Scribble Maps
Provides a WordPress interface for embedding Scribble Maps from ScribbleMaps.com or KML from a specified url.
Basic Usage
Once the plugin is installed and activated, you can add your Scribble Maps to your pages using a tag like this in your articles:
[ScribbleMap mapID="MyMapID" height="150" width="300" /]
When you use the Rich Text Editor in either Visual or HTML modes, you should see a button on the right end of the upload/insert bar with the Scribble Maps logo in the visual mode or a button that reads “Scribble Maps Embed” in HTML mode. Click it, and you will be presented with the Scribble Maps Widget Embed generator which presents you with all possible embedding options. Set the options according to your needs and click the “Generate” button to drop an SM tag in your editor.
The only required attributes in an SM tag are mapID or kmlUrl, height, and width. See the the following sections all available attributes and advanced usage.
