 * Hi!
 * I am developing a site for hikers and as I’ve been reviewing this plugin I am
   excited about all of the features it offers. I was wondering if there is a way
   for authors of a site to create a map on the frontend or within a frontend publisher?
 * Thanks!
    Saunsea

 * Hi Saunsea,
    thanks for your feedback (I’d appreciate your review at [http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/leaflet-maps-marker](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/leaflet-maps-marker)
   even more 😉 The next release will include an API which you can use on frontend
   to add markers via a custom form (that would have to be added by you)
 * for a later pro version (v1.0 will be released on July 22nd) I am planning an
   own function for adding markers from frontend more easily (without having to 
   use the API)
    best, Robert

 * Robert,
 * Has this been implamented yet? I too am looking for an easy way for users to 
   add markers from a frontend form.
 * Im not sure i understand how the API thing works but would like to know how i
   can do this. Im trying to allow users to add locations to a map on different 
   layers.
 * I look forward to your reply.
    Best,
 * James…

 * Hi James,
    With the API you just have to build a html-form which sends the data
   to the api endpoints – unfortunately I didnt have time yet to update the tutorial–
   will put this higher on my 2do-list. Anyway for a later pro version I plan to
   add this as a out-of-the-box-feature – by allowing users to add markers from 
   frontend by just inserting a shortcode like “mapsmarker-frontend” on the post
   or page where they want the form to be displayed. best, Robert
