Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Google Maps plugin for Wordpress

An easy way to use it, if you have a wiki template like GeoGroup [1]: 1) Click on link "Map of all coordinates from Google" provided by the template in a list [2] or a category [3] 2) Click on "link" button in Google Maps 3) Customize embedded map 3) Copy & paste HTML to embed in website This way we have made, for example, the page http://www.wikilovesmonuments.cat/andorra/ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:GeoGroup [2] Example: https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llista_de_monuments_d%27Andorra [3] Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:World_Heritage_Sites_in_Canada Vicenç From: lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2012 00:37:14 +0200 To: wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Google Maps plugin for Wordpress Hi Jan, if it exists, it would probably help to simply add a piece of description on how to make this magic happen on the documentation page :) It is indeed always a combination of programming and documentation. I've seen several solutions over the years, and many times it broke halfway, so lets make sure there is one *good* solution well documented that will most likely survive the coming months :) Best,Lodewijk 2012/8/25 Jan Ainali &lt;jan.ainali(a)wikimedia.se&gt; We use it since last year, on this page: http://wikilovesmonuments.se/delta-i-tavlingen/hitta-monument/ I cannot really see the need to make it as a plugin since it works great anyway. -- Med vänliga hälsningar, Jan Ainali Ordförande, Wikimedia Sverige 076-2122776 2012/8/25 Tomasz W. Kozłowski &lt;odder.wiki(a)gmail.com&gt; Hello all, it has come to my attention (although I cannot find a mailing list thread about it /yet/) that it was suggested that we should have a Google Maps plugin for Wordpress displaying maps for a certain region (a country/province/county/even municipality), with data being loaded from our erfgoed database. This being said, I have to admit that I am no good programmer, so I'd like to point you to an existing example of such a solution, which was developed last year by Nuno Tavares for use in the 2011 WLM in Portugal -- see <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/monumentos.php>. frame (<iframe />) with the help of a PHP script; but taking all the technical details aside, this is a great tool with a wonderful potential to be used on the national sites of the participating countries. So, my question here is: have you heard of such a plugin (it's always safe to ask, I presume :-)? If it doesn't exist yet, is there a volunteer here who might be willing to spend some time developing it? (I have no idea how hard it might be to create it.) What do you think about such a tool -- would you, as a national WLM organiser, use it on your website? Please let me know!
