SimpleMap Support Forum coming soon

Forum ScreenshotThe number of comments on the SimpleMap page has now surpassed 150. I am so grateful for all of the feedback I have gotten from users! The downside of this is that the issues/bugs users have reported are sometimes getting lost in the sea of comments. Even though I’m keeping track with my own issue tracker, it’s hard to keep up and make sure I respond to everyone and maintain the level of support I want to provide.

In light of this, I am working on a support forum for SimpleMap. I’m using the awesome Simple:Press forum plugin for it. I’m extremely impressed with Simple:Press so far—I’ve seen my husband set up other forums in the past, and this install was so much easier than any of those. The level of control and customization blows me away, especially for a completely free plugin!

That little donation module in the top-right corner of the Simple:Press site is a pretty great idea. I might be adding something similar soon… we’ll see.


A fantastic script for making customized Google Map markers

I stumbled across this script after an email from a SimpleMap user, who wanted some help figuring out where in my code he could program his own map markers. The code he sent back led me to this tool—albeit through a long period of site-to-site surfing—that I will use in SimpleMap 1.2 to allow for custom map markers. I wanted to give everyone a sneak peek, and also share this tool with anyone looking for this kind of functionality in their own project.

Check out the demo!

Reference: MapIconMaker v1.1 Reference
Source: mapiconmaker.js

You can look forward to some truly great marker customization in SimpleMap 1.2!
