Hi Mike and all,
I think I've had a good idea, and that is to
use my feed to create posts in wordpress, then the info will come from
my own domain, and it might prove easier, to achieve my end goal.
I am using a plugin called geomashup, that lets me create a big map of
all my posts. So I would like to set this timer code to work on that.
There is a custom.js file where i can add extra google maps api
script, please find here.. http://bit.ly/73vcSW
and a guy called Dylan has kindly answered my post on geomashup google
group here
http://groups.google.com/group/wordpress-geo-mashup-plugin/browse_thread/thread/8465184c87109577
he advises this
"The place for your custom javascript is described here for Geo Mashup
1.2.10:
http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/wiki/Documentation#Cust...
The piece of data you'll need that is not documented is the initial
post data for the map, which is passed to the custom javascript in
properties.post_data. "
So i was wondering and would be soooo pleased if anyone knows, how I
can combine this info with the timer script,
var counter=0;
function LoopMap() {
if (++counter > gmarkers.length) counter = 0;
GEvent.trigger(gmarkers[counter],"click");
setTimeout("LoopMap()",10000);
}
I am sure this feature would be appreciated by many and fingers
crossed its not too complicated.
Many thanks and best wishes,
tom
