  • WordPress Geo Mashup Release 1.2.8

    Time for another maintenance release of Geo Mashup: Change Log Upgrading

  • Islands of LA

    This art project based on the concept of traffic islands as public space uses maps as one of many perspectives on the subject. Fairly standard Geo Mashup customizations are used in creative ways to produce engaging interactions. For a project with a limited budget, you may find it difficult to stop browsing, even if you’re…

  • WordPress Geo Mashup Release 1.2.7

    I’ve made a maintenance release of Geo Mashup that should resolve a few minor issues. Happy upgrading. Issue 228 – Inline location (geo_mashup_save_location) not working Issue 219 – locate_template() undefined in WordPress 2.6 Adjusted sub-cat titles in the tabbed index control to show only when they have located children

  • No Impact Project Event Map

    This is a simple presentation of events on a map, with a fun spotlight effect for highlighting a particular event. Geo Mashup needed some significant work to associate a date with a post location – a feature that will now be included in the next release. The No Impact Project promotes a new book and…

  • Putting Flickr in Ordr

    I’ve written a small web application for viewing Flickr photos in a specified order: Ordr. The main motivation is to provide a way to view Group pool photos in order by date taken. On my recent hike in Wyoming there were many good photographers taking pictures, all of them Flickr users. A Flickr group is…

Each member can list all the countries they are active in around the world. The former site had no map interface to this extensive data. The focus on country data lead me to choose the Google Visualization API…

  • WordPress Geo Mashup Releases 1.2.6 and 1.3alpha1

    Release 1.2.6 is a collection of small fixes issues including some leftover strange category line behavior, the disappearance of tabs on the option page in WordPress 2.8, some wrong icons in the visible post list (issue 226), and future post info windows (issue 213). Release 1.3alpha1 is a preview of some 1.3 features – see…

  • WordPress Geo Mashup Release 1.2.5

    Yesterday a bug in the Google maps API caused Geo Mashup global maps to be spattered with unwanted category lines (Issue 208). This release fixes that, and a couple of minor problems with the tabbed category index and list posts by area controls. I have a solution now for protecting your custom files from automatic…

  • Network of Ensemble Theatres

    Teamed up with Vernal Creative again, we put Geo Mashup to work mapping and listing the theaters that belong to this organization. The presentation is simple and effective, but it also exemplifies the way Geo Mashup makes WordPress into a GeoCMS. The map is really a map of WordPress pages, but in this context a…

  • WordPress Geo Mashup Release 1.2.4

    Fixes some problems saving locations (Issue 194) and a rare “duplicate entry” WordPress database error. Upgrade as usual.
