WP Cloudmade Maps

Descripción

With WP Cloudmade Maps you are able to add static and interactive maps to your website using Cloudmades designable OpenStreetMaps-Data.
This way you can add maps that fits your webdesign. Choose from over 50.000 ready-to-use map styles or create your own with the CloudMade Style Editor.

The Plugin comes with

• a widget to show your last geotagged posts with static maps,
• a shortcode for static maps
• two shortcodes for interactive maps

and countless attributes, to fit the maps your ideas.

All shortcodes are accessible via an user-friendly tinymce button and a lightweight configuration interface for editors.
As Administrator you’re able to set everything as defaults, so your editor just have to ‘click & drop’ a new map inside a post, page or a custom_post_type at all.

  • selectable categories,
  • choosen tags,
  • specific users,
  • defined date-ranges,
  • specific post-types,
  • or anything else you could pick up and filter with a WP_Query request – this is the higher vision 😉

Arbitrary section

All shortcodes and its attributes are described and documented inside the WordPress “help”-tab on the upper right corner of each settings page. Have a look over there if you want to use the shortcodes in your theme files.

If you are having a feature request or bug-reports for this plugin, open an issue on github.com.
If there is nothing from you, I’ll go on doing one of the following:

roadmap

• update the help-section inside the help-tab for the enclosing variant of [cmm_active_single] and for [cmm_active_group]
• upgrading to CloudMades new “leaflet” library, when it supports the cloudmade style-ID for different map styles
• give the ability to define horizontal- and vertical-anchor for larger Marker Icons
• add an option to decide, whether to output xhtml or html markup
• add geo:RSS markup to feeds
• add an error message for non-existing default latitude and longitude in general settings
• add the ability to show the active maps with a caption of the address
• add a “show on map link”, to jump directly to a specific point
• upload an “out of range” tile image
• upload an own loading image
• enable / disable Marker clustering for active-group-maps
• upload own cluster images
• add routing between two points, your posts position and your site-visitors position for example
• remove PHP notices and warnings from the widget code
• setup a demo page with example maps
• GUI bugfix: pre-selected checkboxes could’t be de-selected by inserting via GUI
