if we are talking about simplemap 2.2.5, then:
step 1: get the search helper to include the permalink in the results, that’s easy:
--- _xml-search.php 2011-07-27 20:07:22.000000000 -0700
+++ xml-search.php 2011-09-24 00:26:21.000000000 -0700

'lat' => esc_attr( $location->lat ),
step 2: make use of it in classes/simplemap.php – i’m not including the code for this (because i’m not satisfied with the changes i’ve made); however, here’s what to do:
go to the javascript function searchLocationsNear(). you’ll see this:
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++ ) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute('name');
add a new variable there:
var plink = markers[i].getAttribute('plink');
later on you will see two calls that look like this:
var marker = createMarker(...);
...
varsidebarEntry = createSidebarEntry(...);
add plink as a parameter to each them. then scroll down the file until you find these two javascript functions. add the parameter to each and then make use of it however you want.
for example, instead of putting up the website url you could put up a link that says “More Details” with the permalink.
finally, although i have had great success making a few changes and fixing a few minor bugs with this plugin, i’m probably going to move to the premium version soon, simply because i don’t want to have to keep backporting the diffs.
