Hi,
I’m not sure I understood, but you can still change the POI icon by clicking on it when you’re editing the POI (in the map editor). You can also set a default icon in the settings screen, and there’s a PHP filter available to set it based on some other criteria.
Hi,
The settings only control how the marker appears in mashups, i.e. on this page:
http://www.rowhouseco.com/grantmassie/google/
But the POI always has its own title. To change it, you can edit the POI in the map editor (in the WP post editor).
Where did you upload it to? It should go in your theme directory, or in your child theme directory if you’re using a child theme.
If you just want to see if it’s working you can overwrite the version in the /templates directory of the plugin – just make a backup or the original first.
Hi,
Quick question: in the plugin settings do you have ‘Regenerate the map every time its post is published’ checked? If so, it’ll ignore ALL edits (including the zoom) and re-create the map on each publish.
If that’s not the issue, though, I’ll login and check it out…
Hi,
The default zoom setting isn’t saved with the map or the POI (or at least it’s not supposed to be saved).
It’s intended as a workaround for not having zoom levels for individual POIs, in these 2 cases:
1) Initially displaying a mashup that has only a single lat/lng POI
2) The ‘center map’ link is clicked and there is only one lat/lng POI on the map
You should be able to edit a map and save it at any zoom. I just tried it with a single POI by lat/lng, and it seemed to work for me.
I’m probably not understanding the issue. Maybe you can explain further how to reproduce it, or send a login and explain how I can see it in your blog.
Hi,
The parameters are in the beta documentation:
http://mappresspro.com/mappress-beta
The POI list doesn’t show the POI body normally, only the title and links.
You can modify the template and use $poi->get_body() to show it above the links. You will also need to set the POIs to show the POI body on the settings screen. Then the function will return the POI body as it was originally saved.
Hi, assuming you’ve already seen the example PHP code in the docs, you just need to set two things for the POI to display KML:
1) $poi->type = “kml”
2) $poi->kml = http://mykmlurl.kml
For example:
$mypoi= new Mappress_Poi(array("iconid" => "green-dot", "title" => "KML Example", "type" => "kml", "kml" => "http://kml-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/kml/Region/polygon-min-max.kml"));Hi,
I’ve just released version 2.38.8. On the settings screen you can control what’s displayed in mashups (the POI title/body or the post title/body). You can also use shortcode paramters to do the same thing.
I hope that helps, but let me know if you still need info about how to modify the template.
Hi, sorry my slow reply, I was working on a new release.
It looks like the widget is gone, but if you like, add the widget back and send a login and I’ll try to trace it. It would also be helpful if you don’t mind upgrading to the latest version 2.38.8 so I can work from the latest code.
Hi Jon,
I looked at the page and it seems the ‘tooltips’ option is set to false. You can control the option in the MapPress settings screen or the shortcode – you probably just need to turn it on.
If that’s not the problem, though, let me know and I’ll take another look.
Hi, sorry for my slow reply, I was working on the a new version.
If I understand you want the POI to show the title it was saved with, rather than the title of the matching post (http://www.rowhouseco.com/grantmassie/90-9-chesterfield/).
If that’s correct, please install the new version (2.38.8) and check the settings screen. There is now an option to control whether the POI title and POI body are taken from the POI or from the underlying post.
I hope that helps, but let me know if not.
Hi, I took a look at the wordpress codex entry here. I think you can do this by using post__not_in. For example to exclude posts 1 and 2:
[mashup show="query" show_query="posts_per_page=-1&post_type=post&post__not_in=1,2" width="700" height="480" ]
Hi, I just released 2.38.8, which includes:
- A close button for the infobox
- A default maximum width for the infobox
- New settings to control what is displayed for each mashup POI (i.e. the POI title and body originally saved, or the title/excerpt from the underlying post).
Please see the change log and beta documentation for more information.
I’m not sure if there’s anything I can do about the close button in standard InfoWindows. You might want to check the Google Maps Bug Database too see if they’re aware of it.
