Get Directions Map

Nejčastější dotazy

Why is this plugin being retired?

• not enough users – there was a premium plugin but very few paid – unfortunately no viable to spend time keeping this up to date with Mapquest changes, PHP changes, WP changes

What does retirement of this plugin mean to me?

• the plugin will continue to work as it does now until something breaks, then you are on your own to fix it. The code is GPL so you can fix it yourself if you are a developer.

Do I need to pay or provide a credit card to use this plugin?

Unlike Google Maps, you do not need to lodge a credit card to get and API key. You still need to getan APIkey and MapQuest does have limits, which you will have to pay for if
you exceed them, but you are unlikely too unless you have a missively popular site, even then the costs are cheaper than Google.

How do I get the Free API key?

Create a free account on MapQuest (https://developer.mapquest.com/)[https://developer.mapquest.com/plan_purchase/steps/business_edition/business_edition_free/register]
Login and go to (Add API Key)[https://developer.mapquest.com/user/118761/apps/add]
you just need a name, don’t worry about Callback URL it is not used bythis plugin

how do I use the shortcode?

to display a map on the page use the short code
[get-directions] with the appropriate parameters

A destination is mandatory and is set as a latitude / longitude pair
e.g. [get-directions latlng="51.36887,-0.408999"]

Optional

A route selection dialogue overlay will be shown, unless you turn it off with
* showroute="false"

Specify the map image height ( default = 500px)
* height="400px"

Specify the map width ( default full width – 100%)
* width="66%" you can use px too e.g. 320px but bear in mind fixed sizes on responsive sites

Specify the initial zoom level (1-16) (default 12)
* zoom="10" :note the map will auto zoom if a route is displayed so this setting is only really relevant when hideroute=’yes‘

Specify the type of map controls
* controls="true" shows multi controls
* controls="false" shows only zoom controls

Specify the language for the directions ( note mapquest only translates the route directions, some text remains in English )
* locale="en_US" shows in Amercican English ( default )
* locale="fr_FR" shows in French
* locale="hu_HU" shows in Hungarian
* locale="es_ES" shows in Spanish
many locale codes are supported, try them out, if it doesn’t work you just get „Sorry e could not calculate directions …“ when you test directions. If you need further info on loacles contact mapquest.

Specify the units used in the directions
* unit="m" shows distances in miles ( default )
* unit="k" shows distances in kilometers ( default )

Examples

Map with directions overlay with icon at latitude 40.74802 longtitude -73.98512, minimal control
* [get-directions latlng="40.748021,-73.98512" controls="false"]
