briefly, it does not allow the query string to contain a ‘=’, which is, regrettably a non-sequitor since query string is supposed to be a series of key/value pairs…

and i blamed suffusion! initially…

oops! i misunderstood. i’m pretty sure that the plugin imports things to posts only, no pages. if you want it as a page, that’s easy enough with cut-and-paste and two browser windows.

in terms of the media library: when the plugin does it’s thing, there are four sections of output:

1. “Importing HTML files…” followed by a table with four columns. the fourth column is “Title” and that contains links to the imported posts

2. “Importing images…” which ends with “Go to the Media Library.” you can click on that to see the images, etc., that came along with the posts.

3. “Fixing relative links…” and finally “All done!”

the key thing is that the first section gives you links to each imported article.

andrew – looking at http://oaktreeave.com/curated-products/cookware/all-clad-stainless-9-piece-cookware-set/ today – it looks like you fixed the issue.

could you share the fix?

tsbah – if you aren’t seeing any errors, but the content area is blank, look at the “Content” tab under “Settings > HTML Import” – under “Select Content by” you have to enter the HTML tag that contains the content. usually, you also have to specify an attribute value as well. for example, if you want to import everything in

<div id=’content’> … </div>

then the tag is ‘div’, the attribute is ‘id’, and the value is ‘content’ (do not enter the single-quotes).

if the element isn’t present in the HTML file, then you are going to get posts without any content…

if we are talking about simplemap 2.2.5, then:

step 1: get the search helper to include the permalink in the results, that’s easy:

 						'description' => apply_filters( 'the_content', $location->post_content ),
 						'lat' => esc_attr( $location->lat ),

step 2: make use of it in classes/simplemap.php – i’m not including the code for this (because i’m not satisfied with the changes i’ve made); however, here’s what to do:

go to the javascript function searchLocationsNear(). you’ll see this:

for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++ ) {
						var name = markers[i].getAttribute('name');

add a new variable there:

var plink = markers[i].getAttribute('plink');

later on you will see two calls that look like this:

var marker = createMarker(...);
...
varsidebarEntry = createSidebarEntry(...);

add plink as a parameter to each them. then scroll down the file until you find these two javascript functions. add the parameter to each and then make use of it however you want.

for example, instead of putting up the website url you could put up a link that says “More Details” with the permalink.

finally, although i have had great success making a few changes and fixing a few minor bugs with this plugin, i’m probably going to move to the premium version soon, simply because i don’t want to have to keep backporting the diffs.
