   Hi everybody
   I tried to integrate a google-map via their Javascript - lib into a Blogpost.
   THe JS - file is loaded but the additional content is not added to display the map in the body.
   Since it works with the original wordpress theme, it must be something in the theme, that blocks the integration of javascript into the body of the posts.

   Default Wordpress Theme:
   
<div id="canvas_b07V" style="width:400px; height:400px" class="google-map-sc-canvas"></div><script type="text/javascript">
var map_canvas_b07V;
var map_points_canvas_b07V = new Array();
map_points_canvas_b07V[0] = {'point':{'lat':"51.1656910",'long':"10.4515260"},'info':"blah"};
addLoadEvent(function(){
map_canvas_b07V = new gmshc_render("canvas_b07V",map_points_canvas_b07V, 10);
});
addEvent(window,'unload',GUnload,false);
</script>


   BF - Code of an emtpy post
   
<!-- begin post -->

   <div id="post-518" class="post single normal hentry p1 post draft author-agnes category-allgemein untagged y2010 m06 d09 h21">

   <div class="postimage"></div>

   <div class="post-title"><h1>Googletest</h1></div>

   <script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.refresh(); </script>

   <div class="pagelink"></div>

   <div id="after-article"></div>

   </div>

   <!-- end post -->


   Is this use of JS somehow blocked?
   If yes, where is the place to switch JS on?
   Thanks for your help

   I can hack it directly into the post, which results in:
   
<script type="text/javascript"> Cufon.refresh(); </script> <div id="canvas_KsBn" style="width:400px; height:400px" class="google-map-sc-canvas"></div>

   <p><script type="text/javascript">

   var map_canvas_KsBn;

   var map_points_canvas_KsBn = new Array();

   map_points_canvas_KsBn[0] = {'point':{'lat':"51.1656910",'long':"10.4515260"},'info':"blah"};

   addLoadEvent(function(){

   map_canvas_KsBn = new gmshc_render("canvas_KsBn",map_points_canvas_KsBn, 10);

   });

   addEvent(window,'unload',GUnload,false);

   </script>

   </div>


   ... but I would prefer to use the plugin Google Maps Shortcode for this.

   javascript is not blocked, that is client side. It can be in conflict with some other javascript and therefore not function. I pasted the code above (the first one) into a post and a page (editor in html mode) and it worked fine. It could be in conflict with one of your installed plugins...

   so are you saying that the Google Maps Shortcode is not working? You add the shortcode into a post/page and not to the code of the php.

   Sry in explaining it not quite well: sometimes I tend to leave the "obvious" steps out but "obvious" depends .. obviously.

   Yeah, the plugin uses the wordpress shortcode functions to add a google map based on their JS lib into the generated html.
   So you add the shortcode into the html editor like [google-map-sc], add some locations etc and the post will include this map with the point. This runs with the default wordpress theme, so the error shouldn't be produced by me (directly).

   Javascript can only be disabled by the client, that I know :).

   Using the same information on the blog with the bigfeature - theme (shortcode in the html editor etc) results in not writing the necessary JS into the body of the post.
   I can write the JS by hand into the post body via the html editor like posted above but well I would have to hack every map point into the map.

   It looks like something is blocking the translation from shortcode to JS in the post body.
   Since we have a quite clean installation and plugins, I would assume that no plugin is producing this mess.

   But if you are able to use the shortcode way to produce a map then .. well .. I would need to dig deep to find the interfering plugin :(.
   I don't have time until the end of this week to test other shortcode plugins, but that is probably something, which could help to find the cause.

   I tested the plugin with the theme and it works fine, using this shortcode (in a post and a page):

   [google-map-sc address="9-19 Rue Notre Dame des Victoires, 75002 Paris, France" width="100%"]

   or with the address as a custom field.

   I solved the mystery: it was actually the shortcode plugin (or whatever).
   When the post is in draft modus and you use the interface instead of the address as a direct option, the plugin fails to generate the JS parts but includes the js - file in the header.

   So if the page or post is in draft modus, the address must be delivered in your way and not via the given interface.
   If the page/post is published, the map will pop up independently of how the points are given.

   Small thing, big effect.
   Thanks for your help :).
