FYI – both Foursquare and BuddyPress integration are now part of gPress core…

@gpo1 – I took a look at the site and have a feeling that version 0.2 will solve your problems, but am having some issues of my own getting the Foursquare integration to work online, which has delayed the release a little. Would suggest you deactivate for now and try again with 0.2

Perhaps it’s worth following us on Twitter to know as soon as the new version is out – http://twitter.com/pressbuddies

Thanks again for your support and sorry for the problems…

@gpo1 – do you have the example online so I can take a look…?

At this stage, all testing has been done on the default Twenty Ten theme only, but can’t imagine what might be the problem…

It’s either a conflict in CSS or… To be honest, it’s hard to say without seeing it in action…

Are you saying that after activating the plugin it messes up the style of all the normal posts, or that just the geo-tagged posts and places are messed up…?

Could you please confirm whether the same problem occurs after you switch the “Loop Settings” from the gPress Options to “POSTS ONLY”…?

If you sent me a copy of the theme I could take a better look to see what the specific problem is, either that or put it online somewhere and give me the log-in details.

Not sure how to private message you with my email address though…?

Also, it is worth mentioning that gPress and Geolocation will not work together – you will need to deactivate Geolocation before activating gPress…

Foursquare integration is coming VERY soon – hopefully before version 0.2

At present, if you want the places to show-up in the normal post loops, as opposed to being in their own loop, you need to add a query_post before the loop as follows:

query_posts( array( 'post_type' => array('post', 'place') ) );

This will show posts and places…

If you want to run a loop with only places, you just need to add:

query_posts('post_type=place');

We will try to add this in naturally within the next version so that no modifications are needed to be made to the theme files.

Nonetheless, all “places” that you do make can be reached regardless of editing the theme file, which depends upon how you have your permalinks set. There is not much documentation available on custom post types and permalinks at this stage.

@pavelevap – the latest version of gPress has loads of new features, including custom markers for geo-tagged posts, places and widgets, as seen in the latest post from our demo site:

http://smalley.my/gpress/new-features-in-version-0-1-9-of-gpress/

All of the things you are asking for are on our roadmap, but cannot be done right now, not unless you hack the files.

As of writing this, gPress is on version 0.1.9.1.

We will be introducing shortcodes that will allow people to add maps to pages and display multiple markers on the same map before version 0.2

We will start working on translations and language files during the 0.2 to 0.3 cycle of production.

We have not specifically planned for custom markers at this point, as we felt it was more important to work on other functionality, but since it is something you are looking for, I will take a look at it over the weekend and see if I can find a way to add it in to the features before version 0.2 is released…
