GeoPress uses Mapstraction, which has built-in support for adding KML and GeoRSS files. So the mapstraction.js library is already being loaded.

So this would be easy in straight javascript. See the demo here:
https://mapstraction.com/demo-georss.php

As for in GeoPress as template tags, what do you think about the following:

adding to the geopress_map and geopress_post_map functions an optional parameter that is “url” for the overlay. So to get the “blank map” with overlay:
<?php echo geopress_map(400, 200, 0 true, false, -1, “https://mapufacture.com/maps/1924.kml&#8221;) ?>

By changing the third parameter (number of locations) from 0 to -1 you can even overlay your blog’s posts in the map.

I can also modify the INSERT_MAP template function to include a URL along with the post location (if there is one)

INSERT_MAP(200,200,”https://mapufacture.com/maps/1924.kml&#8221;)

Sound ok?

There is a KML file in GeoPress: wp-kml.php

However, there is currently a problem with it where it doesn’t always show all posts. I’m talking with the contributor of the KML modification on how to fix it. Should be in soon.

Thanks, fixed!

Did you fix your problem? This is usually caused by either a Javascript or styling error from a conflict from another plugin or theme. Or the geocoding of the location didn’t work correctly, so try a new address or placing the marker manually.

The GeoPress Map library, Mapstraction, supports OpenStreetMap. It just needs to be exposed in the GeoPress UI. I’ll add this.

Interesting – thanks for the submission. It appears you’ve essentially added lines to the map in order. I like that feature and wonder if it can be more generic to use the geopress_map function with an option.

I think there may be a missing bit in the middle – around the line with “guid”?

harald.walker, GeoPress does support WordPress 2.5. I just need to update the documentation to reflect that.

Hi Steckle – not sure what the problem could be in IE. Let me get to a windows machine and try it out.

Right now, the map just doesn’t display, or is there any kind of error message in IE?

Please email me directly with any issues with GeoPress – please include a URL to your blog and the GeoPress version you’re using.

Sorry there are so many problems!

Sorry I missed your post earlier.

Mapufacture (https://mapufacture.com) is a geospatial aggregator that has an index of GeoRSS feeds and also we output all of our data as GeoRSS. GeoPress also automatically pings Mapufacture, so I should go and pull out a list of GeoPress specific users.

I’m working on one as part of the GeoRSS team (https://georss.org) for adding location input to posts, and map display. I’ll post here when something is ready.
