Thanks for the fixes - these are all being added into the GeoPress code base and will be pushed out after some testing.

I was looking around and ran across nextgen causing some problems. I removed it and all the other javascript on my pages (minus the geopress stuff) and I'm still seeing the error. It appears as though the issue is with the geopress plugin and not any incompatibility with other plugins.

it is installed, but inactive. is there a connection there?

Are you using NextGen galleries by chance?

I am still looking ofr a solution as well. I have not heard anything more about it since I originally posted it here.

I am experiencing the exact same problem in almost the exact same scenario in IE7. I'm using the same function on an Author page and getting the gray box and same message. The map works fine on individual post pages and on the Author page in FF 3.0. Has anyone heard any more on this?

Has anyone else had an issue with the geopress map function on a category page with IE.

I have it on a category page and it works fine in FireFox but it does not work in IE 6 or 7 If gives an error.

Object doesn't support this property or method.

I absolutely love this plug in, but I need to find a solution to the issue with IE. If any of you have it running on your site I would love to know how you got it working.

I am using it just like it is on the first post.

<?php echo geopress_map(200, 400, -1, true, true); ?> with a size change.

any ideas?

Thanks.

AJ, thanks for getting back. Yup, not all Crime posts have an exact location. If you need a copy of my WP database for test info, let me know and I'll send you the file. Oh, and feel free to contact me at any time at ken@dailynewarker.com.

Thanks.

Ah - indeed it looks like there may be some kind of bug here - though not one I've seen before.

Not all the posts have locations, right? Seems like I need to make a test to try for varying posts with and without locations.

Map of all sub-pages of a page

I'm wondering if the solution you offered for "Category map of all entries/posts" will work for subpages as well.

I have tried to use this function in order to show the location of climbing boulders on my site. Each boulder has a page and all these pages are listed under a climbing parent page. Unfortunately, when I employ the function, it returns a map of all locations on my site, indicating that somehow I need to tell the function it has a narrower selection of content to choose from.

Any ideas on how I could do this? Maybe it is more of a question of template tags and php programming in WP. I hope not because I have no working knowledge of either.

PS - I've done a little looking around. Would something like this help? In a template based on the standard page template, I code before the loop a php script that basically says: if subpage of page# then ... and then in the loop include the map script. Sound logical?

Hi AJ, I tried this, too, but am not getting the right results -- I think I may have found a bug.

For whatever reason, I only get one marker, with a bubble that shows multiple stories. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is the current documentation for the function.
---
// $height, $width are the h/w in pixels of the map
// $locations is the last N locations to put on the map, be default puts *all* locations
// $unique_id is a true/false if a unique_id is required
// $loop_locations set this to true if you're running this in a Post loop and want a map of the currently visible posts
// $zoom_level set the map zoom level for the overview. Default is to auto zoom to show all markers.

function geopress_map($height = "", $width = "", $locations = -1, $unique_id, $loop_locations = false, $zoom_level = -1)
---

Someone did submit a patch to have better map overview functionality for also including routes - so this function may move to merge those two functions.

Matt replied on May 23, 2008 06:54 to the question "Category map of all entries/posts" in Mapufacture:

AJ ... can you please specify what the variables in your expression above control? Your documentation explains the height and width variables, but what do the others control (... -1, true, true)? What other possible variables are there?

Is it safe to assume that this same template functionality would also work for all posts bearing a particular tag (as opposed to categories)?

In answer to your question about what types of content might go into a Marker Bubble, I'd like to include the ability to hyperlink to either a page for "All posts at this location" or "Specified post/page". The simplest way to achieve this would be with a text box allowing html, but it would be pretty slick to have the option with a drop down box or radio buttons.
