[Plugin: Google Maps v3 Shortcode multiple Markers] Generate Shortcode

hi, luispic!

Glad, that the plugin works for you !
Don’t get your question though .. what do you mean by “how can I generate the shortcode?”

First install and activate the plugin.
Then, if you are in the admin section of your wordpress installation, select an article (post) or page where you want to include a google map.

Then paste this piece of code in the WYSIWYG editor

[MultipleMarkerMap id=”MultipleMarkerMapDemo” z=”12″ lat=”48.220162″ lon=”16.287525″ marker=”48.193054,16.261282,Bar,https://google-maps-icons.googlecode.com/files/cocktail.png|48.220162,16.287525,point-of-view,https://google-maps-icons.googlecode.com/files/beautiful.png” w=”690″ h=”442″]

Now adapt the markers lat/lon values as you wish.

hope that helps !

That was my question, how to “generate” all that shortcode:

[MultipleMarkerMap id=… ]

But from what I understand I need the lattitude and longitude coordinates right? now, where do I get them from? I see google maps has changed, the bookmarks don’t show the coordinates anymore, I’m now installing google earth to see if I’m able to get them, but that was essentially my question, if there was some sort of ‘shortcode’ maker where I could select the region for zoom and icon for marker.

thanks for the reply!

@luispic:

Shortcode plugins are usually entered BY HAND .. there’s no generation of shortcodes ..

there are several internet sites which will get you the latitude and longitude, just google “get lat long” and you’ll get a bunch of search results … furthermore, as you said .. I guess you can get lat/long in google earth !
