Topic on Extension talk:Maps

Old extensions are disrupting Maps from loading parser extensions. I was adding a note of my problematic extension to help others that come here looking for help with similar problems.

Hello, i'm trying to do a interactive query with page form that display a map with only the subject selected by the visitor. I've written all the codes but in the runquery page the map doesn't load. The code:

• Template Mappa interattiva:

{{#compound_query:
 [[Category:Campione generico]]
 ; {{#if: {{{specie|}}} | [[Specie::{{{specie|}}}]] |   }}
 ; {{#if: {{{genere|}}} | [[Genere::{{{genere|}}}]] |   }}
 ; {{#if: {{{sottofamiglia|}}} | [[Sottofamiglia::{{{sottofamiglia|}}}]] |   }}
 ; {{#if: {{{famiglia|}}} | [[Famiglia::{{{famiglia|}}}]] |   }}
 ; ?Coordinate
 ; icon=Campione generico.png
 | format=leaflet
 | fullscreen=yes
 | cluster=yes
 | clusterspiderfy=yes
 | clusterzoomonclick=yes
 | zoom=5
 | layers=OpenTopoMap,OpenStreetMap
}}

• Form:

{{{standard input|run query|label=Cerca}}}
{{{info|query form at top}}}
{{{for template|Mappa interattiva}}}

{| class="formtable"
! Specie:
| {{{field|specie|input type=combobox|existing values only}}}
|-
! Genere:
| {{{field|genere|input type=combobox|existing values only}}}
|-
! Sottofamiglia:
| {{{field|sottofamiglia|input type=combobox|existing values only}}}
|-
! Famiglia:
| {{{field|famiglia|input type=combobox|existing values only}}}
|-
|}
{{{end template}}}

Are there some errors or is not possible to display maps in the special page runquery?

Chiming in to say I have the same problems. You are not alone. Even a plain #ask format=leaflet or googlemap, that works on normal pages will not work on a Run Query template.

Please make sure you are using Maps 7.20.1 or later. Let me know if the problem occurs on those versions as well.

I'm having the same issue after updating my wiki to MediaWiki 1.35.0, during the process I upgraded Semantic to 3.2.0 and Maps to 7.20.1. It stopped working when it had worked just fine previously. I did try using Semantic 3.1.0 instead, but with no luck.

Thanks for reporting. Is there a live example of this bug somewhere that I can have a look at?

Yes. Note that my wiki is not open-edit, but you can still see the source code. For some reason it won't let me share links.

The map that is supposed to show:

wiki. rlsh. net/wiki/RLSH_Map_Test

Then the template that is supposed to be able to pull the coords from the location is this one, it is used on all the pages that the map code looks through:

Template:InfoboxHero

I have never seen this before: even though Maps is listed as enabled on https://wiki.rlsh.net/wiki/Special:Version, the display_map parser function is not registered. You can see it does not show at the bottom of the Version page. It does on https://maps.extension.wiki/wiki/Special:Version. My guess is that you have some other extension that is messing things up.

Very strange. I'll try turning off extensions to see if I could fix it that way and report back. Thank you for the very helpful clue!

Alright, so I commented out this line:

require_once "$IP/extensions/DynamicPageList/DynamicPageList.php";

It was Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party) that I was using, but I don't recall for what exact purpose.

It didn't start working again immediately, but I waited a bit and it's back up! Thank you so much.

Chiming in again to say I had a similar problem of an old extension loaded with the "require_once" was interrupting parser extensions from being loaded. Specifically Maps parser extensions. My culprit was Extension:SimpleTable. It has been fixed by someone and posted at: https://github.com/jrbray1/SimpleTable.
