thydzikGoogleMap v1.3.1 has been released, with 2 improvements.
- Fixed a problem with cross domain xml files. As reported by Erik on thydzikGoogleMap support forum.
- Added improved output for when directly calling thydzikGoogleMap.php
Before Google bots would have picked it up as
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_option() in /home ...
Now Google will see:
thydzik.com are proudly using the WordPress plugin thydzikGoogleMap to display inline Google maps on their blog.
Where thydzik.com is the WordPress user’s domain including link.
Finally, a small note about upgrading thydzikGoogleMap. WordPress has the option of automatically upgrading, which is very handy; unfortunately this overwrites any XML files you may have been storing in the plugin directory. So it is a better idea to keep all your XML maps in a separate location.

I assume this is a “known issue,” but thydzikGoogleMap doesn’t appear to work with WordPress 2.7. It was the one plugin I didn’t test on my dev site before upgrading (too lazy to get another API key for the dev domain). Oops. :)
As you can see here, the plugin call appears verbatim, instead of being replaced with a map.
Hi Erik,
I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 last night, with no detrimental effects.
Let me have a look at the problem.
Erik,
I have updated it to v1.3.2, I think this should fix your problem.

Awesome, thanks again for the very quick response. Incidentally, I “fixed” it with 1.3.1 when I decided to make it usable with automatic upgrades. I put the hwh.xml file one directory up and used “thydzikGoogleMap(../hwh.xml)” – even without upgrading to 1.3.2, that caused the map to display.
