Tripit – Missing Maps ?

    On the description for Tripit plugin, it says

    Download your travel details from TripIt and auto-post maps of your flights. Each flight is saved as a Post containing a map, marked with the Status format.

    But my import shows no map, just stuff like this

    1. Flew Ponta Delgada (Azores) (PDL) to London (STN). 1,587 mi on Ryanair in 4h, 00m.

    Am I doing something wrong ?

    Ah, I think I got a bit carried away with the description there. Technically this plugin just downloads the data that you need to be able to draw a map, but then it doesn’t draw one itself. In my case, I use a theme that I’ve modified which will render a map, specifically based on the data that’s downloaded from TripIt.

    This is the file that handles the map for me: https://github.com/beaulebens/Homeroom/blob/master/map-polyline.php

    And here’s an example of what it produces: https://dentedreality.com.au/2016/04/06/flew-dubyyzden/

    Ha

    What would I need to make it work on my pages ? I assume place that PHP page somewhere, do I need to modify my theme ? any help appreciated ??

    Unfortunately yes, you’d need to modify your theme to get this working, and it gets a bit messy loading all the files you need for the Google maps etc. If you’re looking for a copy-paste/drop in solution, this isn’t really going to be it I’m afraid; there’s a bunch of annoying Google API keys and stuff that you need to get set up before this approach works.
