MapPress Maps for WordPress [mashup] Shortcode

The ‘mashup’ shortcode in the MapPress Google Maps for WordPress plugin is used to display a mashup of multiple maps. This shortcode checks if the user is an admin or if the page is a feed. If not, it scrubs the attributes and generates a mashup map.

Shortcode: [mashup]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – The following shortcode calls up the ‘mashup’ function with no additional parameters. This will return a mashup based on the default settings.

[mashup /]

Advanced examples

In this example, we’re adding a couple of parameters to the shortcode. The ‘id’ parameter specifies the ID of the mashup we want to display, while the ‘title’ parameter defines the title of the mashup.

[mashup id="1" title="My First Mashup" /]

Here’s another advanced example. We’re still using the ‘id’ and ‘title’ parameters, but we’re also adding a ‘width’ parameter to specify the width of the mashup, and a ‘height’ parameter to specify the height.

[mashup id="2" title="My Second Mashup" width="500" height="300" /]

Remember that the ‘mashup’ shortcode is flexible, and you can add as many parameters as you need to create the perfect map for your WordPress site.

PHP Function Code

In case you have difficulties debugging what causing issues with [mashup] shortcode, check below the related PHP functions code.

Shortcode line:

add_shortcode('mashup', array(__CLASS__, 'shortcode_mashup'));

Shortcode PHP function:

function shortcode_mashup($atts='') {
		if (self::is_admin() || is_feed())
			return;

		$atts = self::scrub_atts($atts);
		return self::get_mashup($atts);
