In reply to: need a plugin for travel map or routeThere is no plugin that I presently know of that can do this, which is why it is a planned feature for gPress – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gpress/ – but cannot yet confirm a date that it will be added, but can confirm it is in the roadmap and on the books…

In reply to: Google Map locations linked to separate listYou should be able to achieve something very similar using gPress – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gpress/ – which is presently in its earlier BETA stages but is still one of the most powerful geo=-tagging tools available for WordPress.
If you run into any problems or need additional help, please drop by the gPress forums over on BuddyPress.org – http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/

In reply to: using gPress in the frontendPlease note that Version 0.2.4.2 of gPress has now been uploaded to the repository, which includes the filters mentioned above. Please let me know if there are any problems.
In the future, if you have any additional support requests or feedback, I’d suggest joining the BuddyPress.org community (uses the same username and password as this forum does), where our official gPress forums are – http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/

A screen-shot, an example, and explanation as to what configuration page you are referring to and to what extent it is broken?
Are there any specific PHP or JS warnings or errors?

In reply to: using gPress in the frontendI have added two filters (one for the map icon and one for the Foursquare icon) that allow you to change the ID. Those filters are:
gpress_tinymce_textareaand…
gpress4sq_tinymce_textareaAllowing you to do something like:
function new_gpress_tinymce_textarea() { return 'new-id'; } add_filter( 'gpress_tinymce_textarea', 'new_gpress_tinymce_textarea' );However, since this is such a minor customized add-on specifically for you (at this point), you will need to wait until the next public release (either version 0.2.4.1.2 or 0.2.4.2) – sorry about that. 🙂

In reply to: using gPress in the frontendIt sounds like a good idea and one I would like to help with, but no ideas come straight to mind on how I might be able to best add the dynamic selector that you are looking for.
Do you have any ideas on how this might be achieved or why exactly you cannot change the ID of the other content box?
I will add this request to the list of things that would be nice to look into if we had the time, but if a solution comes to mind in the meantime, I add the feature in.
Otherwise, it might be best to keep track of support issues via our official forums in the BuddyPress.org community:

In reply to: [gPress] gpress with wp3.0 multisiteUnfortunately, although we have done testing on multi-site set-ups, we have not had the opportunity to test mapped domains, so am unsure as to what to suggest as I can’t be sure when I would get around to finding the spare time to test such a set-up – unless you can provide me access to something online to look and debug – but that would need to wait until the weekend.
I’d also suggest joining us in the BuddyPress community site, as its much easier to communicate, and gPress also has its own forum at:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/What’s more, the BuddyPress community may have some additional clues regarding the mapped domain problems…

In reply to: [gPress] [Plugin: gPress] Custom FieldsYou would need to further clarify what you are trying to achieve.
What do you mean by “include all post locations using custom fields automatically” mean…? Are you saying you already have the coordinates of the posts as custom fields or do you mean something else…?
If there is no existing geo-relevant information associated with the posts, there is no magical way of adding it after the fact, not unless its formulated in some way with all posts from a certain category going to a certain location, but even then, that cannot be done out of the box and to be honest, would probably end-up messy, as its not very good when you have multiple posts or places in the exact same location…
If you could elaborate further as to what you really need, I will let you know if gPress is presently capable of doing or has it on its roadmap to accomplish further.
Several of these advanced directory-based features will be directed towards the BuddyPress integration elements, so its well worth taking a look at the BuddyPress gPress forums:
If possible, please keep as much gPress support questions to the official forum as possible – http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/
We do have a KNOWN bug at the moment for the gPress Options page if using Internet Explorer, which prevents you from accessing the tabs other than the first one. This only happens in internet explorer.
Is this what you mean? Are you using Internet Explorer?
We are hoping to have this issue resolved by the next version…

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Geo Tagging OverviewWould suggest you take a look at the plugin I am working on in my spare time – its called gPress – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gpress/ – if used in conjunction with BuddyPress, it is capable of showing an overview of all geo-tagged posts made sitewide.
In addition, it is fully compatible with the native WordPress mobile applications and does everything Geolocation does and more.
Please use the official gPress forums if you have any questions or need any help getting started – http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/

In reply to: [gPress] [Plugin: gPress] Multiple locations, one map@litepack – would much rather continue this discussions in the BuddyPress Forums, as it is more suited for participation:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/However, for those joining in at a later date, I like the idea of importing locations, but at present, we still need to (as a gPress community) decide what is best for the future of “places”, before we determine how to import and export the data for them.
There is a discussion in the gPress forum at the moment regarding this:
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/forum/topic/kmz-files/When you say you would want to have the listing shown in a list format, have you looked at the “Recent Places” sidebar widget? You can title this whatever you like and choose to display as many “listed” places as you like. I guess it would be useful to be able to add this via a shortcode on posts and pages too?
Each time you add a place, it adds it as a new post type, with one location as a marker on the map within “The Loop” of that post type. Depending on how you set-up your advanced settings, you can show either posts, places or posts and place. It is also possible (using shortcodes) to add a map to any page that displays all of the locations within that one map. Some very basic documentation and examples of this can be seen at:
http://smalley.my/gpress/shortcodes/The necessary shortcode for displaying all places on one map is:
[gpress place_id="all"]With this in mind, does gPress do what you expected, or do you envision some other way of handling posts and places?
The only post type presently added by gPress is “place”, so the available post types on a standard WordPress install would be “post”, “page”, “comment” and “place”.
Both posts and places can have categories, and both have their own taxonomies, where a post archive would show each post for that category as an individual item, so too do the place category pages, showing each location as an individual place, as seen here:
http://smalley.my/gpress/blog/places/residential/Adding multiple markers to a single map is more “directory” based in many ways, which is why the true power and potential of gPress really relies in BuddyPress.
One existing feature for using it with BuddyPress is that not only do you then get to add your own “user” location, but you are also able to display a map on your user profile page that shows all the geo-tagged posts you have made across the entire network.
In addition, all of our future directory based features will be specifically built for BuddyPress.
Have you used BuddyPress before?
