This describes how to edit Google Maps within Energypedia.
1. Go to “my preferences”, click editing, an tick “disable rich editor”
3. Click edit, then the symbol with the tiny map at the far left
4a. Enter the name of the sought place, click “search”, then “add to map”
4b. Find your sought place directly on the map and simply click it. Fill in the boxes if desired and “click safe&close”
5. Copy the text from the very bottom of the grey box below and paste it into the white box at the bottom (above </googlemap>)
6. Click safe
7. The new place now appears on the map
Other ways to find places:
Or here:
2. Right click on the desired place
3. Click what is here
4. Click the green arrow and copy the coordinates, e.g. 1.046904, 34.198036
5. Go to energypedia´s map site
6. Copy the coordinates directly into the white wiki box
7. Click safe and your new place will appear clickable on the map
Problems that may occur and how they can be solved:
| Coordinates won`t work, place cannot be found
|
Retype all special characters (they may be wrong)
|
| Place not found
|
Go to google maps and mark the place there directly (right click, what is here). Copy and paste the provided coordinates
|
| When clicking the maps symbol, nothing happens
|
click again, and again, ... it should work after three times at the latest
