Understanding Categorys

    I’m a bit confused by the import=”osm_l” import_osm_cat_incl_name=”XXX”]

    I would like to have a map of all my posts and have geotagged the ones I want to show and included them in a sub category called Europe. Am I right in thinking the XXX should be Europe – if so why do my posts not show up? I’ve read some posts that suggest only the parent category shows and my Europe is a sub category of Countries. Is this the reason?

    I also don’t really understand what the import=”osm_1″ is . Would someone mind explaining this to me please?

    many thanks for a great plugin,
    Jon

    Update:
    I’ve managed to get my posts to show up in my map by leaving the import_osm_cat_incl_name out. I also found that I hadn’t tagged some of the posts properly too.

    I’m still no really sure why using the import_osm_cat_incl_name=”Countries” wouldn’t work though and I’d still like to know what the osm_1 is for if anyone has a chance to tell me please. Thanks

    Hi lindaandjon,

    you can filter your posts/pages on parent category level:

    import_osm_cat_incl_name…will show only this category
    import_osm_cat_excl_name…will show all except this category

    import=”osm”…shows only the headline
    import=”osm_l”…shows the headline and the shorttext

    If you copy/paste a shortcode you should check there is no stylinfo in your shortcode – best way is to change the editor mode from “visuell” to “text”. Or feel free to create a testpage with your short and write also the shortcode with a * in the text. Post it here to check more details.

    Thanks for that, much clearer now :-). I assume it can’t show sub categories yet?

    Hi lindaandjon,

    yes – currently you can filter only to parent categories, which includes then all subcategories.
