@alexanderextima Is your current theme using AJAX to load pages?

@granddadscott

Since the shortcode provides functionality only and leaves the styling up to the theme, there is no way to set the border with the shortcode.

That can definitely be done with CSS, but may likely affect other images as well. You may be better off switching into the ‘Text’ tab on the content editor and adding a wrapping div with an inline style, like this:

<div style="border: 1px solid black;">
[mpress_image_refresh]
</div>

Here is a quick plugin I threw together that will remove the locations meta box and replace it with a geo coordinates meta box: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/521087/stellar-places-customizations.zip

@psynoxis

Thanks for your interest in doing this. I’ve created a ticket for this in my code repository: https://github.com/wpscholar/mpress-custom-feed-excerpts/issues/2

I’ve generated a .pot file and provided it there for you to download. You should be able to generate a translation from this, then I can include the translation in the next release. If you don’t mind, use the URL above for further communication.

Thanks!

There are a few options with regard to the address fields:

1. You can simply not fill out (or generate) the address fields
2. You can hide the address fields in both the admin and front end using CSS.
3. You can disable the ‘Location’ meta box altogether and create a new meta box containing only the fields for GPS coordinates.

I’m not sure which of the above would work best for you. Obviously the first would require no effort, but could be an issue if you have other people who may not know better entering content.

As far as a “Gallery Field”, what do you have in mind for that? Is that just a collection of images? If so, is there a reason that the existing gallery functionality in WordPress wouldn’t suffice? (If you aren’t familiar, you can click the ‘Add Media’ button above the content editor and select ‘Create Gallery’)

Sorry, I just noticed this message. In multisite, the location data is not shared across sites. You would need to either create the necessary data for each site, or find a way to sync it if that is a requirement.

It is entirely possible to add custom meta, but currently that would have to be done via an additional meta box. I assume you want to add that field to the existing meta box?

Are you just wanting help with the additional fields in the admin, or on the front end as well?

Regarding address fields, is your primary concern the display of the address fields in the admin, on the front end, or both?

Received.

Sorry, I don’t. I currently support a dozen plugins personally in my free time, which is pretty slim these days. I also tend to only address issues specifically related to my plugins, but the maintenance page is an unrelated issue. You may want to try the main support forum for that specific issue where you’d find a lot more people willing to help.

I’m still happy to take a look at your styling issue though whenever you get the maintenance page figured out and can send me a link.

@loiruca

Thanks for inquiring! It can be a bit confusing, depending on how you are expecting things to work.

The shortcode will go in the main content area as text. So, just typing out [mpress_image_refresh] in the content area is all you need to do to add the shortcode. If you ever see that shortcode text on the front end of the site, then the plugin needs to be activated.

Once the shortcode is in place, it will (by default) randomly display an image from among any images that are attached to that post (or page). The confusing bit is how WordPress determines what images are actually “attached” to a post. Here are a few rules around how this works:

– If you upload an image directly to the post where you inserted the shortcode, the image is considered “attached” to that post, even if you delete the image from the post (but not from the media library).
– You can upload an image directly to the media library and then insert it into a post and it will then be permanently “attached” to that post. But cannot then be attached to another post.

The safest thing is to either directly upload the images to the post, or explicitly specify the images you want to display from the media library using the ‘attachment’ attribute, like so:

[mpress_image_refresh attachment="4, 10, 184"]

To identify the image (attachment) IDs, just look for item=4 in the URL when viewing a specific image in the media library. The number (4 in this example) is the attachment ID.

@bodylove111

Can you point me to a page where the styling is off? I’d like to see the problem in action, look at what styling conflicts there are and where they might be coming from.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the positive review!

@thelittlegreenman

Yes. I just tested changing the map type in the shortcode only to realize it wasn’t working. So, I just released version 1.0.7 to fix that. If you download the latest version, you should be able to do it like this:

[stellar_places_map height="250px" width="250px" mapTypeId="satellite"]

If you want to be able to see the road names and labels overlaid on the satellite view, you will want to use hybrid instead:

[stellar_places_map height="250px" width="250px" mapTypeId="hybrid"]

@a2adv,

As of version 1.0.6 (released today), I’ve implemented a settings page where you can set your Google Maps API key. Look for it under “Places” -> “Settings” in the admin menu. There is a link in the description for the field where you can go and setup an API key if you don’t have one.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks!
