Using the Google map widget

[Jacqui]

Salut Karima,

I have been trying to follow the example on the LinkedWiki extension page to display results using the Google map widget.

I have the widgets extension working and I can display a map using Google Maps.  I have the LinkedWiki extension and I
can display results in a table.

I have tried the following to display results in a map

{{#wsparql: Google Maps
|query=
select ?lat ?lng
where {?s a <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/OlympicSwimmersOfGreatBritain> .
?s <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> ?Name .
?s <http://dbpedia.org/property/placeOfBirth> ?PlaceOfBirth .
?PlaceOfBirth geo:lat ?lat .
?PlaceOfBirth geo:long ?lng .
}
limit 1
|endpoint = http://dbpedia.org/sparql
|cache = NO
|debug = YES
|defaultcolor=blue
|zoom=5
|size=512x512
|static=yes
|maptype=roadmap}}

It does not get the latitude and longitude so the map is centered on 0,0.

I tried looking at the result from the parser and I get

{{#widget:Google Maps
|endpoint = http://dbpedia.org/sparql 
| defaultcolor=blue 
| zoom=5 
| size=512x512 
| static=yes 
| maptype=roadmap
|rows.0.lat=51.5 
| rows.0.lng=-0.116667}}

and I can see that the problem is that the coordinates need to be called just lat 
and lng not rows.0.lat and rows.0.lng.

There is a comment on your page about the widget needing to be able to handle 
parameters in that form and I notice in your example that the name of the map widget 
that you are using is Google_Static_Maps.  The only Google map widget I have found
is called Google maps.

So my question is should I be using a different widget, and if so where do I get it
from?

Regards
Jacqui

Hi,

I developed the Widget:Google_Static_Maps but mediawikiwidgets.org
deleted my widget :(
However It's still there : https://0x20.be/Widget:Google_Static_Maps

On my wiki : I upgraded the first version in function of context :

Hi Karima,

Thanks for the reply, I understand now.

I have it working using your widget but I can't send you a link as I am just doing an
internal demo at the moment.  We have been looking at getting MediaWiki, SemanticMediaWiki
and LinkedWiki working with OpenLink Virtuoso.

Thanks again
Jacqui
