What else do you need??
I want to display the post title, a customised length from the description, maybe one of my custom fields. If there’s some info on how to do this that would help.
Thanks.
Are you just not sure how to get the title, description and custom fields?
$post->post_title
substr( $post->post_content, 0, 50 )
get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'field_name', true )
There’s lots of resources online if you search around, too. developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins is a good place to start.

I know how to get post content. It’s not clear how to display that post content in the pop-up window content for your plugin.
Thanks.
Just set $placemark[ 'details' ] with it.

And this is what I don’t understand (and why I was hoping for some documentation):
If I remove the line “$post = get_page_by_title( $placemark[ ‘title’ ], ‘OBJECT’, ‘bgmp’ );” then common sense says that no title should show in the pop-up, just the link I added below that line. But the title still does show.
Are you able to give me the exact code to replace the above that will show just some custom text in the pop-up?
Happy to pay for your help, just at present it’s not very clear of how to edit the above to work.
Thanks.
I think you’re misunderstanding the code; removing the $post = ... line won’t remove the title, it’ll just make the data about the post unavailable. To set an empty title, you’d need to do something like $placemark['title'] = ''.
This plugin is just something I do in my free time, so I’m not able to offer extensive documentation or support for people who want to customize it to do other things.

Okay, worked it out, thanks for your help. This is the code I now have that shows the title, a shortened amount of content, and a link to the post. Hopefully it helps someone else:
function addBGMPInfoWindowPermalink( $placemarks ) {
$newPlacemarks = array();
foreach( $placemarks as $placemark ) {
$post = get_page_by_title( $placemark[ 'title' ], 'OBJECT', 'bgmp' );
$content = $post->post_content;
$shortcontent = substr($content, 0, 100);
$placemark[ 'details' ] = $shortcontent.'...<br />';
$placemark[ 'details' ] .= '<a href="'.get_permalink( $post->ID ).'">Details</a>';
$newPlacemarks[] = $placemark;
}
return $newPlacemarks;
}
add_filter( 'bgmp_get-map-placemarks-return', 'addBGMPInfoWindowPermalink' );
