Excellent job, Tim! Thanks for taking car of the openSUSE map. Regards, R. On Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 10:41 PM, Tim Mohlmann <muhlemmer@gmail.com> wrote:
Hell it works!!!! Thanks for the tip. Never expected it would :p. Again something learned. I was actually quite hard headed in my self invented solution, but it works!.
Still some dirt to be cleaned up, but that will come. It gives some errors on coordinates. Now to busy.
gr, Tim

Henne,
On irc you requested me to implement the maps extension on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map.
What I did: I edit and checked the list on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map/Coordinates to make it usable for the extension. (removing spaces, <br> and other bad things.) Enforced a <noinclude> for the top part off the article.
Edit Template:map_user to meet the extension's syntax as stated on http://mapping.referata.com/wiki/Help:Marker_data (#display_points:Address1~Title1~Label1~Icon1; address2~Title2~Label2~Icon2) etc. Address can be an existing address (eg Berlin, Germany) or decimal coördinates, seperated by comma. The latter is used in the list. So the template now looks like this: {{{1}}}, {{{2}}}~{{{3}}}~{{{4}}}, {{{5}}}; (including space behind ";") for: Code: {{Map user|<Latitude>|<Longitude>|<Label>|<Description>|<URL>}}
So next step was, since I enforced <noinclude> in the non-list part of http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map/Coordinates, to remove the old map from http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Map and add the line: {{#display_points:{{openSUSE:Map/Coordinates}}}}. This takes the complete list, generated by above template, in a correct systax. However, when I push preview (thank god I didn't safe) I get a fatal server error (500) from novell. Is it just to much to handle? Or am I missing something. I don't know how this kicks in on server recources, there are 314 user's locations to be processed on the fly, each having 3 syntax for the actual #display_points command. This means about 950 options for 1 command.
Or I'm doing something wrong here, or it's just not capable of doing the job.
Great work! By default we use openstreetmap which seems not to be able to do #display_points. You can use {{#display_points:{{openSUSE:Map/Coordinates}}|service=openlayers}} or google maps once we installed our google api key.
