This is awesome! Although, I'm having some trouble. I've done the change to LocalSettings.php, and added GoogleMaps.php to the extensions folder. However, when I add the changes to Skin.php, I get this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/content/t/h/e/thesteeps/html/singletrackwiki/includes/Skin.php on line 1348
Here is what that section in Skin.php used to look like before my changes:
function getHeadScripts() { global $wgStylePath, $wgUser, $wgContLang, $wgAllowUserJs, $wgJsMimeType; $r = "<script type="{$wgJsMimeType}" src="{$wgStylePath}/common/wikibits.js"></script>\n"; if( $wgAllowUserJs && $wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) { $userpage = $wgUser->getUserPage(); $userjs = htmlspecialchars( $this->makeUrl( $userpage->getPrefixedText().'/'.$this->getSkinName().'.js', 'action=raw&ctype='.$wgJsMimeType)); $r .= '<script type="'.$wgJsMimeType.'" src="'.$userjs.""></script>\n"; } return $r; }
and here is what it looks like after my changes:
function getHeadScripts() { global $wgStylePath, $wgUser, $wgContLang, $wgAllowUserJs, $wgJsMimeType, $wgScriptPath, $wgRequest, $wgGoogleMapsKey; $r = "<script type="{$wgJsMimeType}" src="{$wgStylePath}/common/wikibits.js"></script>\n"; if( $wgAllowUserJs && $wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) { $userpage = $wgUser->getUserPage(); $userjs = htmlspecialchars( $this->makeUrl( $userpage->getPrefixedText().'/'.$this->getSkinName().'.js', 'action=raw&ctype='.$wgJsMimeType)); $r .= '<script type="'.$wgJsMimeType.'" src="'.$userjs.""></script>\n"; if (preg_match("/index.php//", $wgRequest->getRequestURL())) { $r .= "<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=%7B$wgGoogleMapsKey%7D%..." type="$wgJsMimeType"></script>\n"; } return $r; }
Am I doing something wrong?

Hello,
Google offers an open API for displaying custom information on their highly usable map application. This API seems suitable for wikis, which is why there are already three MediaWiki extensions for Google Maps. But these extensions seemed a bit too rigid for me, needing database modifications and RSS feeds and the like just to display markers. So I wrote a simple Google Maps extension: to create a map with many labeled markers, you just describe one marker per line with the format "latitude,longitude,label", and put all of these markers inside of a <googlemap> tag. A neat feature is that the marker labels will render wiki formatting. Because of its flexibility, I think this extension will prove useful in a wide variety of projects; I encourage you to try it out and send me feedback.
