WP Cloudmade Maps Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
With WP Cloudmade Maps you are able to add static and interactive maps to your website using Cloudmades designable OpenStreetMaps-Data.
This way you can add maps that fits your webdesign. Choose from over 50.000 ready-to-use map styles or create your own with the CloudMade Style Editor.
The Plugin comes with
- a widget to show your last geotagged posts with static maps,
- a shortcode for static maps
- two shortcodes for interactive maps
and countless attributes, to fit the maps your ideas.
All shortcodes are accessible via an user-friendly tinymce button and a lightweight configuration interface for editors.
As Administrator you’re able to set everything as defaults, so your editor just have to ‘click & drop’ a new map inside a post, page or a custom_post_type at all.

Arbitrary section
All shortcodes and its attributes are described and documented inside the WordPress “help”-tab on the upper right corner of each settings page. Have a look over there if you want to use the shortcodes in your theme files.
If you are having a feature request or bug-reports for this plugin, open an issue on github.com.
If there is nothing from you, I’ll go on doing one of the following:
roadmap
- update the help-section inside the help-tab for the enclosing variant of [cmm_active_single] and for [cmm_active_group]
- upgrading to CloudMades new “leaflet” library, when it supports the cloudmade style-ID for different map styles
- give the ability to define horizontal- and vertical-anchor for larger Marker Icons
- add an option to decide, whether to output xhtml or html markup
- add geo:RSS markup to feeds
- add an error message for non-existing default latitude and longitude in general settings
- add the ability to show the active maps with a caption of the address
- add a “show on map link”, to jump directly to a specific point
- upload an “out of range” tile image
- upload an own loading image
- enable / disable Marker clustering for active-group-maps
- upload own cluster images
- add routing between two points, your posts position and your site-visitors position for example
- remove PHP notices and warnings from the widget code
- setup a demo page with example maps
- GUI bugfix: pre-selected checkboxes could’t be de-selected by inserting via GUI
