Map Connect Metadata and Map Application

Map Connect plugin with metadata and map application block for WordPress using different APIs including WordPress REST API

Description

API ROUTES: /tsu-mapconnect/v1/area/aname/ => lists all areas

/tsu-mapconnect/v1/area/aname/ => returns a single area by name, use '_' for whitespaces, ae/ue/oe for german Umlaute

/tsu-mapconnect/v1/area/pcode/ => Retrieves an area by an included postcode

/tsu-mapconnect/v1/area/activity/ => retrieves an area by activity

SHORTCODE (Not implemented at the moment - use the map block in Gutenberg):

If WP Classic is used, the map app can be placed using the WordPress Shortcode API. Use the following code:

[mapplication base_url="" metadata_url="" database_url="" colors=[]]

For most cases, it will be sufficent to place the shortcode like this: [mapplication]. Advanced users who would like to build their stuff themsselves also refer to Kerstin Huppenbauers nextjs-dimb repo for the map application found here: https://github.com/khuppenbauer/nextjs-dimb
