Revision as of 08:50, 2 December 2011
It is possible to incorporate Google maps in pages. This section describes how to edit these maps within Energypedia.
How to set a marker for a new site?
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
How to insert a photo
1. Upload the file, EnDev Wiki (Uploads/Gallery)
1.1 disable rich editor
2. Copy the file name (e.g. File:GIZ Raabe Uganda traditional cooking.jpg)
3. Go to EnDev Countries
4. Click "Edit" above the map
5. Scroll down in the new window
6. Now insert the coordinate (e.g. 14.14309833, -16.09813639, NAME)
7. Insert following command in the next line :
8. Click safe and your new place will appear clickable on the map with the photo
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
|
How to use different coloured markers in a map?
Different coloured markers can be useful in numerous cases, for example, to distinguish between current and planned projects. The default marker colour is red. Other available colours are black, brown, green, purple, yellow, grey (note English spelling), orange and white.
| Description of procedure
|
|
Examples
|
|
Step 1
|
Convert your geographical coordinates into GoogleMaps compatibel coordinates following the description above or using one of the websites below:
|
|
If the coordinates of your project were, for example, 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E, the converted values would be 6.577778, 38.697306.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 2
|
Insert the converted coordinates into the "Wikitext" of the map followed by the name of the project plus the geographic coordinates.
|
|
|
|
|
 for current projects
|
|
Add 6.577778, 38.697306, name of the hydrosite 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E into the Wikitext
|
|
|
 for planned projects
|
|
Include (_grey) (or any other colour from the list above) infront of the line that you add.
For example, add (_grey) 6.577778, 38.697306, name of the planned project 6º34’40’’N 38º41’50.3’’ E into the Wikitext.
