Hi Kevin,
Indeed the Global Maps add-on is not yet compatible with GEO my WP 2.5. That is the main reason I am holding off the official release of GEO my WP 2.5. I need to finish the update of the add-ons.
But there is a work around for you. without the need of the Global Maps add-on but only using GEO my WP 2.5.
Follow the steps below:
1) Create a new Post Types form in the back-end.
2) Under the “Search Form” tab for the “Search Form Template” dropdown choose “– Disable Search form –“.
3) Move to “Page Load Results” tab and check the “Display locations on page load” checkbox.
4) Check the checkbox of the post type which the category you want to display belongs to.
5) For the “Display Map?” radio buttons check “Using shortcode”.
6) For Results Per Page text box use -1 ( to display all results ).
Above are the basic settings you need for the map to work. You can setup other filters in this tab as you wish.
7) Go to your map page and add the shortcodes:
[gmw form=”form_id”]
[gmw map=”map_id”]
8) Open the functions.php file of your theme and add the script below:
function gmw_display_results_by_category( $tax_args, $gmw ) {
$tax_args = array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'category',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'uncategorized',
)
);
return $tax_args;
}
add_filter( 'gmw_pt_tax_query', 'gmw_display_results_by_category', 10, 2 );
The example script will filter the results based on taxonomy “category” and term “categorized”. You will need to adjust it based on your needs ( your taxonomy and term to display).
9 ) save the file and test the page.
Basically what I did above is I use the new Page Load Results tab to display a map of post type post on page load. I also choose to hide the search form which results in a mashup map of posts. And last thing I did is added a script which filter the wp_query to display only posts belongs to “uncategorized” term.
Let me know if that help.
