Use Case Assumptions

In this example use case guide we will consider how to let your users add and manage locations from their PeepSo profiles.

We consider that you have already bought and configured the base plugin WordPress Interactive Map Plugin, but not installed PeepSo and the Locations PeepSo Integration Add-on. 

It follows:

• Installing the plugins and add-ons
  • Locations recap
• Initial setup - PeepSo
• Integration Settings
  • 1) User profile and widget: Locations tab
  • 2) User profile and widget: Manage Locations tab
  • 3) Activity feed
  • 4) Dashicons
• Labels
• End result

Installing the Plugin and Add-on

The process is the same for all CM plugins and add-ons.

• Download the plugin from your customer dashboard.
• Log in to WordPress and navigate to the WordPress Admin  → Plugins settings.
• Click on Add New.
• Activate it and add the license.

TIP: Automatic Index and Dashboard

Upon installation, the plugin automatically creates a page for the location index and another for the dashboard. Head to Settings → General tab to:

1. Find shortcuts to these pages
2. Enable or disable them (useful if you want to create your own)

Initial Setup - PeepSo

How Do I Install PeepSo?

PeepSo can be downloaded from the WordPress back-end.

Once installed, follow its documentation for the initial setup.

Integration Settings

Then you need to install and activate Locations PeepSo Integration Add-on. Upon activating the Integration Plugin and installing the license for it, new settings will become available in the PeepSo settings on the WordPress dashboard.

1) User Profile and Widget: Locations Tab

This tab will show all the user's published locations and allows managing them.

This tab can be configured from the box User Profile: User's Locations Tab. The options are:

• Show "Locations" tab in the user's profile shortcode - If enabled, users will see the Locations tab in each user's profile that displays the maps created by the specific user.
• Location's featured image - Choose what kind of location's image to display in the user's profile page. You can choose between:

  • First location's image

    

  • Location's icon

    

  • None

    

• Manage locations under "My Locations" tab - If enabled, the user will be able to manage his locations under the same tab Locations, using the button Manage Locations.

  Tip: Manage Button is Private

  The Manage Locations button changes the tab content from the location public list to the action shortcuts.

  The button only appears to the currently logged-in user.

  

2) User Profile and Widget: Manage Locations Tab

The Admin has the option to add the Manage Locations tab to users' navigation menus as well or instead.

This is done by enabling the option Show separate "Manage Locations" tab in the user's profile:

3) Activity Feed

It's possible to have status updates to be automatically posted to a user's profile page and to the activity feed when they create a new Map Location.

There are two options under the Activity Feed box for configuring automatic updates:

• Create PeepSo activity when user created a location - Turn on this option to make automatic updates work. The activity post with the user's location link will be added to his Stream (wall) in his profile and will be also visible in the [peepso_activity] shortcode.
• Activity post template for new location - Customize the template that is used to generate the posts. You can use the following shortcodes:
  • [fullname] - user's display name
  • [title] - location's title
  • [permalink] - permalink to the location's page
  • [excerpt] - excerpt of the location's description

4) Dashicons

The tabs in user profile and links in the widget have dashicons that you can change.

The dashicons can be changed in the Profile Widget box, the options are:

• Locations link icon CSS
• Manage Locations link icon CSS

You can find more dashicon links here: Developer Resources: Dashicons

When you finished configuration, don't forget to click the button Save Settings at the bottom of the page.

Labels

You can change the names of front-end labels - tabs and buttons. To do this, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM Map Locations Pro → Settings → Labels.

The labels related to PeepSo integration are located in the corresponding section:

End Result

Following instructions found in the plugin and guides, you and your users should be able to add multiple locations to your site from the PeepSo profile.
