Include guestmap in a page

I’d make a Page Template that has the code of the guestmap file (NOT the whole file!) and then just create a Page using that template – no content needed.

Just to make sure I’ve got it:

Take the code from the guestmap.php, copy it over to page.php, include template name on the top and that’s it? And then use that template to create a page.

Yep. That’s what I’d do. Basically I’d replace The Loop in the new template with the guestmap code. The rest is correct. It should work…

Back again…

The error I get now is:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php/’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/1/k/kenta/wp-content/themes/fgala-10/guestmap.php on line 8

The file wp-blog-header.php is in the root of my homepage. Shouldn’t the path be ../wp-blog-header.php then, to direct it to the root?

Is the newly created template file in the theme directory?

Edit. Oops, yes, I can see it is. But then where that link to the wp-blog-header comes from? there shouldn’t be in a Page Template…

Yes, the template file is in the theme directory, I assume it has to be there to work as an template? Tried to move it to the root, but then it wont show up when I try to create a new page.

I edited my post above.
Can you paste the new Page template’s code to https://paste.uni.cc/ and post back the url?

The link comes from the file guestmap.php… I guess I have copied too much from that file into the page template.

Aha, if I just make a template, without content, and just link it to the file guestmap.php?

But how do I link it? According to the instructions, the file guestmap.php must be in the root.

It is difficult to figure out all the details if we don’t know what the “guestmap” thing is or what the instructions are etc.
(and I’ve said above: don’t copy the whole file, just the code for the map)

Ok, sorry about that. Here is the instructions, I’ ve done 1 and 2:

1. Open guestmap.php and search for <script src=”https://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=
You will want to insert the key you received from Google after key=.

2. Open config.php and insert the database information between the ‘ ‘ on each line.

3. Now upload all the files. Make sure that the guestmap.php is at the root level for the website, and the other files are in a folder named guestmap.

I guess I just need how to link my template to the file guestmap.php in the root. I can send you the file to paste.uni.cc

Searching for google guestmap – I’ve found this:

Maybe it can help you. (I never used such a map, so I am more “guessing”… sorry.)

Thx, the last thing posted on that topic is:

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

So, I have my file, which is located in the root. I just have to know how to get it on a wordpress page. I have my template also, so how do I link the file in the root up to the template?

Not 100% sure but seems this thing doesn’t work with a Page template. I hope you followed the link from the thread above and read the other discussion, too (outside of this forum).
Seemingly it is too complicated to be simply pasted into a Page template. Sorry for the intial advice – I thought it was a simple code.

Well, I thought so too, thank you so much for your help anyway!
