WP Geo Development

Well, after fixing the few issues that people reported in the beta, I went ahead and released 3.1.3…

…and it seems loads of you have been having problems. If you’re having problems please post a link below so I can see what’s happening.

In the meantime if you are having problems, I suggest you re-install 3.1.2 until I can figure out what’s going on. I have also flipped the download at WordPress.org back to version 3.1.2.

Sorry for any inconvenience. If any of you out there would like to help with the development of WP Geo or test future release please let me know.

I have also set up a demo site running the latest development version (currently 3.1.3) so please let me know if you spot any issues there.

Please could you download and test WP Geo 3.1.3.beta

A lot of the code has been restructured – the beginning of trying to make the plugin more extendable – so I would appreciate it if you could try it out and post any bugs (not feature requests) below.

Some of the more notable changes include:

• Uses latest version of Google Maps API (including the new controller).
• Added a filter ‘wpeo_point_title’ to override the marker tooltip for posts.
• Added wpgeo_map() function to display custom maps based on a WordPress query.

Oops, sorry another quick release…

Version 3.1.1 seemed to contain a weird bug that was triggered on activating the plugin, and slipped through the net when I was testing locally.

For some reason the filename wp-geo/includes/template.php was causing an error – maybe clashing with something in WordPress, I haven’t figured out exactly what yet.

Anyway, renaming that file seems to have fixed the issue so please download WP Geo 3.1.2…

A minor update to the WP Geo plugin.

• Updated Danish, French and German translations.
• Google Maps locale is set based on WordPress locale.
• Added template tags wpgeo_longitude() and wpgeo_latitude().
