\n","faq":"\n

\nWho is this plugin for?\n\n

For anyone who needs a map on their site in 5 seconds.

\nGoogle Map shows the wrong location\n\n

Write the address differently, or more precisely. Make sure you enter the street, town and country name. If necessary enter lat/lng coordinates instead of the address. Use the numeric notation, eg: “40.7127, 74.0059”

\nHow to generate the API key\n\n

We understand that creating a Google Maps API key is frustrating but it takes less than a minute and it’s something Google requires.
\nFollow wizard step #1 – login with any Gmail account, click next/confirm a few times with the default settings & copy the Google Maps API key you see on the screen; it’s the key you need. Then use wizard step #2, select the same “My Project” project from the list and that’s it. Save the key in Maps Widget for Google Maps settings.
\nIf you want to protect your API key by using the “Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (web sites)” option in Google Console make sure to add your domain in these two formats: *.mydomain.com/* and mydomain.com/* and wait a few minutes until Google makes the necessary changes.
\nIf that didn’t help read our detailed guide on how to create a Google Maps API key.

\nGoogle map thumbnail works but lightbox won’t open on click\n\n

You probably have Fancybox JS and CSS files included twice; once by the theme and second time by Maps Widget for Google Maps plugin. Remove one instance of files. If that’s not the case then you have a fatal JS error that’s preventing execution of other JS code. Hit F12 in Firefox or Chrome and have a look at the debug console. If there are any red lines – it’s a fatal error.

\nThe Google map is not working!!! Arrrrrrrrr\n\n

Open a new thread in the support forums but please bear in mind that support is community based and we do this in our spare time.

\nHow do I get Maps Widget for Google Maps Pro?\n\n

Simply visit gmapswidget.com and purchase the GMW PRO. Yearly and lifetime licenses are available.

\nI’ve installed the plugin, now what?\n\n

In WordPress admin open Appearance – Widgets and add a Maps Widget for Google Maps to a sidebar. And make sure you follow instructions on how to generate a Google Maps API key. Without it maps won’t work.

\nHow do I put a Google map on my page/post?\n\n

In order to show your Google map in your page or post, simply copy the shortcode supplied and paste it into your page or post. This feature is available only in GMW PRO.

\nI want to use Google Maps but don’t have WordPress\n\n

Credits

An Enthropia Labs project.

Created by David Cramer (mail, website).

Maintained by Robert McGhee (mail, website).

Core concept inspired by RSS Stream.

\n","installation":"

Upload the plugin into /wp-content/plugins/. You should end up with /wp-content/plugins/lifestream/.

Activate the plugin under the “Plugins” menu.

Visit “Lifestream” -> “Settings” to configure the basic options, and add feeds.

There are severals methods in which you can use Lifestream in a WordPress page.

The easiest way is to use the normal context handler (works in pages and posts):

[lifestream]\n

Another method requires a custom WordPress page, or the use of a template, and is a simple function call:

<?php lifestream(); ?>\n

You may also specify several parameters in the lifestream method (useful for sidebar display). These should be in the standard key=>value format for PHP calls.

(int) offset: defaults to 0
(int) limit: defaults to ’50’
(string) date_interval: defaults to ‘1 month’
(boolean) break_events: defaults to false – forces grouped events to be single
(array) user_ids: defaults to all users — specify the ids of users to show
(array) feed_types: defaults to all feeds — specify the feed keys (e.g. twitter) to show
(array) feed_ids: defaults to all feeds — specify the ids of feeds to show, also overrides feed_types setting

For example:

[lifestream limit=\"10\"]\n

For more advanced uses, you may directly use get_events() which will return an array of Event instances. This is the same syntax as the lifestream() method.

Example:

<ul>\n<?php\n$options = array('limit' => 50);\n$events = $lifestream->get_events($options);\n\nforeach ($events as $event)\n{\n    echo '<li>'.$event->render($options).'</li>';\n}\n?>\n</ul>\n

Another popular example, would to be show your current Twitter, or Facebook status somewhere in your templates:

$events = $lifestream->get_events(array('feed_types'=>array('twitter'), 'number_of_results'=>1, 'break_groups'=>true);\n$event = $events[0];\n\n// to render it with links\necho $event->feed->render_item($event, $event->data);\n\n// or render just the text\necho $event->data['title'];\n

Or, use our handy shortcuts:

<?php lifestream_twitter_status(); ?>\n

And

<?php lifestream_facebook_status(); ?>\n

The plugin displays activity in a Gowalla Spot in a WordPress Post or Page. It uses the Gowalla API and requires the unique Spot ID saved in a custom field in WordPress.

Example: http://www.surdegskartan.se/mellbybagaren/

The last five activities are displayed (API limit).

\n","installation":"

Upload the folder gowalla-spotter to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Add a new custom field named “Gowalla”
Put a Spot ID in the Gowalla field (ie: XXXXX from Gowalla-URI: http://gowalla.com/spots/XXXXX)
Add <?php if (function_exists('gowalla_spotter')) gowalla_spotter(); ?> inside the loop in a/the page template where you want the list to be displayed
Activate the plugin
Thats it!

\n","faq":"

How do I uninstall the plugin?

Inactivate the plugin and remove the php-line added in the template. If you want you can also remove the Custom Field.

How come the feed isnt showing?

You might have forgotten to add the line of php <?php if (function_exists('gowalla_spotter')) gowalla_spotter(); ?> or there is an error in it. Also check that you have a working Spot ID from Gowalla.

I have a question or suggestion!

Email me at per@strm.se.
