@Ari: it depends on what version of Wordpress you have. A tutorial on how to use the links manager is here: Links Manager

Thank you

@agus: I’ll try to answer all of your questions here:

1. Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION:

I commented the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION line out of my code and it seemingly has no effect on functionality. Hopefully this fixes your warning.

2. Your link’s geographical information not showing up:

I accidentally hard coded the WordPress links table to be wp_links rather than using $wpdb->links. The 0.13 release of this plugin should fix this.

3. The Google copyright is annoying:

You can add the following CSS to your code to hide the copyright:

.gmnoprint {
display: none;
}

4. Prevent the blog from crashing when you deactivate the plugin:

Rather than just adding geo_blogroll_show_map(); to your template, add this:
< ?php if (function_exists(geo_blogroll_show_map)) {geo_blogroll_show_map(); }; ?>

I updated the documentation to reflect this.

5. Add a shortcode.

I should do this. I’ll add this to my to-do list.

Thank you for your quick response.

Having renamed the folder, although it did come an error message, the plugin works (the error is “Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in …./geo_blogroll/geo_blogroll.php on line 214″).

Yes, it works but not perfectly. It shows the map but I cannot see any placemark icon on it. When I checked my links, all information I saved (city, state, country) are gone. Is it related to the error I mentioned above?

Secondly, when I put the map on my sidebar (about 200px width), the copyright related thing is very annoying. It breaks the ‘box’ as the copyright sentence length is wider than my sidebar width.

Little suggestions for future dev’t:
1. I use for preventing my blog crash when I deactivated the plugin;
2. A shortcode for displaying map on page or post would be great;

Thank you

@agus: I am glad that you like the plugin. I think the problem is that my name of the folder and the file are different, which is causing you issues. If you rename the plugin folder from geo-blogroll to geo_blogroll, it should work. Let me know if this works and if you have any other issues.

Hi, when I saved my setting page, an error message came out: Cannot load geo_blogroll/geo_blogroll.php.

I think I already did all your configuration steps. Please help. I do like the idea of this plugin. Thank ou
