thydzik’s technology blog

I have finally managed to get Wordpress to update the version number. This problem was due to not updating the version number in the PHP file as well as the readme.txt.

Version 1.3 fixes a problem with thydzikGoogleMap not displaying correctly when a Wordpress blog isn’t located in the domain folder.

I have seen a few users, using thydzikGoogleMap to display a single point or no points at all, thydzikGoogleMap isn’t really for this as it is not worth creating an XML file just for the single point. Plus I believe you can now simply embed a Google map with some simple code.

However, if you want full customization; including lines, numbered points, HTML in a point’s detail, then thydzikGoogleMap is exactly for you.

Comments and suggestions very welcome.

Download thydzikGoogleMap v1.3

thydzikGoogleMap v1.1 has been released with major updates:

• cross-domain XML files can be used as the map data, see example below.
• due to Wordpress plugin repository automatically zipping plugins, the main plugin folder is changed. Anyone upgrading from v1.0, requires deletion of old folder.
• Lots of code improvements, was a bug with displaying the default marker style.
• Works with RoboGeo produced XML files.

The below example shows cross-domain support, I am using the XML file found in my second blog http://sonyaandtravis.com/../china2007.xml.
