My vision regarding Leaflet Maps Marker is to work hard on delivering the best mapping solution available for WordPress – helping you to share your favorite spots. This involves adding new features, improving usability and support for new web design approaches for example. One of them is responsive design, which is about offering the same user experience regardless the device you are using. This is now also possible with maps created by Leaflet Maps Marker, which makes me (and hopefully you) quite happy 🙂
One personal request: as WordPress added a new review feature for plugins hosted on wordpress.org, I kindly invite you to leave your opinion about my plugin at http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/leaflet-maps-marker.
If you want to keep up to date with the latest Maps Marker development, please follow @MapsMarker on twitter or on Facebook
And now let´s get into the highlights of v3.2:
support for responsive designs
By default, map width unit is set to pixel for new marker and layer maps. Let´s say you created a map with width=640px and use a responsive theme. Until v3.2 the map was not displayed properly on mobile devices for example.
Now if you are using px as map width unit, the parent html element of the map´s div is checked via jQuery and if this element is smaller than the map´s width, the map gets resized to 100%:
If you don´t want to use this feature, you can turn it off as always. Just navigate to Settings / Misc / General settings and change the option to your need:
conditional css loading
v3.1 brought conditional loading for javascript. v3.2 now extends this feature and also loads css files only if a shortcode for a map is used. This increases the overall performance of your website as fewer http-requests have to be made and data has to be transfered (to be exact: 2 http requests & 13kb of css files).
Attention: if you use the function do_shortcode() within your template to display maps, please load the map on frontend and follow the instructions from the infobox!
list of markers below multi-layer-map can now also be sorted & sort order “layer ID” for list of markers below (multi-)layer-maps
Thanks a lot to Coen (www.landcruisingadventure.com) who informed me, that the markers in the list of markers below multi-layer-maps were wrong under certain circumstances. I fixed this with v3.2 and also enhanced this feature by also allowing to sort and limit the markers list under multi-layer-maps. Just navigate to Settings / Map Defaults / List of markers settings. These settings were available before v3.2 but now also work for multi-layer-maps.
I also added a new way of sorting the markers (layer ID), which might especially be useful for multi-layer-maps:
line breaks in popup texts are now also shown in the list of markers below layer maps
Thanks also to Felix who submited a patch which adds line breaks from the popup text in the list of markers automatically:

Bugfixes
Outlook – my plans for the next release
One release a week is quite stressful – so as we are approaching x-mas, I try to slow down a bit – and hope that no severe bugs will arise 🙂
