Changelog

1.4.1

1.4.0

  • Added the ability to show/hide all Types initially when using the Shortcode by specifying "*" as the Type key. For example, to initially hide all Marker Types, except "photo" and "alert", use [Waymark map_id="1234" hide_marker="*" show_marker="photo,alert"]. Thanks to Association Franc-Comtoise du Chemin de Compostelle for requesting this.
  • Improved debugging output.

1.3.2

Collection background loading bug fix. Thanks to zerider for reporting this.

1.3.0

  • Overlay Properties - Read GeoJSON feature properties when importing (Settings > Overlays > Properties). If Waymark finds data for the specified property keys they will stored upon import. These can be automatically appended to the Overlay Description, or accessed programatically via the layer.feature.properties Object. Thanks to dariospace for the requesting the return of this feature.

1.2.0

Enable or disable various WordPress features of the Map Custom Post Type, including the new ability to enable comments and excerpt integration. This Setting is Available in Settings > Advanced > Post Type. Thanks to YosoraLife for requesting this (here and here).

1.1.8

Show/Hide Overlay Types bug fix. Thanks to YosoraLife for raising this issue.

1.1.7

Another Collection Map link fix.

1.1.6

Removed Link to/from Maps Setting in Collection options. Links to/from Collections and Maps will now be displayed by default, but can be hidden using CSS if desired. Thanks to wkndwlk for reporting this.

1.1.5

1.1.4

  • Map height bug fix.

1.1.3

  • Submission File Upload bug fix.

1.1.2

  • Adding missing localisations.

1.1.1

1.1.0

  • Waymark JS - The plugin has been significantly refactored, with the JavaScript codebase being split into a separate project. This makes the Waymark Editor and Viewer available as a standalone library, which can be used in any web page and does not require WordPress.
  • Removed the Show/Hide "Type Labels" Setting. Type labels are always shown by default, but can be hidden using CSS.
  • Removed Settings for importing custom GeoJSON properties.
  • Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.

1.0.4

  • Removed "Store Read Files" Setting, which was disabled by default and did not work reliably.
  • Waymark JS refactoring, preparing for spin-off.
  • Other fixes and improvements.

1.0.3

  • Global Callback - If the function waymark_loaded_callback is defined globally, it will be called when Waymark has loaded. This allows you to extend Waymark functionality similar to the Shortcode Callback, however it will apply to all Waymark Maps.
  • Fix for Export/Overlay Filter bug.
  • Other fixes and improvements.

1.0.2

Fix for colours not appearing correctly in the Overlay Filter. Thanks to geomfranzo for raising this.

  • Added Total Ascent and Descent to Elevation Profile. Thanks to MaximeChallon for the Pull Request 🙂
  • Improved rendering of multiple Maps through the Collection Shortcode, where the initial view would sometimes not be set correctly to view all Map data.
  • Updated documentation.
  • Lots of other bug fixes and improvements.

0.9.30

  • Marker Clustering
    • Once enabled, Markers will be stacked when they are close together. This can help to reduce clutter on the Map.
    • You can enable this feature in Settings > Maps > Clustering, or using the show_cluster="1" Shortcode option.
    • There are also settings to adjust the cluster radius and what what zoom level to start clustering at.
  • Added file_start_type and file_end_type options to the Shortcode Files feature, which allow you to automatically add a Marker of the specified type to the start and/or end of all Lines in the file. Thanks to digbymaass for the suggestion.
  • Stop Elevation plugin from adjusting map bounds. Thanks to ellocosolo for the report.
  • Improved KML error handling when loading from URL.

  • Fixed a bug where Submissions were not being saved.

0.9.29.3

  • Added a Collections > "Shortcode Method" Setting. This allows you to choose whether Map data is loaded in the Background (via AJAX), or Embedded in the page when embedding a Collection via the Shortcode. Embedding may be a bad idea for LARGE COLLECTIONS, but may resolve some (JavaScript) issues where Collections are not displaying correctly.

0.9.29.2

  • Fixed a bug where the Shortcode Zoom and Centre parameters were being ignored. Thanks to killianweid for creating this issue.

0.9.29.1

0.9.29

  • Added map_width Shortcode option, which has been requested a couple of times. Thanks for bugging me! :0)
  • Added Opacity Setting for Line Types (Lines > Opacity), thanks to digbymaass for the suggestion.

0.9.28.7

  • Meta data is now preserved when the Map is trashed/restored. Thanks to killiandev7 for bringing this to my attention.
  • Fixed a bug where special characters in Description were being messed up. Thanks to killianweid for creating this issue.
  • Fixed a bug with some KML files when loading from URL using Shortcode. Thanks to henkna for letting me know about this.
  • Added Leaflet Basemap examples URL to Settings > Basemaps.
  • Minor bug fixes and improvements.

0.9.28.6

Added max_zoom Shortcode option, which will prevent the Map from being zoomed in further that this zoom level (usually ~1-20 range). Thanks to microteq for the suggestion.

0.9.28.5

Added elevation_units (metric/imperial) Shortcode option, which will override the Waymark > Elevation > Elevation Units option. Thanks to randombuffalo for the suggestion.

0.9.28.4

0.9.28.3

  • More fixes!

0.9.28.2

  • Fixed a bug where Maps initally hidden on page load are broken. Thanks to microteq for reporting this.

  • Fix for a weird glitch where sometimes the Map will not "wake" if the mouse is hovering over that Map during initial page load. Thanks to microteq for reporting this.

0.9.28.1

  • Fixed a bug where Line direction arrows were being shown for hidden Lines. Thanks to microteq for reporting this.

0.9.28

  • Direction Arrows
    • Lines can now have a direction associated with them. To add a direction, click on a Line while editing a Map and select from the direction dropdown. Thanks for the suggestions!
  • Interaction
  • By default, Waymark disables scroll zoom until the user hovers over the Map for 2 seconds. This behaviour can now be customised in Waymark Settings > Maps > Interaction. Settings allow you to adjust the delay and optionally display a message to the user while scroll zoom is disabled, for example "Click or Hover to Wake".
  • Fixed an annoying glitch where mouse "wheeling" over the elevation chart caused the Map to zoom.
  • Added Max Zoom setting in Maps > Basemaps, which was requested a long time ago!
  • Permalinks
  • Customise your Map and Collection URLs in Waymark Settings > Advanced > Permalinks by specifying Map and Collection slugs (i.e. example.com/[map-slug]/example-map/ and example.com/[collection-slug]/example-collection/). Thanks to wkndwlk for the suggestion.
  • GeoJSON Properties
  • You can now read GeoJSON feature properties when importing from file by adding them in Waymark Settings > Overlays > Properties. If Waymark finds data for these properties it will be added to the Overlay description when it is imported. Thanks to waimek for the suggestion.
  • Collection Export
  • You can now Export entire Collections when embedding them with the Shortcode. Click Details in the Shortcode Header to see the Export feature. The Public Export (Settings > Map > Misc.) and Shortcode Header (Settings > Map > Shortcodes) Settings must be enabled. As with Maps only the currently visible Overlays are exported, with GeoJSON, KML and GPX supported. Thanks to wimzwag for the suggestion.
  • Fixed a bug where elevation data remained visible even when a Line was hidden. Thanks to Nigel for pointing this out.

0.9.27

  • Added Map Scale Setting, which displays a distance scale on the Map in kilometers and miles (Settings > Map > Misc.)

0.9.26

  • Individual Overlay Types can now be Shown/Hidden initially using the Shortcode, overriding the "Show Initially" Setting for each. Use the hide_marker, show_marker, hide_line, show_line, hide_shape, show_shape Shortcode parameters, providing one or multiple (comma separated) Type Keys. For example:

[Waymark map_id="1234" hide_marker="photo,alert" show_line="green"]

Thanks to hansolo68 for the suggestion.

    [Waymark file_url="http://example.com/track.gpx"]
    By default, all Overlays (Markers/Lines/Shapes) will be displayed using the default Type (i.e. the first listed in Settings). You can specify a different Type to use like this:[Waymark file_url="http://example.com/track.gpx" file_line_type="photo"]. Thanks to Jan de Boer for this suggestion and yorobo for the reminder.
