The documentation that I've found online hasn't been very clear on how to add the Google maps to MediaWiki. I've signed up for a key and edited my Localsettings.php file to reflect that, but how do you get the code to insert on one of the Wiki pages? And how do you get it to work? I copied some code that I found on someone else's Wiki and inserted it into one of mine, but no map shows up -- just the actual googlemap code.
Help!

Is my problem that I am using v1.5.8, perhaps?

Hi Sandy,
You need to also install an extension such as http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Maps . I am using that extension for pages such as http://www.appropedia.org/Arcata_marsh .
Good luck, Lonny

Thanks Lonny. Apparently, I had installed everything correctly but the googlemaps extension has a little quirk (or is it Mediawiki's quirk? Dunno) that requires you to save the page again to get it to display the map OR add a small bit of text at the end of the URL (I think it was ?action=purge) . Once I did the purge bit, the map magically appeared!
I think I still need to upgrade to be able to take advantage of the built in map edit feature, so that's next on my agenda.
