Awesome! Thanks for the quick action, thydzik! I uploaded 1.3.1 to the site listed above, and it worked like a charm.

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 thydzikGoogleMap.php file though.

No luck. I deleted and reinstalled the plugin, and I get the same error. The code in WP is just “thydzikGoogleMap(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,

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

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

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

Let me know how it goes.

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.

Hi Erik

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

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

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/thydzik-google-map/cimac.xml). Did something in the fix for cross-site scripting break this plugin?

Erik,

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

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? :)

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.
