extra parameters.  If you want to compare the above query to how MapPress runs it, try adding this too:

<?php 
  $query = "map=true&post_type=any&cache_results=false" . $query;
  $wpq = new WP_Query($query);
  print_r($wpq);
?>

Hi,

Go to the map editor (in a WordPress post) and click a POI (a marker).  You should get a POI editor where you can enter a title and body.

For mashups:

If you’re showing a single map, there’s a small button in the POI editor where you enter the POI title and body.  That button will let you insert an image for the POI.

If you’re using a mashup, you can just set the option on the MapPress settings screen and the plugin will the show featured image for the post in mashups automatically.

Hi,

MapPress doesn’t provide a front-end form for entering data – maps can only be created through the admin screens (i.e. the WordPress post editor).

However, there are some forms plugins that will take front-end user input and generate a post from it.  If you choose to use one of those, you can store the address data in a custom field and have MapPress generate the map automatically from that field when the post is created.

I hope that helps…

Hi, please see the instructions here:

Morten,

The documentation explains how to avoid changing your CSS each time you upgrade.

And of course you can set top, left, bottom and right margins separately in CSS.

 

[Chris]

Morton,

You can remove the 3px indent change the CSS for class .mapp-layout. Methods for changing the CSS are described in the documentation.

Hi,

I traced it, but I can only see that the query isn’t returning any result.

MapPress uses the WordPress query functions, so I can’t tell you if it’s a problem in the plugin or something else in the blog.

Here’s some suggestions to narrow it down:

1) Deactivate ALL of your other plugins for a minute, and switch to a standard theme like 2012. If that works, then it’s a conflict with another plugin (WPML, perhaps?)

2) Rather than using the widget, try putting PHP to generate the map directly in your template’s footer:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[mashup query="p=23"]'); ?>

Also, add a line to just print out the query result – that way you’ll know if it’s an issue with the map or with the query:

<?php
$wpq = new WP_Query(‘p=23’);
echo “Query: “;
print_r($wpq—>posts);
?>

Hi,

If the post has multiple locations assigned to it, they’ll all show up in the widget – there’s no way to show only some of them.

One thing you could do: create only one map in the post, with one location. Then create another post #2 with the additional locations.

You can display the map from post #2 in post #1 by using the shortcode, but the locations will not be linked to post #1.

Hi,

I’ve just released 2.39.9, which should fix the editing issue.

Please let me know if you have any trouble with it.

[Chris]

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this. I was able to reproduce the problem on my system, and I think it’s a bug. Changes in the title and html editor seem to work, but not the visual editor.

I’ll get a fix out ASAP.

Until then the workaround may be to use the html editor.
