    My Goal: To have a Flickr photo slideshow play in an info window on Google map (map api)
    I’m using WordPress plugin “slickr-flickr” to create my slideshow
    which utilises shortcode
    I can’t use the exact shortcode I would use in my wordpress posts eg.
    [slickr-flickr tag”example”]
    because shortcode doesn’t work in the wordpress page template file
    which my map api code is in.
    NB/I’m not using a map api plugin, I’ve been making my own may based off code from https://econym.org.uk/gmap/

    The slideshow I want is playing fine under map with php echo code:
    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[slickr-flickr tag=”Seattle” type=”slideshow”
    size=”small”]’); ?>

    But if I insert same code within map api info box the map will not
    show.
    eg.
    var point = new GLatLng(46,-121);
    var marker = createMarker(point,’Test’,'<?php echo
    do_shortcode(‘[slickr-flickr tag=”Seattle” type=”slideshow”
    size=”small”]’); ?>’)
    map.addOverlay(marker);

    Presumably php cannot be inserted where html would normally go in this
    manner, any suggestions?
    I’m very novice with php and map api, just trying to get a map with my
    travels on it. Please help.

    Can php be incorporated into text/javascript code as above?
