yes, you can add markers directly without saving them to database by using the following shortcode: [mapsmarker mlat=”” mlon=””]
That works great. Is there a way to get markers that are in the database to show up on this kind of shortcode map?
markers that are saved to the database are accessible via shortcode by default. Just use [mapsmarker marker=”1″] or [mapsmarker layer=”1″] for example…
I am looking to have them show up automatically, if the happened to fall within the area of the map.
Calling each one with a shortcode would defeat the purpose of the latitude and longitude call.
mmhh – try this one: create a multi layer map (switch to advanced editor for this), then select “show all markers” and select the center and zoom of the layer, save the layer map and add the shortcode to your post/page. Each new marker added which is within the layers bounding box, will show up automatically on the muli-layer-map….
actually you dont need to create a multi layer map with show all markers checked – adding a normal layer map and adding new markers to this map would be enough. This could help in better organizing your markers…
I plan on having hundreds of maps which will be invoked from the theme by latitude and longitude. It would be great to have the markers that occur on any potential map show up.
So I would have no layers, but many many markers.
@projwest
an idea could be to put your points in a fusion table and to add a fusion table layer to your maps.
I’m experimenting that here: http://franceimage.com/net/places-to-visit-in-france/
However, this would be GoogleMap specific …
Can you describe a use case (how it would be used on your site) ?
well – if you like using my plugin than multi layer maps with option show all markers enabled are the only thing I can currently think of which could fulfill this need…
