Topic on Extension talk:Maps

Using: MediaWiki 1.24.1
PHP 5.4.16
SemanticMaps 3.1.3
Maps 3.2.2

Custom icons are not displayed here using the following:-

{{
#display_points:
{{coords}}
|height=768
|service=openlayers
|layers=osm-mapnik,osm-cyclemap,bing,google
|controls=panzoombar,scaleline,overviewmap,keyboarddefaults,navigation,layerswitcher,mouseposition
}}

Where template:coords contain coodinates in the form:

51.760546, -3.572933 
~'''[[Dinas Main Crag]]'''
~51.760546, -3.572933
~File:Blue.png;

51.760034, -3.574529 
~'''[[Kennelgarth Wall]]'''
~51.760034, -3.574529 
~File:Bouldering.png;

51.759673, -3.577498
~'''[[Dinas - Main Slab]]'''
~51.759673, -3.577498
~File:Orange.png;

etc....

This works fine on Maps 2.01

Is there a way around this? Have I forgotten something?

Thanks for any help.

This is a known issue. https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Maps/issues/51

Unfortunately I do not currently have the time to dig into this.

Thanks for responding.

Hi, after reading this thread, it seems it had been fixed around 2018, but presently I still have this issue. Am I alone in this case ? As soon as I put a "Green marker.png" the markers won't show up. Even if I do upload a file with this name on the wiki (cause I don't know where the default avaialable icons are stored).

Working fine in recent versions of Maps. Example: https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Maps/Displaying_maps#Markers

If you are using an older version you might need to put "File:Green marker.png". An insane amount of issues have been fixed since 3.x, so upgrading is highly recommended.

I'm using Mediawiki 1.34, Maps 7.15.5, and I tried every different syntax possible (Green marker, Green marker.png, File:Green marker, File:Green marker.png...). Still, no marker is displayed.

It was because the extension only looks for images stored locally and ignores settings defining shared repository for images (which is my case). See here for a fix.
