Phototools: geo2wp

Beskrywing

This plugin is a replacement for my old “GPS MAP Widget” plugin with the following options:

  • In the “media” list view there’s a new column which shows the availability of GEO data
  • When GEOdata isn’t found yet, it checks the imagefile for the EXIF geodata and stores it in the metadata
  • The old metadata used by GPS MAP Widget is recognized and translated in the current system.
  • In the POST/PAGES overview a new column is presented with the featured image. Geodata is presented with an overlay icon.
  • The media/post/page edit screen shows the location map in a metabox when a featured images with geodata is available.
  • A widget “geo2wp map” is available.
  • Two shortcodes are available: EXIF_locationmap and EXIF_location. See below for the usage, which is exactly the same (oh well, minus the api key)as under GPS MAP Widget.
  • GeoRSS can be added to the feed (default: yes)
  • The widget is only show when there’s something to show. This also goes for the shortcode, when there’s no data to show, nothing is shown.
  • geo2wp handles the geodata as described in https://codex.wordpress.org/Geodata and as such should be compatible with other systems using these metadataa fields.
  • Every item in the medialist now has an option to reload the exif geo info.
  • In the media screen you can also bulk reload exif geo info
  • On the media edit screen the message in the widget, when no map can be shown, is clickable an tries to reload the exif geo info.

EXIF_locationmap:

  • width: width of the map image in px. default 300px
  • height: height of the mapimage in px. default 200px;
  • zoom: googlemaps zoomlevel. Default 11
  • Errors: Show error messages when no exif is available or when there’s no featured image. Default is false for the shortcode

Example:
[EXIF_locationmap width=750 height=300 zoom=11 errors=false]

EXIF_location:

  • part: ‘latitude’, ‘longitude’ or ‘both’
  • form: ‘dec’ or ‘dms’ (decimal or Degree minute seconds. Decimal is default);

example:
[EXIF_location part=both]
will return 52.22935055,6.8737411

[EXIF_location part=both form=dms]
will return  52°21'13"N , 6°26'7"N

Changelog

1.0

First release

1.1

Add 3 ways to reload the geo info from exif:

  • the media item row menu
  • the media screen bulk option
  • the widget on the media edit screen when no map is shown.

1.2

Left some code commented out, thus the bulk option wasn’t there..

1.3

  • Removed the “enable shortcodes in widgets”. It moved to the phototools plugin on which the other plugins are going to depend.
  • added rel=””noopenener noreferrer” to target=_blank external links
  • Rather stupid mistake which resulted in api calls without api key.. Sorry!

1.4

Fixed some compatability issues.
