As some of you might know, we are running a quite complex project with http://www.housetrails.org that makes use of Semantic Mediawiki and map integration.
Unforunately, updating the Mediawiki, Semantic Mediawiki and its plugins has become very frustrating recently, since every update brought some new problems and feature loss. For me as maintainer of the project and also the people who help me with maintaining the system, it is often difficult to figure out where the problems exactly are coming from, and where to address these issues.
Just a short overview:
- Edit button for Semantic Forms was missing. The reason seems to be that Mediawiki does not update categories immediately anymore, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Ta3n8f4l49wuqe9s Since we are using different forms for different categories the result is that we are having problems here, and needed to install a suboptimal workaround. I don't know where this change took place and where to open this issue, but it worked fine before updating to MW 1.27.
- Wrong page in print version: When clicking on "print page", the link shows a different page than the one that currently is displayed. No idea where that comes from, maybe a problem with the template?
- Coordinate input via Google Map is broken in Semantic Forms/Page Forms: This usecase always had different issues and flaws in the recent versions of Maps and Semantic Forms. With Page Forms it doesn't work at all.
- No KML support: KML support (e.g. display of trails) suddenly was lost when updating maps.
- Confirm Account plugin failed to work with MW 1.27. Here we found some replacement that is not as good, but will do the job.
However, I'm clueless how to get out of this update chaos. Maybe giving access to our test system might help developers to test some use cases that obviously haven't been tested recently. Or any other ideas how i could help there?
Hi Martin,
What are the issues you saw, or are seeing now, with the "googlemaps" form input? If the map is not loading, it may help to look at the JavaScript console in the browser, if you know how to do that.

Hey,
- No KML support:
KML support (e.g. display of trails) suddenly was lost when updating maps.
I think this has already been reported at https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Maps/issues/259 and welcome contributions that pinpoint or even fix the issue.
Cheers

Hmm, that sounds like an interesting bug. Do you have an example of the incorrect printable version happening that you could link me to?

When I tried to send you the link, I figured out that it was suddenly working again from this monday, while it failt sometimes during the last weeks.
The funny thing is that we didn't change anything (but creating a cronjob for the runjobs.php). So I don't have any clue why this comes and goes. I it happens again, I'll send you a link.
