Render google map in wordpress, based on address custom field
I have a wordpress site with a large number of pages, each page represent a physical location. Now for each page I would like to display a google map based on the address. I know I can do this by installing for instance the Geo Mashup plugin 开发者_运维知识库http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geo-mashup/ but that requires (I believe) that I manually, for every post, create a location based on the address and add a shortcode to the post/page that results in a google map. This is a LOT of work for this site with hundreds of locations.
I would like to be able to
A: Create an "address-custom-field" for each post programmatically.
B: In a page template use that custom field to render a google map.
A is easy, but B?
You may want to consider using the Google Maps API.
The following example may help you getting started. All you would need to do is to change the JavaScript variable yourAddress with the address of the location feature in your page. "If A is easy", that should be quite straight-forward.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<title>Google Maps API Demo</title>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&sensor=false"
type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body onunload="GUnload()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 400px; height: 300px"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var yourAddress = 'London, UK';
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
geocoder.getLocations(yourAddress, function (locations) {
if (locations.Placemark)
{
var north = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.north;
var south = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.south;
var east = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.east;
var west = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.west;
var bounds = new GLatLngBounds(new GLatLng(south, west),
new GLatLng(north, east));
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));
}
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
The above example would render a map like the one below:

The map will not show if the Google Client-side Geocoder cannot retreive the coordinates from the address.
This is now obsolete Google removed services for v2.
Use something like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sensor=SET_TO_TRUE_OR_FALSE">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
</body>
</html>
加载中,请稍侯......
