There's a nice guestmap here; uses php and mysql. Works fine standalone:
http://www.thompsonbd.com/guestmap.php
Tried various methods, from using the php exec plugin, to using an iframe (ugly way, IE doesn't work that way either).
Not really sure I "get" this whole embedding thing - tried playing with the "plugins used" template page from the vslider theme, but there's clearly some kind of "link" I'm missing.
Don't suppose anyone with the skills wants to make a plugin of this? I'm sure it'd be useful for quite a few people.!
Thanks
look for the RunPHP plugin - worked like a charm for me.
You just have to remember to use the non-wysiwyg editor when writing or editing the page where you include the php file.
Sorry, runphp was the other one I tried, too!
And I used non-wysiwyg too. I think it's a little more complex than just pasting code!
did you follow the installation instructions completely? it's not just a "drag and drop" plugin.
i've used it on several sites and not had a problem with it... what version of WP are you using?
I think the problem is happening in the fact that there are script calls in head and there's an onload in the body - for example:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=A" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="guestmap/pdmarker.js"
<? include('guestmap/process.php'); ?>
<title>guestMap 2.5</title>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad()">
etc
(sorry about formatting - I tried putting the code tag between backticks, but it doesn't seem to work)
backticks aren't the same as single quotes - just FYI for the future... backticks are the key to the left of the number 1 on the top line of your keyboard... :)
is your problem resolved now?
Thanks - I WAS putting a backtick!
see? here is some code between backticks
Anyway, if anyone else was looking for a guestmap, someone helped me out and the result can be downloaded here:

Not that you don't drop the code into a wordpress page, rather just a seperate file in the wordpress dir.

If someone has a more in depth explanation how to get this on a wordpress page, then don't hesitate to tell me. I am lost.
Well, it's been 8 months. That developer has kind of given up on it and I'm looking for a decent Google Maps based guestmap, even if it can't be embedded in WordPress.
I don't want to use an externally hosted on because they either disappear, or suddenly start flooding you with adverts!
