Description
A collection of widgets for displaying maps, images, and/or videos in your
website sidebars.
Sidebar Map
Maps are powered by the Google Maps API v3. Locations can be automatically
geocoded or latitude and longitude coordinates can be specified for more precise
control. Multiple map locations (pins) are supported.
Sidebar Image & Sidebar Video
Images and videos play in a prettyPhoto lightbox. External images are
supported. Videos can be hosted on either YouTube or Vimeo. Viddler is currently
not supported.
Notes
This plugin pairs well with the Simple Page Sidebars plugin to allow different
images, videos, or maps to be displayed on individual pages.
