Description
This plugin can be used to list locations. It adds a custom post type for locations, which can be manipulated via the admin panel. The locations can be displayed on a map and in a table. In addition, a search field can be added that allows users to search for relevant locations.
The functionality is added to a page or post via shortcodes:
- [smooth-location-map]
- [smooth-location-search]
- [smooth-location-table]
The settings can be configured by passing attributes to the shortcodes, like so:
[smooth-location-map width=”500px” height=”300px” …more attributes]
None of the attributes are required. The following attributes are available:
- width: defaults to “500px”
- height: defaults to “300px”
- center: defaults to “37.752530,-122.447777”
- geolocation: defaults to “false”
- maptype: defaults to “HYBRID”
- zoom: defaults to 7
- icon_url: url for different icon image
- shadow_url: url for shadow of different icon image
The same functionality is available via do_action() calls with the same name as the shortcode.
In addition, the following filters are available to modify the HTML output, if necessary:
- smooth_location_map_filter
- smooth_location_search_filter
- smooth_location_table_filter

smooth-locationsdirectory to/wp-content/plugins/ - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
