There are two functions which can be integrated as template tag:

A simple one:

function OSM_displayOpenStreetMap(
$a_width, // the width of the map
$a_height, // the hight of the map
$a_zoom,  // zoomlevel of the map
$a_type)  // type of the map

And a advanced one with some more arguments:

function OSM_displayOpenStreetMapExt(
$a_width,          // the width of the map: > 0
$a_height,         // the height of the map: > 0
$a_zoom,           // zoomlevel of the map: 1...17
$a_type,           // type of the map: Osmarender, Mapnik, CycleMap, All
$a_control,        // wich controls are added: No, scaleline,scale,mouseposition
$a_marker_name,    // choose one of the markers shown in the plugin settings
$a_marker_height,  // osm-marker: 0; own marker > 0
$a_marker_width,   // osm-marker: 0; own marker > 0
$a_marker_text,    // add the name of the customfeld for the markerinfo
$a_ov_map)         // zoomlevel if you want a overviewmap: 0...17

The WordPress Theme of Fotomobil.at has got this modification in the index.php:

<div>
 <?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
 <?php OSM_displayOpenStreetMapExt(
  "600", // sime width as the photos in this theme
  "180", // the height of the map
  "5",   // the zoomlevel
  "Osmarender", // just one map
  "No",         // without any control button
  "wpttemp-yellow.png", // use this standard osm-marker
  0,  // since it is a standard marker we need no size
  0,  // since it is a standard marker we need no size
  "", // no customfields are used for popup marker
  "13");?> // the zoomlevel of the overviewmap
</div>

Since the geolocation of this post is Beijing this map is shown – check other cities …:

Note: If you want to use your own marker:

copy your marker into your uploads-folder (do not copy it into the plugins/osm folder!)
use markeraddress like this to get to uploads folder: “../../../uploads/MyMarker.png”
