Simple Google Street View

February 02, 2011

Simple Google Street View Plugin

Adds the functionality for Google Street View windows to your posts and pages without the need of a google API key.

This plugin creates a point and click interface to add Google Street View panorama’s to your posts and pages. Click on the appropriate media-button to insert one. You can add as many panorama’s as you want and style them individually using CSS.

Features:

  • Easy to use (if you have used Google Street View before, you will recognize the interface)
  • No template hacking required
  • No API key required
  • CSS can be used in the quicktag for advanced styling
  • New in this version: address searchbox

When you add the view to the post/page, the plugin generates a [streetview] tag. This tags contains the location and point of view information:

[streetview width="100%" height="250px" lat="34.360988" lng="-86.693436" heading="-94.17771883289124" pitch="-3.342175066312998" zoom="1"][/streetview]

The orther attributes (eg. width and height) are converted to CSS and you can add you own CSS as well. For example, this code will generate a square (500×500) street view window, with a green border:

[streetview border="green 1px solid" width="500px" height="500px" lat="34.360988" lng="-86.693436" heading="-94.17771883289124" pitch="-3.342175066312998" zoom="1"][/streetview]
