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.
