Embedding a guestmap? How should I embed php apps?

  • There’s a nice guestmap here; uses php and mysql. Works fine standalone:
    https://www.thompsonbd.com/guestmap.php
    Tried various methods, from using the php exec plugin, to using an iframe (ugly way, IE doesn’t work that way either).
    Not really sure I “get” this whole embedding thing – tried playing with the “plugins used” template page from the vslider theme, but there’s clearly some kind of “link” I’m missing.
    Don’t suppose anyone with the skills wants to make a plugin of this? I’m sure it’d be useful for quite a few people.!

    Thanks

  • look for the RunPHP plugin – worked like a charm for me.
    You just have to remember to use the non-wysiwyg editor when writing or editing the page where you include the php file.

    Sorry, runphp was the other one I tried, too!
    And I used non-wysiwyg too. I think it’s a little more complex than just pasting code!

    did you follow the installation instructions completely? it’s not just a “drag and drop” plugin.

    i’ve used it on several sites and not had a problem with it… what version of WP are you using?

    I think the problem is happening in the fact that there are script calls in head and there’s an onload in the body – for example:

    <script src="https://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=A" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="guestmap/pdmarker.js"
    <? include('guestmap/process.php'); ?>

    <title>guestMap 2.5</title>
    </head>

    <body onload="onLoad()">

    etc

    (sorry about formatting – I tried putting the code tag between backticks, but it doesn’t seem to work)

    backticks aren’t the same as single quotes – just FYI for the future… backticks are the key to the left of the number 1 on the top line of your keyboard… ??

    is your problem resolved now?

    Thanks – I WAS putting a backtick!

    see? here is some code between backticks

    Anyway, if anyone else was looking for a guestmap, someone helped me out and the result can be downloaded here:

    Not that you don’t drop the code into a wordpress page, rather just a seperate file in the wordpress dir.

    If someone has a more in depth explanation how to get this on a wordpress page, then don’t hesitate to tell me. I am lost.

    Well, it’s been 8 months. That developer has kind of given up on it and I’m looking for a decent Google Maps based guestmap, even if it can’t be embedded in WordPress.
    I don’t want to use an externally hosted on because they either disappear, or suddenly start flooding you with adverts!
