 * oh…sure
 * so…you would put in the box below the post something like:
    Kennedy Space Center
   Florida
 * When you save it will include the information about Kennedy Space Center.
 * You can either display it by using
    [wp_places formattedAddress] or in the settings
   panel you can turn on the div that displays all the info.
 * You did set your Google Places API Web Service Key correct?

 * Correct.
 * That is exactly what it does…
    When you enter the business name in the text box
   and save that post does the box indicate it was able to find anything?
 * Perhaps you can email me the business name and I’ll try and test it further. 
   Sometimes the search needs more specific information.

 * Hmm…that is interesting.
    I consider this plugins roll to be adding ancillary
   data to a post. It sounds like what your’e looking for is a plugin that given
   a CSV input will create posts?
 * I’m interested in this…can you provide me a sample of a few lines of the csv?
   
   you can email me plugins at _myusername_.com (binarygary.com)

 * Oh! I haven’t updated documentation yet…
    The shortcodes available are listed
   in the readme.

 * Great…1.1.4 has some known bugs with the shortcode for Phone Number, Longitude,
   and Hours of Operation.
    I’ve fixed those in 1.1.5 and hope to push that tonight.
 * So, keep your eyes peeled for 1.1.5 as that will give you most of what you need.

 * Hey wasanajones,

   it a shot…

 * Yeah…that’s why I wrote it…I knew the info was available but couldn’t figure 
   out how to expose it within WP. (or find a plugin that would for me).
 * I don’t know if I’ll go so far as pushing reviews back to google as that seems
   to extend into a scope of user-input as opposed to admin input which is not an
   area I have interest in for quite a few reasons.
 * So, my plan going forward is to create a settings page where users can decide
   whether to auto-include the basic <div> (as the plugin is currently written) 
   and what info to show the user as well as settings area to format the CSS
    OR
   allow the user to turn off the <div> entirely and utilize shortcodes to access
   the specific attributes they want. [WP_Places address] [WP_Places hours] or something
   like that…

 * Thanks very much for the quick feedback!
 * You’re correct of course…my field naming on the general tab is sloppy.
    Will 
   fix that in 1.0.2….
 * I’m sort of torn on NAP because the idea is that you can put in the name and 
   a bit of info you have about the place just like a google search (since that 
   is in fact what it is).
 * Google place reviews, shortcode are on the roadmap.
    Likely I’ll do the shortcode
   first because I’m not certain on how to integrate the reviews in a meaningful
   way other than to give them to the user and let them figure out how to style 
   them.
 * Thanks again for the feedback.
