v0.3.5

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

New

• Theme styling tab in Settings: a reference for theme developers listing every class, CSS custom property and the admaps:ready JavaScript event, with Tailwind examples.

Improved

• Clearer settings pages. Each tab now opens with a short intro and is split into titled sections (for example Pins and Radii and areas under New item defaults; Phones and tablets, Updates and Uninstalling under Advanced).
• The default map height box is wide enough to show its value.

Changed

• Themes can now set map styles. Appearance values left at their built-in defaults are no longer written onto each map, so a theme's CSS custom properties (e.g. --admaps-popup-bg) apply. Anything changed in Settings or a map's Appearance box still takes priority. Maps look the same as before unless your theme sets these properties.

Install / update

If you're on 0.3.2 or later with Settings → Advanced → Updates → "Offer pre-release (test) versions" ticked, this update appears on the Plugins screen. Otherwise download admaps-0.3.5.zip below and upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choosing Replace current with uploaded. Maps and settings are kept.

Full changes: v0.3.4...v0.3.5

v0.3.4

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

New

• Info bubble preview. When editing a pin, radius or area, tick Preview on map next to Info bubble to open the bubble on the map while you work. It updates as you type, and when you change the "Get directions" link or bubble size. The tick box stays on as you move between items.
• Live appearance. Changes in the map's Appearance box (bubble colours, text size, padding, corner radius, widths, theme font) show in the editor map straight away, so there's no need to save and check the front end.

Improved

• The editor map now uses the same bubble styles as the live map.

Shortcodes inside a bubble only run on the live site, so the preview shows them as plain text.

Install / update

If you're on 0.3.2 or later with Settings → Advanced → Updates → "Offer pre-release (test) versions" ticked, this update appears on the Plugins screen. Otherwise download admaps-0.3.4.zip below and upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choosing Replace current with uploaded. Maps and settings are kept.

v0.3.3

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

New

• Map tint. Each map can now be shown Normal, Greyscale or Dark, under Map tint in the map's settings, with a site-wide default in Settings → General. Only the map itself is recoloured; pins, radii, areas and bubbles keep their colours. Greyscale makes coloured items stand out; Dark suits dark websites.

Changed

• CARTO map styles removed. CARTO's free tiles now show "API key required" watermarks, so OpenStreetMap is the only built-in style. Maps that used a CARTO style switch to OpenStreetMap automatically; no editing needed. For a different look or busy sites, add a keyed provider under Settings → Custom tiles.

Install / update

If you're on 0.3.2 with Settings → Advanced → Updates → "Offer pre-release (test) versions" ticked, this update appears on the Plugins screen.

Full changes: v0.3.2...v0.3.3

v0.3.2

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

New

• Updates inside WordPress. From this version on, new releases appear on the Plugins and Updates screens like any other plugin, with these release notes under "View details". Auto-updates work too. Only stable releases are offered by default. Test sites: tick Settings → Advanced → Updates → "Offer pre-release (test) versions" to keep getting test builds like this one.

Install / update

This is the last version you need to install by hand. Download admaps-0.3.2.zip below, upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and choose Replace current with uploaded. Maps and settings are kept. Then tick the pre-release option above.

Full changes: v0.3.1...v0.3.2

v0.3.1

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

Changed

• Importing maps no longer downloads pin images from the other site. The "Copy custom pin images" option has been removed, so an import never makes your server fetch files from elsewhere. Pins that used a custom image come through as standard coloured pins, keeping their colour, position, label and bubble. Choose their images again from this site's media library if needed.

Install / update

Download admaps-0.3.1.zip below, upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and choose Replace current with uploaded. Maps and settings are kept.

v0.3.0

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

New

• Two-finger map movement on phones and tablets. One finger now scrolls the page past a map instead of getting stuck dragging it. Two fingers move and pinch-zoom the map, and a short "Use two fingers to move the map" hint appears if someone tries with one. Tapping pins and areas still opens their bubbles. Desktop is unchanged. Turn it off under Settings → Advanced → Touch screens.

Improved

• Map editor side panel. Selecting an item now shows just its settings, with a ← All items bar to go back, so there's no more scrolling past a long list. The panel is the same height as the map and scrolls on its own.
• Default item names. Unlabelled items are listed as "Pin 3", "Radius 2", "Area 1" and so on, or by the place name when added from address search. These names are only shown in the editor, never to visitors.
• Import / Export has moved from its own menu item to a tab in Maps → Settings. It now needs admin rights, like the rest of Settings. Editors can still export single maps from the Maps list.
• The Draw area button has a polygon icon.

Adtrak Maps 0.2.1 (pre-release)

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

Fixed

• Pins, radii and areas can now be placed on top of an existing radius or area in the map editor. Previously the click went to the shape underneath and nothing was placed. While a draw tool is active, the cursor shows a crosshair over shapes too.

Adtrak Maps 0.2.0 (pre-release)

Pre-release: for testing and internal sites. Please don't put it on client sites until 1.0.

New

• Get directions link on pins. Tick Add a "Get directions" link on any pin and its info bubble links to Google Maps directions to that spot (opens the Google Maps app on phones). Works on pins with no bubble text too. Change the link text under Maps → Settings → General, and tick it for new pins by default under New item defaults. Style it in themes with .admaps-directions.

Install / update

Download admaps-0.2.0.zip below. On a site with 0.1.0, upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and choose Replace current with uploaded. Maps and settings are kept.

Still looking for feedback on
