I may be stretched too far to support wordpress-mu, but I will take a look at that
code and contact you if I have any ideas.

Hi, 

have just worked a bit with it. 

Seems like MU does not give a 'static' status. Instead a column 'post-type' is used,
so  writing 
"WHERE post_type='page' ORDER BY post_name"); in line 279 of geo-mashup.php gives the
possibility to choose a mashup-page-slug. 

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but the linking of categories does work so. 

Hi 
just wondering how to set up this great plugin to work accross the whole wordpress mu
sites?
Now I am at the stage that each blog can activate geomashup as a plugin and display a
post map on its own subdomain.
But I woukd like to have main map on the frontpage of main blog  to display all
recent post accross the sites...
Any ideas? Would anybody play around?

How did you do this? Please share as it would be great. Are you using subdomains?

I am not a coder but could think of something, maybe someone can build it: 
when using subdomains (xxx1.domain.com) etc, it should be possible to request one
master API key from Google (for domain.com, so without subdomains). If everybody uses
this API key, then I think all posts on all subdomains should be plottable?

Problem is that then you cannot get a per user/subdomain map, unless you can use two
Google API's for the same post. So maybe the best solution is to:
- implement it per user/subdomain with their own API (how?)
- Make a checkbox under each post with 'do you want to have your post appear on the
overall domain.com map?'. If checked (could be default), then a 2nd -overall/master-
API key is attached to that post.

Not sure if this is workable?
Cheers.

I got the first part working as well, installing the plugin on all blogs in MU 
individually. But I still have to go in as a admin and chnage the settings for every 
new blog that is create. Doesn anybody have a solution to clone not only the plugin, 
but also the settings? I am not using subdomains, I am using folders for my blogs, 
so the google api key should stay the same. I want to restrict the users from 
accessing the plugins settings, but I also donlt want to have to manually add the 
settings to every blog created.

Joost - I think "Plugin Commander" and the "Blog Defaults" plugins can solve part of
your problem.  Using these two plugins will allow control over both what plugins are
activated for each new user blog created and also control access to the plugin menu
for users. 

Unfortunately, the settings under "options" for geo mashup are not copied down, so if
you take away the user's ability to see it, they can not change the settings.  I am
looking at where the values could be hard coded in and I think if that can be done,
it will work for WPMU.  

The one thing I am checking first is that each blog will have it's own global map or
if there will be one global map for all of the blogs on that WPMU instance.  I think
somehow there needs to be a way to get both...and that may turn out to be an issue
with using the same API key on all blogs.  

If anyone has already looked into this or knows the answer, I would appreciate any
feed back.

Hi Everybody, 

Thinking I post on a wrong part of the group, sorry but I will make a comment here :P

I´m using WP_mu + BuddyPress and the plugin works but when I´m insert the map on the
home.php og the buddypress-home Theme the map doesn´t show any location point.

So you have any idea ?.

Much thanx for the plugin.

I'm also very interested in an WPMU + Buddypress version of GeoMashup. It would be
great if we could get an additional overall global map composed of all blog posts
within the community (implemented in the buddypress home.php). The rest of the plugin
could work as now on a per blog basis (map implemented via <php> in the users blog
template. Is this allready possible with the current 1.2beta2?

Hi guys, any news on an installation on WPMU, and on BP? 

I was able to get geo-mashup to run in mu-plugins, and made a few changes that will
make this easier in the next beta release. 

It immediately occurred to me that in MU you'll probably want two levels of geo data:
individual blogs and site-wide things like groups, blogs, etc. Right now Geo Mashup
is not aware of any of this higher-level data.

Excellent, yes in mu it would be great to be able to see 2 things to get started imho:
- blogs: to see where the are located, adding geo to blog settings
- posts: as it is in the plugin now, but having a way to aggregate all blog's posts

Do you want me to send you swiss chocolate :) ?

Great news!

this is cool to hear budy press is on the way.. i have a simple version of things
running on the groups or spots in my case at http://spotskenya.com

Hey Dylan,

on April 27, 2009 you wrote that you got geo-mashup to run in mu-plugins. Is this
feature in the current alpha version of 1.3? Any news of a version for wpmu which
might include a wpmu-global-map for all blogs running under wpmu and a global-map on
per blog basis?

The code I added is present in 1.3alpha1, so GM may work in the mu-plugins folder,
but I haven't been able to address any of the major issues discussed here. I think
I'll need to find a client who wants it before I can afford the time to really handle
MU. I do have one prospect for August.

how much money would you need to get this done, i don't mind donating it to get the
plugin mu compatible.

Maybe I've been too overwhelmed by all that could or should be done to run well under
MU. It could be that just getting GM to run without errors in MU would be very
valuable and might only take a couple of hours. Maybe you could hire me
(http://www.cyberhobo.net/hire-me) to do it for your project?
