Have you write the plugin yet? If not, could you explain a little more how can I modify the Map Builder code to paste it in Wordpress? I’m impressed with the results.

thanks

I built the map with Map Builder and clicked their “Map Implementation Link”. From there I selected “JavaScript injection” and they gave me some code from which I stripped out all but the necessary JS and some tweaked style.

I then pasted that modified code into a WP post. It was obnoxious, though, because WP inserted <br />s all over the place. To fix that, I removed a lot of the line breaks in the Map Builder code and added a couple HTML and JS comment strings.

I think I also had to tweak the JS a bit.

You can get a good feel for what I did by looking at the source of this page.

What resulted is not valid and was painful to implement. If I were to do this with any frequency, I’d write a plugin that would put things in the head where they should be.

I have been playing with the Map Builder, very neat, but I don’t see how you managed to get it into a post without adding all the javascript in your header.php file for wordpress — or did you? Did you do something sneaky? Would love to add this to the end of my podcast … as a way for people to see where it was I had traveled as covered in the book.

The URL for “In Search of #6″ is in my info — I didn’t want it to trigger as spam. I hate spam.

Hope to hear form you. Thanks!
