Shorcode Attributes and Plugin Settings

Note 1: To display all points that belong to a specific category in the same Google Map, it is required to insert the following shortcode [codepeople-post-map cat=\"3\"]. The number 3 represent the category ID, replace this number by the corresponding category’s ID. To insert the code directly in a template, the snippet of code would be:

\n

Note 2: To display all points that belong to more than one category in a same Google Map, separate the categories IDs with the comma symbol [codepeople-post-map cat=\"3,5\"]. The numbers 3 y 5 are the categories IDs, replace these numbers by the corresponding categories IDs. To insert the code directly in a template, the snippet of code would be:

\n

Note 3: To display all points defined in the website in a same Google Map, use -1 as the category’s ID:

[codepeople-post-map cat=\"-1\"]\n

 for template.\n

Note 4: To display all points that belong to the posts with a specific tag assigned in a same Google Map, for example the tag name “mytag”, use the shortcode’s attribute “tag”, as follows: [codepeople-post-map tag=\"mytag\"]. To insert the code directly in a template, the snippet of code would be:

\n

Note 5: To display the points belonging to specific posts or pages in a same Google Map, enter their ids separated by comma through the “id” attribute in the shortcode as follows: [codepeople-post-map id=\"123\"]. To insert the code directly in a template, the snippet of code would be:

\n

The “id” attribute has preference over the rest of the filtering attributes.

If you prefer configure your map directly from the shortcode, then you must enter an attribute for each map feature to specify. For example:

[codepeople-post-map width=\"500\" height=\"500\"]\n

The complete list of allowed attributes are:

Very Important. Some of attributes are available only in the premium and developer versions of the plugin.

width: Values allowed, number or percentage. Defines the map’s width:

[codepeople-post-map width=\"300\"]\n

[codepeople-post-map width=\"100%\"]\n

streetviewcontrol: Values allowed, 0 or 1. Displays or hide the street-view control in the Google Map:

[codepeople-post-map streetviewcontrol=\"1\"]\n

defaultpost: Defines the post ID, for centring the map, and display by default the infowindow corresponding to the first point associated to this post:

[codepeople-post-map defaultpost=\"396\"]\n

center: To define the center of the map, but if the infowindows are configured to be opened by default, the map will be centered in the point with the infowindow opened:

[codepeople-post-map center=\"40.7127837,-74.00594130000002\"]\n

legend: Accepts a taxonomy name as value. Some common taxonomies names are: category and post_tag, for the categories and tags, respectively. Displays the legend with the list of elements that belong to the taxonomy and are assigned to the posts associated with the points:

[codepeople-post-map legend=\"category\"]\n

legend_title: Text to be used as legend title:

[codepeople-post-map legend=\"category\" legend_title=\"Select the categories to display on map\"]\n

legend_class: Class name to be assigned to the legend. The legend design may be modified through CSS styles. Creates a class name, with the styles definition, and associates the new class name to the legend through the legend_class attribute:

[codepeople-post-map legend=\"category\" legend_class=\"my-legend-class\"]\n

tag: Tags slugs separated by “,”. Displays on map the points whose posts have assigned the tags:

[codepeople-post-map tag=\"tag1,tag2,tag3\"]\n

cat: Categories IDs separated by “,” or -1. Displays on map the points whose posts belong to the categories. The special value -1, allows display on map all points defined in the website:

[codepeople-post-map cat=\"2,4,56\"]\n\n[codepeople-post-map cat=\"-1\"]\n

excludecat: Categories IDs to exclude, separated by “,”. From points to be displayed on map, the plugin excludes the points whose posts belong to the categories to exclude:

[codepeople-post-map tag=\"tag1,tag2\" excludecat=\"4\"]\n

excludepost: Posts IDs to exclude separated by “,”:

[codepeople-post-map cat=\"-1\" excludepost=\"235,260\"]\n

excludetag: Tags IDs to exclude separated by “,”:

[codepeople-post-map excludetag=\"2,13\"]\n

taxonomy: The taxonomy is a special attribute that should be combined with other attributes, depending of taxonomies to use for points filtering. Suppose the website includes two new taxonomies: taxonomyA and taxonomyB, and the map should display all points that belong to the posts with the value T1 for taxonomyA, and T3,T4 for taxonomyB, the shortcode would be:

[codepeople-post-map taxonomy=\"taxonomyA,taxonomyB\" taxonomyA=\"T1\" taxonomyB=\"t2,t3\"]\n

Note 5: The geolocation information is stored in image’s metadata from mobiles or cameras with GPS devices.

Note 6: Some plugins interfere with the shortcodes replacements, and provokes that maps don’t be loaded correctly, in this case should be passed a new parameter through the shortcode print=1

Passing the parameter print=1, displays the map at beginning of page/post content.

Note 7: To display in the Google Map all points in posts with a specific taxonomy assigned, or multiple taxonomies, should be used the “taxonomy” attribute in the shortcode, with the list of all taxonomies separated by the comma symbol, for example: taxonomy=”taxonomy1,taxonomy2″, and a new attribute for each taxonomy with the values corresponding. For example if you want select the points that belong to the posts with the values: “value1” for “taxonomy1”, the shortcode would be:

[codepeople-post-map taxonomy=\"taxonomy1\" taxonomy1=\"value1\"]\n

for multiple taxonomies:

[codepeople-post-map taxonomy=\"taxonomy1,taxonomy2\" taxonomy1=\"value1\" taxonomy2=\"value2,value3\"].\n

post_type: In combination with other attributes like: cat, tag or taxonomy, it is possible to load on map only the points that belong to the post types in the list:

[codepeople-post-map cat=\"-1\" post_type=\"post,page\"]\n

excludepost_type: In combination with other attributes like: cat, tag or taxonomy, it is possible to load on map only the points that do not belong to the post types in the list:

[codepeople-post-map cat=\"-1\" excludepost_type=\"post\"]\n

kml: Absolute URL (http://…) to a KML file with the Keyhole Markup Language:

[codepeople-post-map kml=\"http://www.yourwebsite.com/your-file.kml\"]\n

\nQ: How can I disable all information windows of points?\n\n

A: Go to the settings of map (the settings page of plugin for settings of all maps, or the settings of a particular map), and uncheck the option “Show info bubbles”

\nQ: How can I use different icons, in the points markers?\n\n

A: To use your own icons, you only should to upload the icons images to the following location: “/wp-content/plugins/codepeople-post-map/images/icons/”, and then select the image from the list in the point’s definition.

\nQ: How can I use particular settings in a map?\n\n

A: You may use a particular settings in a map, defining the options directly as attributes of shortcode:

[codepeople-post-map width=\"100%\"]\n

If you are inserting the map in a particular page/post, you may check the field named “Use particular settings for this map”, and then entering the particular values in the settings options.

\nQ: Is possible to display the map as responsive design?\n\n

A: Yes, that is possible, you only should to define the width of map with values in percent. For example: 100%

\nQ: How to get the directions to the point?\n\n

A: Go to the settings page of plugin and check the box to display the “Get directions” link in the infowindow. The “Get directions” link will be displayed in the infowindow.

\nQ: Is possible to include multiple taxonomies in the maps’ legends?\n\n

A: In the shortcode can be defined the attribute “legend” for selecting the taxonomy to use in the legend of map:

[codepeople-post-map legend=\"category\"]\n

but from the version 5.0.6 of the plugin it is possible to define in the legend multiple taxonomies separated by comma, to include all of them in the map’s legend:

[codepeople-post-map legend=\"category,post_tag\"]\n

\nQ: How to open the point on Google Maps?\n\n

A: If you want to display a link to open the point directly on Google Maps, go to the settings page of plugin, and checks the box to display the link in the infowindow.

A: Yes, you can. Go to the menu option: “Appearance / Widgets” and insert the “CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps” widget on side bar.

\nQ: My images include geolocation information. Is possible use the geolocaion information stored in the image to generate points on map?\n\n

A: Go to the settings page of plugin and select the corresponding option to allow processing the information stored on image’s metadata, and then if an image uploaded to WordPress, includes geolocation information, will be generated a point with this information dynamically, that will be displayed on map.

\nQ: Why the maps are not showing on website?\n\n

A: Some plugins interfere with the shortcodes replacements, and provokes that maps don’t be loaded correctly, in this case should be passed a new parameter through the shortcode print=1
\nPassing the parameter print=1, displays the map at beginning of page/post content.

\nQ: It is possible to draw routes for flights between countries?\n\n

A: By default Google draws routes between points connected by cars, bus, trains, etc, but not for flights. So, in this case should be used polylines. To connect points with polylines, tick the attribute: “Connect the points with polylines, even if there is not a route between points”, in the settings page of maps.

\nQ: How can I change the route between address?\n\n

A: The route depends on the order of the points. If you want change the route, you should change the order of point. Takes the point by the handle’s icon, and drag it to its correct position in the points list.

\nQ: What are the differences between routes and polylines?\n\n

A: The routes are drawn on maps, only if there are known routes between the locations, based in the travelling mode (driving, walking), but if Google unknown a way between both address, is not able to draw the route. The polylines are straight lines connecting two addresses, even if there is not a route. It is main difference between both concepts, and why the polylines are preferred for representing flights.

\nQ: Is possible create routes between points in different posts?\n\n

A: Yes, it’s possible to draw a route including points belonging to different posts/pages, but in the current version of the plugin would be needed duplicate some points. Visit the following link to our technical blog with detailed instructions:

http://blog.net-factor.com/how-connecting-multiple-posts-on-a-route/

\nQ: How can I centring the map in a point defined a specific post, and display its infowindow?\n\n

A: Use the “defaultpost” attribute, in the map’s shortcode, as follows:

[codepeople-post-map defaultpost=\"231\"]\n

The number is the post’s ID

\nQ: I’ve configured the sizes of the map to be displayed with a responsive design, but the map is not showing\n\n

A: To display the maps with a responsive design, you should define the map’s width with percentages (for example 100% if you want that the map width be the same that its container), but PAY ATTENTION, in web development the treatment of the width and height is different. The page width is limited by the browser’s width, but with the height it is not apply. So, you should enter a fixed height(for example 320px).

The only way to define the map’s height in percentages, is if the element that contain the map has defined a fixed height.

\nQ: Can be inserted a link in the infowindow?\n\n

A: It is possible insert links, and any other HTML element in the infowindow. You only should insert HTML tags directly in the point description. For example, to insert a link to our web page: <a href="http://wordpress.dwbooster.com">Click Here</a>

\nQ: After entering an address, and to press the verify button, the address is modified, and the pin is displayed in a different location of the map\n\n

A: If after pressing the “verify” button, the address is modified dynamically, and the pin is displayed in another location, the cause is simple. If Google Maps does not recognize an address, it uses the nearest known address, and displays the pin on this location.

To solve the issue, you simply should drag and drop the pin in the correct location, and type the address again, but this time “DON’T PRESS AGAIN THE VERIFY BUTTON”.

\nQ: I’ve inserted an image in the page, but have not been generated a new point in the map\n\n

A: First, be sure you have checked the option “Generate points dynamically from geolocation information included on images, when images are uploaded to WordPress”, from the settings page of the plugin.

Second, be sure the image includes the Exif tags with the geolocation information (latitude and longitude)

Finally, you should upload the image from the “Add Media” button of the page or post, and not from the media library.

\nQ: Can be generated a point from the page publication, with the location of the author?\n\n

A: Yes, that is possible but only from the WordPress App, available for iPhone, iPad and Android, with the option for sharing the location enabled in the application. Furthermore, from the settings page of the plugin, should be checked the option: “Generate points dynamically from geolocation information included on posts”

\nQ: How to display a map in the search results page, with the points defined in the resulting posts and pages?\n\n

A: To insert a map in the results page with the points defined in the resulting posts and pages, you simply should identify the template file, in the active theme on your WordPress, that is used in the search page (usually it is called search.php), and inserts the map’s shortcode directly in the file’s content:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[codepeople-post-map]' ); ?>\n

\nQ: Can be searched in the website by the points information?\n\n

A: If was checked the option “Use points information in search results”, from the settings page of the plugin. The searching process will consider the points information too, and the posts and pages resulting could be selected by its points.

Pay attention, the results of search will be the posts and pages that include the points, not the point directly.

\nQ: What styles are used in the infowindows?\n\n

A: The design of infowindows is defined through styles in the cpm-styles.css file, located in “/wp-content/plugins/codepeople-post-map/styles/cpm-styles.css”, specifically with the styles:

    .cpm-infowindow {margin:0; padding:0px; min-height:80px; font-size:11px; clear:both;}\n    .cpm-infowindow .cpm-content {float:left;width:100%; color:black;}\n    .cpm-infowindow .cpm-content .title {font-size:12px; line-height: 18px; font-weight:bold; color:black;}\n    .cpm-infowindow .cpm-content .address {font-weight:bold; font-size:9px;}\n    .cpm-infowindow .cpm-content .description {font-size:10px;}\n

\nQ: Can be highlighted the post or page related with the point on map?\n\n

A: From the settings page of the plugin, there are two options:

Highlight post when mouse move over related point on map
Highlight class

If you check the option: “Highlight post when mouse move over related point on map”, and enter a class name in the “Highlight class” attribute, in the maps inserted on pages with multiple entries, the class name will be applied to the post, or page, when the mouse is moved over a point associated in the corresponding page or post.

\nQ: How can be created shapes on map?\n\n

A: In the map’s definition, directly in the page or post where the map is being inserted, there is the checkbox: “Do you want display a shape on map?”, please, tick the checkbox to expand the shape’s section.

The shape’s section includes some options like: the stroke weight (if you don’t want to display an stroke around the shape, set its value to zero), the fill colour (the colour code with the format: #FFFFFF, to select the shape colour), and the opacity to be applied to the shape, take into consideration than zero is transparent and 1 is opaque. Remember, the shape is displayed over the map, if you set the opacity to 1, won’t be possible to see the map’s area.

Now the most important part create the shape’s area. To create the shape’s area is sufficient with click in the map at right (Don’t worry, the pins are not included in the final map, are inserted in the preview map to allow modify the shape’s area). Through the pins at right map it is possible modify the shape’s area, click on the pin to delete it, or drag the pin to another location to vary the shape.
