\t\t\t\tUnless I simply forget to do it every post at Szapp should be followed by a map of a random place on earth. I do this with the OpenStreetMap (OSM) WordPress Plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I made a small change to the plugin. By default the OSM maps are output at 600×400. I wanted to make it 800×640, to better fill the space of this template. I may be sorry I did this if ever I switch to a narrower template, though I don’t foresee that happening.<\/p>\n

This theme at present, by the way is “Divi”, from ElegantThemes.com<\/a>, where I subscribe to the “Developer” account. Most of the 87 themes will never find a use in my travels but many of them should.<\/p>\n

I thought I had found the way to change those default sizes in the plugin’s osm\/osm-options.php file, but I was wrong. The file to be changed is actually osm\/osm-oljs2.php, which contains 2 occurances of width=”600″ height=”400″ that I changed to width=”800″ height=”640″.<\/p>\n

If I make any other change it would be to output the shortcode into a <textarea> or <input type=”text”> window for easier copying and pasting. Either that or figure out how to automatically copy the shortcode to clipboard when the map is clicked.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: May 19, 2014. As I should have guessed, updating the plugin to its most recent version overwrites this tweak. Maybe it’s better left as-is.<\/div><\/div>\n
