Where is the code? The download location isn't mentioned. --Ryan lane 03:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Found it in the announcement email; added it to the page. --Ryan lane 03:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I do now see the documentation says not released. Heh. Oh well, too late ;).

Ok. Removed again. --Ryan lane 03:23, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Multiple markers
Is it possible to show more than one display_point on a map without using the query functions of Semantic Maps? I see a display_points function is in the New Proposals section.

In an attempt to get multiple markers on a map, I installed Semantic Forms, but in trying example code with queries, I get no output on the wiki (and the wiki debug output doesn't show anything obvious). Perhaps I have the precedence wrong in LocalSettings.php, in which case here is the relevant snippet of that file:

# for SemanticMediaWiki include_once("$IP/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php"); enableSemantics('tig.colorist.org'); # according to the Extension:Semantic Forms page, it goes here: include_once('extensions/SemanticForms/includes/SF_Settings.php'); require_once( "$IP/extensions/Maps/Maps.php" ); # Semantic Maps require_once( "$IP/extensions/SemanticMaps/SemanticMaps.php" );

Thank you for this extension, it will replace both GoogleMaps and the googlemap WikiWidget that I've been using.

It is currently not possible to have multiple points on one map in Maps (hence the proposal for those new parser functions). For Semantic Maps to show up multiple queried coordinates onto one map, you do not need to have Semantic Forms. SF will simply make it considerably easier to insert coordinates, but is in no way required.

Both the multiple point parser functions and custom base layers for OpenLayers are apparently in high demand, and since the former should be available before the later, this will move up on my to-do list (possible for the 0.3 releases).

To solve your problem of no markers getting displayed on your map, I suggest you post your ask query here, which is probably the source of your problem.

Thank you for the prompt reply. The ask query is copied from the Semantic Maps examples page:
