Easy Google Maps [GMP_SHORTCODE] Shortcode

The Google Maps Easy plugin shortcode, GMP_SHORTCODE, is used to draw maps from a specified shortcode. This function checks if a map ID is provided in the shortcode parameters. If it’s missing or invalid, it returns an error message. If valid, it proceeds to draw the map.

Shortcode: [GMP_SHORTCODE]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible GMP_SHORTCODE shortcode parameters and attributes:

• id – The unique identifier for the specific map

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Display a map using its unique ID

[GMP_SHORTCODE id=1 /]

Advanced examples

Display a map by referencing both ID and additional parameters. The map will first try to load by ID, but if not found, it will try to load by other parameters.

[GMP_SHORTCODE id=1 param1=value1 param2=value2 /]

Display a map by referencing only additional parameters. The map will try to load by these parameters.

[GMP_SHORTCODE param1=value1 param2=value2 /]

Please note that ‘param1’ and ‘param2’ are placeholders for actual parameter names you would use, and ‘value1’ and ‘value2’ are placeholders for the values those parameters would take. Replace these placeholders with the actual parameter names and values you intend to use.
