Now this is the most essential part of the tutorial and you have to do it very carefully. In the template, search for the </body> tag and just above it paste the following HTML Coding.
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
var text_month = [, "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var no_image_url = "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAwunB1LfHa1fvYdYc0LiJl1u0ZhVMokDrgOgEq3qdc_5qv1xLyoyKbSIsRFTo7T7oMWamCMbEQZzcWrVvBkDBzEGg7fbEsYOORJbBbnO491K0XplV3Q_LSG2xA_1ZJYXMxqcOy7gGbcg/s1600-r/nth.png";
var static_page_text = $.trim($('.static_page .post-body').text());
if (static_page_text === "[sitemap]") {
var postbody = $('.static_page .post-body');
$.ajax({
url: "/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script",
type: 'get',
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(dataZ) {
var blogLabels = [];
for (var t = 0; t < dataZ.feed.category.length; t++) {
blogLabels.push(dataZ.feed.category[t].term)
}
var blogLabels = blogLabels.join('/');
postbody.html('<div class="siteLabel"></div>');
$('.static_page .post-body .siteLabel').text(blogLabels);
var splabel = $(".siteLabel").text().split("/");
var splabels = "";
for (get = 0; get < splabel.length; ++get) {
splabels += "<span>" + splabel[get] + "</span>"
}
$(".siteLabel").html(splabels);
$('.siteLabel span').each(function() {
var mapLabel = $(this);
var mapLabel_text = $(this).text();
$.ajax({
url: "/feeds/posts/default/-/" + mapLabel_text + "?alt=json-in-script",
type: 'get',
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data) {
var posturl = "";
var htmlcode = '<div class="mapa">';
for (var i = 0; i < data.feed.entry.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < data.feed.entry[i].link.length; j++) {
if (data.feed.entry[i].link[j].rel == "alternate") {
posturl = data.feed.entry[i].link[j].href;
break
}
}
var posttitle = data.feed.entry[i].title.$t;
var author = data.feed.entry[i].author[0].name.$t;
var get_date = data.feed.entry[i].published.$t,
year = get_date.substring(0, 4),
month = get_date.substring(5, 7),
day = get_date.substring(8, 10),
date = text_month[parseInt(month, 10)] + ' ' + day + ', ' + year;
var tag = data.feed.entry[i].category[0].term;
var content = data.feed.entry[i].content.$t;
var $content = $('<div>').html(content);
var src2 = data.feed.entry[i].media$thumbnail.url;
htmlcode += '<div class="mapapost"><div class="map-thumb"><div class="map-img"><a href="' + posturl + '" style="background:url(' + src2 + ') no-repeat center center;background-size: cover"/></div></div><h3 class="wrp-titulo"><a href="' + posturl + '">' + posttitle + '</a></h3><div class="map-meta"><span class="p-author">' + author + '</span><span class="p-date">' + date + '</span></div></div>'
}
htmlcode += '</div>';
mapLabel.replaceWith('<div class="mapasite"><h2>' + mapLabel_text + '<span class="botao"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle"></i></span></h2>' + htmlcode + '</div>');
$(document).on('click', '.mapasite h2', function() {
$(this).parent('.mapasite').addClass('active');
$(this).find('.botao .fa').removeClass('fa-plus-circle').addClass('fa-minus-circle');
});
$(document).on('click', '.mapasite.active h2', function() {
$(this).parent('.mapasite').removeClass('active');
$(this).find('.botao .fa').addClass('fa-plus-circle').removeClass('fa-minus-circle');
});
}
});
});
}
});
}
