Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_google_map - display articles on google maps
Cool plugin, but not exactly what I was looking for. I need a plugin that does the following:
- show a world map
- for each article containing data in custom fields google_co1/google_co2, put a marker that links to the article
- google_co1 and google_co2 are the latitude and longitude coordinates.
Any solutions, anyone?

Any word on whether this plugin plays well with zem_event?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_google_map - display articles on google maps
Would it be possible to enter (somewhere in a string, or in customfields) longitude and lattitude? That would solve a problem for non-US users. It might even speed up things, as Yahoo doens’t have to do the search effort.
Of course, for the author of an article, it would mean looking up the exact coordinates, for instance in Google Earth, but hey, that’s not so big a deal.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_google_map - display articles on google maps
After many requests, the plugin now supports international addresses by allowing you to specify latitude and longitude rather than just a street address.
rss_google_map 0.5
The plugin supports mapping worldwide locations in two ways.
Method #1: Call the plugin as below by specifying the latitude, longitude and title to display on the map popup.
<txp:rss_google_map lat="38.898563" long="-77.037223" geotitle="The White House" />
Method #2: Call the plugin on an article form as below where the latfield and longfield are the custom field names that hold your map coordinates.
<txp:rss_google_map section="yoursection" latfield="Latitude" longfield="Longitude" usearticle="1" />

Beautiful. Thank you!

Hmm, would it be very hard to create a thingy that displays something like “… km from home” in a geocoded article?
Of course first you’d have to define ‘home’. But then?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_google_map - display articles on google maps
Hi Rob,
Is possible to have an attribute to set the default view as “Hybrid” or “Satellite”? For Romania is not much road detail in Google Maps :)

Hi Rob,
Is it possible to output just a link to the map?
I’m trying to implement it in a situation where I need a view map link.
When clicked, the map will get displayed. I’m sure there are ways to do this, but for some reason I’m having trouble coming up with one. : )

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_google_map - display articles on google maps
Thanks for this great plug-in, Rob!
I have a little problem: the map displays in one section, but not in other sections. It just leaves a blank space. But when you check the source of the page, all the required information to display the map is actually there…
This is my code in the article form:
<txp:rss_google_map section="en,jp,nl" latfield="latitude" longfield="longitude" usearticle="1" width="517" />
You can see the results here:
Map displayed: http://oldphotosjapan.com/en/8/osaka-1880s-shitennoji-temple
No map displayed: http://oldphotosjapan.com/nl/10/osaka-jaren-1880-shitennoji-temple
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

• MeijiShowa – Stock photos of Japan in the 1850s~1960s (100% txp)
• JapaneseStreets.com – Japanese street fashion (mostly txp)
