Also for others that maybe encounter similar issues:
I found out that using arrays also works great and I can select only posts that belong to a certain number of categories and return only those that satisfy all the categories queried. I do not need to suppress filters with the array.

An example is:

query_posts(array('category__and'=>array(2,6),'showposts'=>2,'orderby'=>title,'order'=>DESC));

It will take any parameter as if it was outside the array using the above syntax.

Yes, that is right, Geo Mashup is not the cause, that was clear from the moment I had one installation working and the other not working. I was just asking a little extra help from you to head towards the right direction, and you did help. Thanks a lot!

PS: suppress_filters did the trick!! Thanks a lot again!

Ah crappola! Thanks anyway!

BUMP… this is an easy one for the dev to answer.. Alex can you please answer when you get a chance? Thanks!

Oh that’s great to be able to control that! When I have multiple maps on the same page that is a great thing to have! Thanks!

Yes that output the SQL, and I can spot some random query that is really uncalled for!!

This is the working one

string(302) " SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private')AND wp_postmeta.meta_value = 'LI' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10"

And this is the not working one

string(380) " SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_postmeta.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type = 'post' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish')AND wp_postmeta.meta_value = 'LI' AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = 'budget' ORDER BY (wp_postmeta.meta_value+0) DESC LIMIT 0, 10"

You can tell there are some weird calls to meta key “budget”, which is one of the keys, but certainly not called in the query. I have no idea why this is the case. Could any other custom query in the template be injecting those in the custom query? Thanks for the SQL query by the way! It is a great tool for debugging!

Thanks. Ok this is weird. I tested it on another WP installation and the query returns results. The usual WP installation still does not return results.

I inserted the query:

<?php query_posts( 'meta_value=LI' );
var_dump( $wp_query->last_request );?>
Results:<ol>
<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php echo GeoMashup::location_info('fields=lat,lng'); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

And with the other installation I got

NULL Results:

1. Post Title43.2549171,12.1698694
So it works right?

The usual installation (the one not working) just outputs

NULL Results:

Got no idea why it is NULL in both cases, but in one case it works. May it be a plugin creating the issue?? One is wp 2.9 (the one not working) the other one is 3.0.4 and both have the same exact plugins installed.

Thanks. I am in for learning. If I sent you the SQL output (where do I get it??) would you point me towards some direction so I could find a way myself?

THANKS!! This is so very kind of you! Drooling for 1.4 now!

Yes, it would be really nice to be able to customize different info windows depending on the map type (global, contextual, single). I need to have two separate kind of maps on the same page and the content of info windows should be different in each. I vote for this feature request!
Cheers

I found a partial solution. I modified the call of the wp favorite posts plugin link so it opens the link within the iframe, simply reloading the map. However, I cannot stop the gif from showing. It seems that a script continues running unstoppably and I cannot let it know it should stop executing. However, this seems more of a question for the wp favorite plugin dev, so I will mark this as resolved.

For those with similar issues: you need to add a target=”name” to the link. the word “name” is the name of the iframe specified in the iframe attributes. In this case it is called gm-map-2, so the iframe attribute to look for is name=”gm-map-2″, and your link will have target=”gm-map-2″

This works for all iframes, not only with these two plugins.

I am sorry, but I spent hours trying to make it work, I then installed geo mashup. If I ever get to try this again I will let you know for sure if I got problems, with details this time. It is just that out of frustration and after seeing the original poster having my same outcome, I assumed it was just a badly coded plugin. My bad.

Hi,
As for the first question: I just tried again with the following query inserted within the loop and outside the loop (tried both ways)

<?php query_posts( 'meta_value=LI' ); ?>
Results:<ol>
<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php echo GeoMashup::location_info('fields=lat,lng'); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

The output was nothing as before. I do not get why, as I do query for that meta value in other parts of the site and do get results, even as of now. I use the custom query you saw above, though.

As for the second question: That makes sense. So what type of query can I use with contextual maps? Sorry if these questions may seem redundant and banal, I am quite a rookie at all this.
Thanks

Hi, thanks, just sent it.

Also, would you have a clue of why nothing is returned with the query? Even adding coordinates?

Are you saying the posts appear when you loop through them, but don’t appear on a contextual map?

Yes. The same query outputs, say, a list of posts titles, or whatever is set to appear, with the query I gave you. If I insert the geo mashup code it returns a series of empty maps, one per each post that was supposed to be on the map.
