Hi,

There’s no link for custom icons, but you should see them listed first in the list of icons.  This sounds like it could be related to the directory structure for multisite.

Do you happen to have a single-site blog where you could try the same thing?

Could you send me a login (you can use the contact form or email me) so I can take a look?

[Chris]

Hi,

Could you provide a test URL that is permanently set to the mobile theme with jquery mobile loaded (so I can test it from a desktop)?

I briefly browsed through the jquery mobile forums and it appears others were having trouble with this as well, for example:

http://forum.jquery.com/topic/google-maps-inside-jquery-mobile

They may have been confusing the Google issue with displaying maps in an initially hidden container, but if you’re a javascript developer, you can try triggering the map resize event like this (assuming the map is named ‘mapp0’ – see the FAQ for some info about map names):

mapp0.resize();

Hi,

The release notes are very skimpy.  I’ll try to get the beta documentation done ASAP so you can see some examples.

Basically, you can copy the ‘map-poi-list.php’ template file to your theme directory and then edit it, much like a regular blog template file.  It sounds like you’ve already done that.

Then, assuming you’re using the default table layout, you could add the two columns like so:

<?php if ($poi->postid): ?>
	<td>   
		<?php echo get_post_meta($poi->postid, 'wpcf-facility', true); ?>
	</td>
	<td>
		<?php echo get_post_meta($poi->postid, 'wpcf-phone', true); ?>
	</td>
<?php endif; ?>

If you like, send me an email and I’ll reply with the entire file.

Hi,

For anyone else searching on this thread: WordPress offsers separate settings for the uploads URL and the uploads PATH.  They must be consistent (pointing to the same directory) in order for MapPress to find the icons directory.

[Chris]

Hi, I see the issue (only on a phone) but it’s tough to say what the cause might be.  The issue in the FAQ occurs only when the map container is initially hidden.

Could you try switching to the standard twentyeleven theme for starters, to see there’s a conflict?  I’d suggest deactivating ALL plugins as well, in case there’s a javascript error from another plugin.

If that doesn’t work, is it possible to enable the mobile theme on a test page, so I can trace it in a normal web browser (it’s tougher to debug from the phone).

Hi,

@doctorproctor: marker_body set to ‘none’ is no longer supported, but you should still be able to just leave your markers blank or link them to posts.  Will that work for you?

@rainmaster: could you please create a separate thread for your questions – they don’t seem related to the original post.  The custom icons have moved in the beta – take a look at the release notes for some more info – essentially the new directory is in your uploads folder: ‘/wp-content/uploads/mappress/icons’.

[Chris]

Hi, that feature is already in the beta versions, check out the release notes and see here for info about how to download:

Hopefully, they’ll do what you want without custom code?

[Chris]

Hi, sorry for my slow reply, I’m on vacation but I’ll be back at work again next week.

To answer your questions:

1) If you install the latest beta (see http://mappresspro.com/betas ) you can use a POI list ‘template’ to display whatever you like.  I haven’t completed the beta documentation yet so there’s only an overview in the release notes.  If you need help with the template before it’s available let me know.

2) The beta also applies a default sort by title, and has a filter you can use to apply your own sorting.  You can also drag & drop markers on individual maps.   Also, if you use a mashup, you can apply a sort order using the mashup query – WordPress offers sort by post date and some other fields.

[Chris]

Hi,

I don’t know how to identify the posts you’re using with T&V.  Maybe you can assign them to a particular category or post type.  If you want to use a variable, you can just add something like this to the mappress ‘the_content’ filter:

if ($myvar == true)
	return;

Or, you can add your own filter to remove the MapPress ‘the_content’ filter.  For example, if you want to always suppress MapPress when the post type = ‘mytype’ add this to functions.php:

function myfunc() {  
	global $post, $mappress;  
	if ($post->post_type == 'mytype')   
		remove_filter('the_content', array($mappress, 'the_content'), 2); 
} 

add_filter('the_content', 'myfunc', 1);

[Chris]

Hi, what version of MapPress are you using?

The mashup should, in general, save and restore the original query.  Let me know your version and I’ll see if I can replicate the problem.

[Chris]

Hi, I don’t know much about Types & Views, but I can explain that the MapPress automatic map always adds a map to the post content except in two cases:

1) If there’s already a mappress shortcode on the post/page

2) The post/page is an excerpt (to determine this, MapPress checks if the standard WP filter for excerpts is active – and it’s probably not used by T&V)

You could try putting a [mappress] shortcode into the particular post you don’t want automated.  Or you can switch off automatic map display and use shortcodes.

There’s a function remove_shortcode() in WordPress that can be used to disable a shortcode.  You could add it to your functions.php and use some criteria for the posts where you want to suppress it.

Finally, the T&V folks might be able to tell you how to disable a specific shortcode in the template, it seems like that might be a common request.

[Chris]

Hi, from the sound of it that’s strictly a CSS problem and not something that could be controlled by the plugin.  I can’t really say what might be done to fix it without seeing a URL, though, so if you’d like to provide one that would help.

My guess is the footer widget has a CSS float: or position: style applied to it – those can both cause an element to break out of the normal flow and overlap other elements.

If nothing else works, you could also switch the directions to ‘google’ which will open a separate window for the directions.

[Chris]

There’s a bug in my little code snippet – I wrote $postid instead of $poi->postid, so it always prints the first date.  I didn’t realize the dates were repeating when I tried it.

It should be as shown below.  I tested it and it looked OK.  Hopefully it’ll work for you as well:

<td>
  <?php
    if ($poi->postid) {        
      $p = get_post($poi->postid);        
      echo $p->post_date;       
    }      
  ?>     
</td>

 

[Chris]

Hi,

I’m sorry I was thinking of modifying the template for individual posts.  For the poi list you can read the post ID for each poi from the field $poi->postid;

So you’ll need this in the ‘foreach’  loop:

<td>
  <?php       
    if ($poi->postid) {
      $p = get_post($postid);
      echo $p->post_date;
    }      
  ?>     
</td>

Don’t forget to add a “<th>” header for the column too.

I hope that helps.  If you like I can also email you the whole file.  Send me an email at “chrisvrichardson” at mappresspro.com.

[Chris]

Hi, yes you can actually show anything you like in the POI list.

I’m still working on the documentation so it’s not documented except in the release notes.  But the idea is you can modify a template, much like a theme template file:

1) Find the file ‘map_poi_list’ in the MapPress directory /pro/templates

2) Copy it to your theme directory

3) Change the contents as needed.  I think you’ll need something like:

<td><?php echo $post->post_date; ?></td>
