Thank you for all your feedback about the bugs in 3.1.3

They should now be fixed and in addition 3.1.4 contains the follow fixes, changes and enhancements.

Improvements for users:

• Now uses new Google 3D map control.
• Adding text colour style to tooltip text in case default text colour is white.
• Prevent map from aligning marker centre on zoom. Added a link to centre manually instead.
• Added option to save post map centre point.
• Added wpgeo_map() and get_wpgeo_map() functions to display custom maps based on a WordPress query.
• Language files updated.

…and if you’re a developer:

• Moved a lot of JavaScript for the post edit page to external files.
• Code formatting clean-up, added code comments, files restructured.
• Added WPGeo_Marker class in preparation for better marker management.
• Added wpgeo_init action hook.
• Added wpgeo_the_content_map filter.
• Added wpgeo_edit_post_map_fields filter.
• Added wpgeo_point_title filter.
• Added wpgeo_show_post_map filter.

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().

This release adds support for the Belorussian language thanks to Ilyuha.

It also includes a WordPress hook ‘wpgeomapjs_preoverlays’ which can be used to add extra javascript to a map via a plugin or your theme’s functions.php file. This hook enables you to add additional overlays to the map such as custom tiles – tutorial coming soon…
