MapBox Plugin for WordPress
MapBox is a WordPress plugin by miccolis that makes it easy to embed beautiful maps in your posts. Using the MapBox plugin you can quickly and easily embed MapBox hosted maps in your site.
Visit tiles.mapbox.com and find the map you want to embed.
When viewing the map click the “Embed” button. It’s in the top left corner of the map.
Adjust the map so that is shows what you want to embed. You can also adjust the height and width of the map in the panel on the right.
When you’re happy with the map, copy the ‘embed code’. It begins with “
Switch the editor to “HTML” and paste the embed code where you’d like the map.
Save, then view your post and enjoy the map!
You may notice that the MapBox plugin converts the embed code into a WordPress shortcode. The mapbox shortcode can take several options, all of which are optional. The order doesn’t matter at all.
layers – a comma seperated list of layers. The format of each layer is {account}.{layer}.
width – the desired width of the map, in pixels.
height – the desired height of the map, in pixels.
lat – The latitude where the map should be centered.
lon – The longitude where the map should be centered.
z – The ‘zoom level’ of the map. Zoom level ’12′ is a street level view, ’1′ is the view from the moon.
options – Controls and other options, a comma seperated list.
Note: currently the MapBox plugin assumes you’ll use the Modest Maps API. Other APIs are untested and probably unsupported.
