   Hi. thanks for good plugin.
   I’m really happy with tGoogleMap. 🙂

   I have one suggestion.
   the scirpts included in “tGoogleMapHeader()” makes slow down my blog.

   I think, It because of my selft-hosting server didn’t get rapid respond from google.

   Can you remove this header scipt when there are no tGoogleMap tag in the contents?

   When I tested with no add_action(‘wp_head’, …) and put header script just before $temp3 in tFindGoogleMap(). It looks fine, except multiple tGoogleMap tag in $contents.

   Hi suapapa

   Thanks for the feedback.

   It would make sense to not include the header if no maps are to be displayed; however, I am not sure how feasible it is to remove the header script. I believe this is due to the header always running first, before the posts, so you could never actually determine if the post contents contains a map first.

   Adding the header into the post might be an option, however, as you mentioned the header will be repeated for multiple maps. Perhaps, there is a way to determine if the header is already displayed in a post. I will look into it.

   Thanks,

   Travis

   t,

   Great plugin! Thanks.

   I did a little hack of the code to set the initial zoom level of the map. I just added the zoom level number on this line:

   map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), 10);

   However, I wanted to use multiple maps in my blog and some of them would require a different zoom level. Do you know of any quick fixes? Perhaps, setting the zoom level with a parameter in the xml file?

   Would love to be able to set the initial zoom for each map.

   Thanks, again.

   Hi Newcomb

   Thanks for the feedback.

   Generally, I found that zooming so that all the points were visible was okay. A zoom feature would be nice, and perhaps I shall add it as a parameter.

   Okay…. if you have sort of way to set a variable initial zoom level, it would make it perfect for what I need it to do.

   Do you know of any other plugins out there that would do that?

   Thanks, again.

   Newcomb,

   I don’t know of any other plugins that use XML data, there maybe others that don’t use XML data and have zoom.

   I like this plugin quite a bit, but have a question – is there any way to specify a zoom level and a map type in the XML file? I’d like to have it zoom out a bit by default and show the hybrid view (Satellite + map) on one of my maps. The default zoom, at this location, is close enough in that it doesn’t show any of the surrounding roads, and the map view puts the point inside a big green blob (county park property), whereas on the satellite/hybrid view, it’s obvious that the icon is directly on top of the building.

   If this isn’t possible, might I request it for 1.4? 🙂

   Erik,

   I will keep that in mind for the next upgrade.
   Which I will work on soon.

   I just upgraded from WordPress 2.6.3 to 2.6.5, and now I get an error when this plugin is used:

   “Request resulted in error. Check XML file is retrievable.”

   The XML file in question has not changed and is accessible directly from the URL specified in the output code (in my case, http://www.kungfu-silat.com/wp-content/plugins/t-google-map/cimac.xml). Did something in the fix for cross-site scripting break this plugin?

    Hi Erik

    I am really not sure of the problem,
    I have upgraded my site to 2.6.5 and all my tGoogleMap examples are still okay, including my cross-site examples.

    I have also tried you xml file and it worked okay.

    You can see the problem at http://www.harriswholehealth.com/about/location (I temporarily removed the map from my kungfu-silat.com site). Similarly, the hwh.xml file is present and works, but the plugin gives an error for it. The only change made since it was working is that I updated all of my sites to 2.6.5 today.

    Erik,

    From what I have divulged, it looks like your cross-site xml parser is not working.

    Download tGoogleMap again and overwrite the xml_proxy.php file in the plugin directory.

    Alternatively, as your xml file is in the plugin directory, when calling tGoogleMap, you can refer to the file only ie tGoogleMap(hwh.xml).

    Let me know how it goes.

    No luck. I deleted and reinstalled the plugin, and I get the same error. The code in WP is just “tGoogleMap(hwh.xml). I’m not explicitly entering the path. The plugin changes it to the full path in the output web page’s code.

    Erik,

    I think I have found the problem, when using HTML GET, colons are not allowed in the URL.

    Download an update from here, only need to update the tGoogleMap.php file though.

    Awesome! Thank you, I’ve reinstalled it on my site, now that I can make it show more than a plain green field. 🙂
