 * Hi,
 * I am using at the moment the free version of your plugin and would like to upgrade….
   but still I have a couple of questions (sorry, I am just a beginner…):
 * 1. Can I have a map in the sidebar, like a widget, showing me the position of
   the actual post.
 * 2. I want to show all points of all posts on one single map on my “browse by 
   locations” page. Do I just have to write cat=-1 to show them all?
 * 3. Where do ich find the IDs of the categories? (These are the normal categories,
   that I use in wordpress?)
 * 4. Can I delete map points, the ones I created to do some tests? Otherwise they
   would appear on the cat=-1 map, right?
 * 5. What are these template pages you are taking about? Is it for websites not
   made with wordpress?
 * thats all for now, thanks 🙂
    henning

 * Hi,
 * I’ll answer all your questions one by one:
 * Q: Can I have a map in the sidebar, like a widget, showing me the position of
   the actual post.
 * A: In the latest update of the premium version of plugin, is possible to insert
   the map in sidebar through widgets (the widgets are available in the menu option“
   Appearance / Widgets”). If you want that map displays the points associated to
   the post is visited, you should let empty the “category” box in the widget’s 
   settings.
 * Q: I want to show all points of all posts on one single map on my “browse by 
   locations” page. Do I just have to write cat=-1 to show them all?
 * A: Yes, that’s right, using the “cat” attribute to -1 you can display all points
   of website on map. The category attribute is available only in the premium version
   of plugin.
 * Q: Where do ich find the IDs of the categories? (These are the normal categories,
   that I use in wordpress?)
 * A: It is easy, go to the menu option “Posts / Categories”, select the category
   that you want know the ID, and look in the URL on browser, the parameter, tag_ID,
   it is the category ID.
 * Q: Can I delete map points, the ones I created to do some tests? Otherwise they
   would appear on the cat=-1 map, right?
 * A: The map with cat=-1 will display all points defined in your website. If you
   want remove a point, in the free version of plugin, go to the page/post where
   the point was defined, and deletes the point’s data, before press the update 
   button of post/page.
 * Q: What are these template pages you are taking about? Is it for websites not
   made with wordpress?
 * A: The WordPress themes are created with template files, each of them are used
   depending of website section your are visiting, so, if you insert the shortcode
   directly in a template file, the map will be displayed each time the template
   file is used.
