Geo Mashup [geo_mashup_show_on_map_link] Shortcode
The GeoMashup shortcode is a powerful tool that adds a ‘Show on map’ link to your posts. It uses the ‘show_on_map_link’ function to generate this link. The function takes various parameters such as ‘text’, ‘display’, ‘zoom’, and ‘show_icon’. These allow customization of the link’s display text, visibility, zoom level on the map, and the presence of an icon respectively.

geo-mashup/geo-mashup/shortcodes.phpGeo Mashup [geo_mashup_list_located_posts_by_area] Shortcode
The GeoMashup shortcode is a powerful tool for listing posts by geographical area. It generates a list of posts, grouped by country and state, with links to each post. This shortcode fetches distinct country codes associated with posts, and for each country, it retrieves posts grouped by administrative codes (states). It creates a hierarchical list with country and state headings, followed by the linked post titles. If the ‘include_address’ argument is set to true, the post’s address is also included.
Shortcode: [geo_mashup_list_located_posts_by_area]
Examples and Usage
Basic example – Utilizes the shortcode to list out all posts that have location data associated with them. This is a great way to quickly create a directory of all geolocated posts on your site.
[geo_mashup_list_located_posts_by_area /]Advanced example – This example includes an additional parameter ‘include_address’. When set to ‘true’, it will include the address of each post’s location in the listing. This can be useful when you want to provide more detailed location information to your users.
[geo_mashup_list_located_posts_by_area include_address=true /]Another advanced usage of this shortcode could be to limit the listing to posts from a specific country or state. In the example below, we’re using the ‘country_code’ and ‘admin_code’ (state) parameters to limit the listing to posts located in the state of California, USA (‘US’ and ‘CA’ respectively).

Examples and Usage
Basic example – A straightforward usage of the ‘geo_mashup_tabbed_term_index’ shortcode. This example does not include any additional parameters, thus it will use the default settings defined in the function.
[geo_mashup_tabbed_term_index]Advanced examples
1. In this example, the shortcode is used with a specific map id and taxonomy. The ‘for_map’ parameter is used to specify the map id, and the ‘taxonomy’ parameter is used to specify the taxonomy.
[geo_mashup_tabbed_term_index for_map="gm-map-2" taxonomy="category"]2. This example demonstrates the use of the ‘show_inactive_tab_markers’ and ‘start_tab_term’ parameters. If ‘show_inactive_tab_markers’ is set to true, markers for inactive tabs will be displayed. The ‘start_tab_term’ parameter is used to specify the term that should be active when the page loads.
[geo_mashup_tabbed_term_index show_inactive_tab_markers="true" start_tab_term="5"]3. In this final advanced example, the shortcode is used with the ‘tab_index_group_size’ and ‘disable_tab_auto_select’ parameters. The ‘tab_index_group_size’ parameter is used to specify the number of terms per tab, and the ‘disable_tab_auto_select’ parameter is used to disable automatic selection of the first tab when the page loads.
