Pagination

No, the plugin doesn’t currently support that.

Could you kindly suggest me if is there a workaround to do that? See my page https://www.diesmn.org/partners/ When it will be over the list will be over 200 names, and it will be a problem … Thanx

Yes, I would like the same feature. kkriss, I love what you did with the map categories.

The only easy workaround for a non-developer that I can think of would be to break it into multiple pages, with each page limited to certain categories. e.g.,

[bgmp-list categories="record-stores,parks"]

If you’re a developer (or want to hire one), then you could build in pagination pretty easily with URL parameters that tie into a filter callback (or various other approaches).

As you can see in my pages, I broke into multiple pages with categories, but I need also a general page containing all the categories, and it will necessarily be a very long list. Unfortunately I’m not a developer, but, if it’s not so difficult, why don’t you think about implementing it in your plugin, and also the possibility to get a preview of the single marker page in the info window (title, thumbnail, excerpt and link to the page, similar to a blog page. I think users will be happy to pay for such a plugin, as it’s difficult to use it when lots of markers are needed. Thanks for your work.

Glad if you like my way of using the plugin. ??
I used the shortcode [bgmp-map] for the global map in my page and [bgmp-list viewonmap=”true”] for the list of “partners” under the map. For single categories pages they become e.g. [bgmp-map categories=”sindacati”] and [bgmp-list categories=”sindacati” viewonmap=”true”]
For adding the link to the whole page of a single “partner” in the list of placemarks under a map, I added in the shortcode-bgmp-list-marker.php (in the plugin “views” folder):

<li id="<?php esc_attr_e( self::PREFIX ); ?>list-item-<?php esc_attr_e( $p->ID ); ?>" class="<?php esc_attr_e( self::PREFIX ); ?>list-item">
	<h4 class="<?php esc_attr_e( self::PREFIX ); ?>list-placemark-title">
		<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_title', $p->post_title ); ?></h4>

Unfortunately it is not possible to paginate the markers list and it makes the page very long if you have a lot of markers, that is hugely probable for the ones who use such a plugin. Also is not possible to see a preview of the entire page of the marker, but all the page is displayed in the frame inside the info window opening when clicking on each icon on the map.
Hope it helps.

but, if it’s not so difficult, why don’t you think about implementing it in your plugin, and also…

Because there are, literally, hundreds of requests like yours. I don’t have the time or energy to do everybody else’s work for them; I just built the plugin that I needed, and then put it out there for others to use if it fit their needs too. Along the way I have put a lot of extra work into it to make it more useful for others, but there are limits.

I think users will be happy to pay for such a plugin,

I don’t have any interest in making money off my plugins. Even if I did, it’s not a particularly attractive business model; there are very few people who can actually make a decent living doing it.

I can imagine you’re receiving many requests but I think that pagination is a natural need that lots of people have, so it should be nice if you can suggest us even a plugin to do it,without you have to work again on your plugin, because otherwise it’s impossible to let the list grow more and more.
I’m happy you don’t care about money … ?? Thanks for your nice work.
