Simply add the following on a wiki page to create a default map:
 +

== Tag Attributes ==
 
  
−
This extension defines a <nowiki><googlemap></nowiki> tag. Legal attributes are:
+
== Markers ==
 +
 
 +
In the content of the tag, you can define one marker per line. Each line may or may not start with an icon name in parentheses.  The line should then have the latitude (x), then a comma, optionally a space, then the longitude (y), then a comma, then a label for the point. The label can include wiki mark-up (and commas).
  
−
* <code>width</code> of the map (in pixels; defaults to 450)
 
−
* <code>height</code> of the map (in pixels; defaults to 300)
 
−
* <code>lat</code> (the center latitude on the map, defaults to my old dorm room :-)
 
−
* <code>lon</code> (the center longitude on the map)
 
−
* <code>zoom</code> (the zoom level; 0 is the furthest away, 17 is the closest in, maximum for game maps is 6)
 
−
* <code>type</code> (legal values are ''game'' (for atitd map T5A shard), ''gameb'' (for atitd map T4B shard), ''normal'' (or, equivalently, ''map''), ''terrain'' ('''new in 0.9.0'''), ''hybrid'', and ''satellite''; defaults to ''game'')
 
−
* '''Note: Only one type of map be used on a page.  You can not have both the original shard and Bastet shard maps on the same page.'''
 
−
* <code>controls</code> (''small'' creates +/- zoom buttons, ''medium'' has zoom buttons and pan buttons, ''large'' has pan buttons with a sliding scale for zoom, and ''none'' has no buttons)
 
−
* <code>selector</code> (show the map/hybrid/satellite selector? Legal values are ''yes'' and ''no'' (default).)
 
−
* <code>scale</code> (show the distance scale? Legal values are ''yes'' and ''no'' (default).)
 
−
* <code>overview</code> (show the inset navigation map? Legal values are ''yes'' and ''no'' (default).)
 
−
* <code>icons</code> (URL template for custom markers, with "{label}" where the name of the icon will be inserted; defaults to "<nowiki>http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/marker{label}.png</nowiki>")
 
−
* <code>icon</code> (URL for markers without an icon specified; defaults to http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/marker.png)
 
−
* <code>doubleclick</code> (what to do when the user double-clicks? legal values are ''recenter'' (default) and ''zoom'')
 
−
* <code>zoomstyle</code> (legal values are ''fast'' and ''smooth'' (default), also known as continuous zooming; only works in some browsers)
 
−
* <code>stroke</code> (width of paths, in pixels)
 
−
* <code>scrollwheel</code> (define scroll wheel behavior; ''nothing'' or ''zoom'' (default))
 
  
−
All attributes are optional.
+
A list of markers is available on [[User:Mayanah/map|Mayanahs map page.]]
 +
ATITD.org now hosts local copies of most of the icons Mayanah graciously provided.  These are used by default if the ''icons'' tag is not provided; the icons follow the same naming convention as Mayanahs page.  Click here to show all locally hosted markers: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale5/images/markers or visit [[Rogarian/GoogleMapMarkerTest]] which shows all 1461 locally stored pins ('''Warning: will be VERY slow!''').
  
−
== A note about icons ==
 
  
−
You can host your own collection of icons on your server, but note that they'll have the same anchor points as Google's default icon. Check out [http://mapki.com/wiki/Icon_Image_Sets Mapki's collection of icon images] for a bunch of icons you can use. To use your icons, add an icon attribute to your googlemap-tags like this
 
  
−
<nowiki><googlemap lat="42.711618" lon="-73.205112" zoom="2" controls="small"
+
'''Marker Usage Example:'''

[[User:Mayanah|Mayanah]] has some instructions for using an alternate set of icons [[User:Mayanah/map|here]] and a set of [[User:Mayanah/map#Mine_Specific|Mine Specific]] icons on the same page.

In the content of the tag, you can define one marker per line. Each line may or may not start with an icon name in parentheses; unless you set the "icons" attribute, legal icon names are the upper-case letters of the alphabet. The line should then have the latitude, then a comma, optionally a space, then the longitude, then a comma, then a label for the point. The label can include wiki mark-up (and commas). These are all legal:
+
=== Some standardized icon suggestions ===
  
−
<nowiki><googlemap lat="42.711618" lon="-73.205112" zoom="2" controls="small">
+
==== Mines ====
−
42.711618,-73.205112,here goes the title
+
For mining, you can use the chemical symbols for better international recognition:
−
42.711618, -73.205112, here goes the title, it can contains commas too but not wiki markup
+
{{:Maps/Public Mines/Legend}}
−
(S) 42.711618, -73.205112, here goes the title
+
To use these in a Google Map data point, open the source for [[Maps/Public Mines/Legend]], and use the text between 'marker' and '.png' for the icon name. (For example, the icon name for the aluminum symbol in the mining legend is '''MtAl'''.)
−
first line of the caption
 
−
Second line of the caption, not that the caption can contain wiki markup like [[Resources]]
 
−
</googlemap></nowiki>
 
  
−
== Paths ==
+
== Tabbed Info Balloons ==
  
−
To connect multiple points with a colored path, prefix them with a line that begins with the color in RGB hex format., e.g.
+
Each tab should have a plain-text title surrounded by inward-leaning slashes (like /this\) followed by a caption that can include wiki mark-up. Tabs will be attached to the previous marker. Example:
  
 
  <nowiki>
 
  <nowiki>
−
6#FF330000
+
<googlemap zoom="2" height="512" lon="0" controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes" scrollwheel="nothing">
−
42.711618,-73.205112
+
(pyramid) 900,100
−
42.714779,-73.204544
+
/Info\
−
</nowiki>
+
This is where a pharaoh is buried! ;) (Not really)
 +
/Directions\
 +
[http://maps.google.com Click here] to get driving directions
 +
Or just drive in a random direction
 +
</googlemap></nowiki>
 +
 
 +
That will create a point whose info balloon has two tabs. Note that you can put as much or as little space as you'd like between the title and the caption to make the syntax more readable.
 +
 
 +
If a point has a regular caption ''and'' tabbed captions, clicking the point will only show the tabbed captions.
 +
 
 +

−
That will connect the two points with a colored line. Any points not on a line should appear before all points on lines. For example:
 
  
−
42.711618, -73.25112, this point is not on a line
+
== Map Customization / Tag Attributes ==
−
43.224024, -70.28301, neither is this one
 
−
6#FF770077
 
−
42.202452, -72.83101, this is on a line of color #77077
 
−
45.214425, -72.48114, so is this
 
−
6#FF668800
 
−
42.201324, -70.95811, this starts a second line
 
−
43.404142, -73.44514, this is also on the second line
 
−
 
−
Any text on the same line as, but appearing after, the color specification will be ignored.
 
  
−
== Areas ==
+
To customize the map you can set various tags (attributes).
 +
Legal attributes are ('''boldface''' items are defaults):
  
−
Areas are enclosed paths with a colored filling. The syntax is just like a path, except that the interior color should be specified in parentheses after the path color, like this:

Google Maps

This wiki runs a modified version of the Google Maps extension for MediaWiki. The <googlemap> tag allows wiki users to create zoom-able, pan-able maps of Egypt with customized markers.

Simply add the following on a wiki page to create a default map: 

<googlemap>
</googlemap>

This will generate a map like:


Markers

In the content of the tag, you can define one marker per line. Each line may or may not start with an icon name in parentheses. The line should then have the latitude (x), then a comma, optionally a space, then the longitude (y), then a comma, then a label for the point. The label can include wiki mark-up (and commas).


A list of markers is available on Mayanahs map page. ATITD.org now hosts local copies of most of the icons Mayanah graciously provided. These are used by default if the icons tag is not provided; the icons follow the same naming convention as Mayanahs page. Click here to show all locally hosted markers: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale5/images/markers or visit Rogarian/GoogleMapMarkerTest which shows all 1461 locally stored pins (Warning: will be VERY slow!).


Marker Usage Example: 

<googlemap zoom="2" height="512" lon="0" controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes" scrollwheel="nothing">
(GH) 700,600,here goes the title
400, 400, here goes the title, it can contain commas but not wiki markup
(S) 100, 100, here goes the title
first line of the caption
Second line of the caption, not that the caption can contain wiki markup like [[Resources]]

</googlemap>


Some standardized icon suggestions

Mines

For mining, you can use the chemical symbols for better international recognition:


markerMtAl.png Aluminum markerMtSb.png Antimony markerMtCu.png Copper markerMtAu.png Gold markerMtFe.png Iron markerdiamond.png Gem (sand) mine
markerMtPb.png Lead markerMtLi.png Lithium markerMtMg.png Magnesium markerMtPt.png Platinum markerMtAg.png Silver
markerMtSr.png Strontium markerMtSn.png Tin markerMtTi.png Titanium markerMtW.png Tungsten markerMtZn.png Zinc

To use these in a Google Map data point, open the source for Maps/Public Mines/Legend, and use the text between 'marker' and '.png' for the icon name. (For example, the icon name for the aluminum symbol in the mining legend is MtAl.)

Tabbed Info Balloons

Each tab should have a plain-text title surrounded by inward-leaning slashes (like /this\) followed by a caption that can include wiki mark-up. Tabs will be attached to the previous marker. Example: 

<googlemap zoom="2" height="512" lon="0" controls="small" showposition="yes" showregion="yes" scrollwheel="nothing">
(pyramid) 900,100
/Info\
This is where a pharaoh is buried! ;) (Not really)
/Directions\
[http://maps.google.com Click here] to get driving directions
Or just drive in a random direction
</googlemap>

That will create a point whose info balloon has two tabs. Note that you can put as much or as little space as you'd like between the title and the caption to make the syntax more readable.

If a point has a regular caption and tabbed captions, clicking the point will only show the tabbed captions.

lat The center latitude (x) on the map. Defaults to 1024.
lon The center longitude (y) on the map. Defaults to 0.
zoom Default zoom level. Game Map Legal values: 1 to 8 (2 is default, only the T5 map contains data on levels 7 and 8).
type The type of map to display. Game Maps: game - Shard A, gameb - Shard B

Normal Google Maps: normal (or, equivalently, map) - Normal Google Map, terrain, hybrid, and satellite.

controls Zoom and navigation controls. Legal values: small creates +/- zoom buttons, medium has zoom buttons and pan buttons, large has pan buttons with a sliding scale for zoom, and none has no buttons.
showposition Show x,y coords under the mouse? Legal values: yes and no.
showregion Show the region name under of the mouse? Legal values: yes and no. Requires showpositions=yes; does not work in Tale 1, Tale 2 or Tale 3 maps.
icons URL template for custom markers. Use "{label}" where the name of the icon will be inserted; defaults to "/wiki/tale5/images/markers/marker{label}.png".
icon URL for markers without an icon specified. Defaults to "/wiki/tale5/images/markers/marker.png" marker.png
iconsize Height and width of the icons Defaults to: 32x32
doubleclick What to do when the user double-clicks? Legal values: recenter or zoom.
scrollwheel Define how the scroll wheel behaves. Legal values: nothing or zoom.
zoomstyle How does the map zoom? Legal values: fast and smooth, also known as continuous zooming (only works in some browsers).

overview Show the inset navigation map? Legal values are yes and no.
selector Show the map/hybrid/satellite selector Legal values are yes and no.


All attributes are optional.


Customized Icons

You can host your own collection of icons on your server, but note that they'll have the same anchor points as ATITD.org's default icon (32x32). Check out Mapki's collection of icon images for a bunch of icons you can use. To use your icons, add an icon attribute to your googlemap-tags like this 

<googlemap lat="42.711618" lon="-73.205112" zoom="2" controls="small" 
 icon="http://myserver.com/standardmarker.png" 
 icons="http://myserver.com/markers/marker{label}.png">

Mayanah has some instructions for using an alternate set of icons map here and a set of Mine Specific icons and Quarry Specificon the same page.
