Hi all,
i'm going to keep hunting around for a fix for this problem -- i have not
checked recent changelog entries to see if it is being addressed, but in the
meantime, can someone point me in the direction of a fix? or something about
sending stuff to the parser?
I read this part of the extensions FAQ
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_extensions_FAQ#Templates_with_exte…
but there's no solution offered up.....
Stumbled upon this when I whipped together a little extension for myself
only to find out it wouldn't work with the template I'm using it in
Thanks for any suggestions,

I am attempting to create a template in which all anyone needs to do
to put a Google Map on a page is use a template with 3 variables
(longitude, latitude, and description) using Evan Miller's Google Maps
extension (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Emiller/
GoogleMapsExtension).
The only problem is, Mediawiki won't read the variables if they're
inside the <googlemap></googlemap> extension tags.
You will have to modify the extension to feed the included text
through the wiki parser.
I am definitely no expert or even novice at
php...
This would seem to be beyond your scope, then. It sounds like an
interesting project, but I have no extra time to help you right now!
Perhaps someone else with an interest will want to craft a solution.
