OpenStreetMap plugin to embed a map with markers to articles from different categories in different map layers.

Description

OSM Categories embed an OpenStreetMap map to your page by using the OpenLayer API. For every category in your blog a differnt layer on your map show markers for every article with an geotag. You just have to save the lon and lan parameters in a custom field. It's possible to use different marker images for every category.

In your page just insert the shortcode: [osm-cats]

Open the plugin settings page for basic settings like:

• map dimensions
• map center point
• initial zoom faktor
• exclude categories
• article custom field for marker lon and lat parameters
• marker popup content
• marker images path

It's still BETA so please send me feedback and your ideas! Thanx a lot.

Compatibility with wp plugin geolocation

Hi great plugin, many thanks.

I'm using the android wp app, together with wp plugin geolocation (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geolocation/)

The only problem ist that geolocation plugin is using two sepperate custom fields for Lon and Lat. So i added some additional code to your plugin to get it to work. It's probably not fool proof but for me it works:

register_setting( 'osm_cats', 'osm_cats_marker_custom_fieldLon' ); //extra Lon field
register_setting( 'osm_cats', 'osm_cats_marker_custom_fieldLat' ); //extra Lat field
...

Or



Name of the two sepperate custom fields for Lon and Lat parameter. As used by geolocation plugin.
...
$lonlat_custom_fieldLon = get_option('osm_cats_marker_custom_fieldLon');
$lonlat_custom_fieldLat = get_option('osm_cats_marker_custom_fieldLat');
...
if($lonlat_value == '') {
if(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $lonlat_custom_fieldLon, true) != '' || get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $lonlat_custom_fieldLat, true) != '') {
$lonlat_value = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $lonlat_custom_fieldLon, true).', '.get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $lonlat_custom_fieldLat, true);
}
}

maybe you can add something like this "officially"
thanks

LonLat custom field not appearing

Hi,

I'm currently working on getting the plug in going on mappingthecommons.org/osm, but unfortunately the custom field you defined for the marker placement isn't showing up as an option.

Any suggestions?

Works with custom taxonomies ??

hi there,
does the plugin work with custom taxonomies or just categories ?
thx
