MARKERS (THE CORE OF GEO-BLOGGING):

Markers seen within index.php (the homepage) and single.php (single posts) can be set within the post itself, either by a series of custom fields, or by using the WPMU Premium Fields, which basically provides you with a slightly easier way to manage custom fields… The same applies to the coordinates you want to set for the center of the page, which is necessary in order to have more space for the overlay that stems from the marker and contains the posts content…

Simply type your address into the Geo-Locator and then drag the marker to the exact location required and copy and paste the necessary coordinates.

——————————————————————————————————————————

WARNING REGARDING POSTS DISPLAYED ON HOMEPAGE

By default, this theme will only display one post on the homepage and cannot be controlled via the usual Wordpress Settings. Instead, it is controlled from the WPMU gMaps Options Page, found at Appearence > WPMU gMaps. The number of posts that are displayed on the homepage can be controlled by giving the Number of Markers on Homepage field a number between 1 and 5. Only one to five posts can be supported due to the nature of the necessary code needed to by-pass the standard geoRSS feed and create custom queries for each post.

It is very important to note that if you select to display 3 posts, and only have 1 post available, the theme will not function normally. You must have the exact number or higher number of posts available than the number of markers you pick to display on the homepage.

——————————————————————————————————————————

HOMEPAGE:

The “more options” text in the top left corner of the screen opens a sliding panel from the top of the screen that contains three sidebars. Due to the nature of the design, which utilises large fonts and lots of padding, we strongly recommend that you only use one widget per sidebar, and by default, we have included three widgets, one of which lists the most popular posts from within your site, and the other that provides network statistics. By adding a new widget into the sidebar, the ones we designed will automatically be removed.

By default, every new page you create will be added to the main navigation bar, and again, due to the nature of the design, it is recommended that you keep page titles short - and do not forget that you can exclude certain pages from the navigation simply by adding the ID to the Categories to Exclude field within the WPMU gMaps Options Page. Adding commas between numbers (without spaces) allows you to remove multiple pages.

Please note that the footer can also be easily updated via the Preferred Footer Text field in the WPMU gMaps Options Page.

By default, the copyright date will display a range from between 2009 to the present year, but the starting date can be altered by simply editing the Start Date of Copyright field from the WPMU gMaps Options Page.

——————————————————————————————————————————

TABBED INFO WINDOWS ON SINGLE POSTS

The Info Windows (overlays linked to markers containing HTML) that are displayed from within single.php (single posts) can posses multiple tabs that are controlled from within the WPMU Premium Fields section of the post information.

By default, the Info Windows displays the content in the first tab and the comments in the second tab, but to replace or add new tabs, simply give Tab 2 Name and Tab 3 Name a short (due to the very limited space) name, such as INFO, PHOTOS, MORE, etc, and then provide a title and the contents and the additional tabs with the additional content will automatically appear within single.php (single posts).

——————————————————————————————————————————

PAGES:

By default, every page (page.php) uses the same map (with coordinates that are controlled via the themes options, and is also set to display a geoRSS compatible feed of your most recent posts) as the background, where you drag and drop a window with tabs that floats above the map and can be moved around, re-sized, minimized or closed by the visitor, which will then be saved the next time they visit via integrated cookies.

  • The first tab from this window displays the content of the page
  • The second tab from this window displays the comments for the page
  • The third tab from this window displays another sidebar specifically found only within this tab

It is possible to override the deafult settings for the Map Type of each and every page by adding a custom field with the name “ptype” and a value of the map type you would like to use (G_SATELLITE_MAP or G_NORMAL_MAP or G_HYBRID_MAP).

It is even possible to have each and every page display a different geoRSS feed as the background, which could then be relevant to the content of the page by adding a custom field with the name “geo” and a value with the geoRSS compatible feed that you want to display.

——————————————————————————————————————————

ARCHIVES:

Please note that the standard Wordpress Archives do not work with this theme – meaning you should not use the Category widget within the sliding header sidebar. If you want to display a category page, you will need to use the Archives page template supplied with this theme…

  • To create an archive page – create new page – pick-out the archives page template
  • Add a custom field with the name “acat” and give it the value of the category you want to display
  • Add a custom field with the name “amaps” and give it a value of 1 to 5 to say how many posts you want display
  • Add a custom field with the name “azoom” and give it a value of 1 to 17 to control the level of zoom
  • Add a custom field with the name “along” and give it a coordinate to control where the map should be centralized
  • Add a custom field with the name “alat” and give it a coordinate to control where the map should be centralized
  • Add the name “atype” and give it a map type (G_SATELLITE_MAP or G_NORMAL_MAP or G_HYBRID_MAP)
