A few notes on the Google maps key: Laurent - do you have the key setting after the inclusion of the Maps extension? If it comes beforehand, it won't work.
Sergey - the decision was made to use $eg, since that's the correct convention for setting global variables in extensions (though it hasn't been followed in any SMW-related extensions until now): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions#Extension_Functions_and_Variables It's true that $wgGoogleMapsKey is used in other extensions; Google Maps and SRF (the Exhibit format) are the two that I know about (SGM and Google Geocoder use it too, but the plan is for both of those to go away at some point soon). Keeping it at $wg just for compatibility would be strange, though, given that Maps also uses an $egYahooMapsKey, etc. The documentation should probably at least be clearer, though, about the usage of the two variables. -Yaron On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Sergey Chernyshev < sergey.chernys...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah, it's not a good idea to rename $wgGoogleMapsKey - it's sort-of > generic variable for all MediaWiki extensions that use Google Map > services. > > Thank you, > > Sergey > > > -- > Sergey Chernyshev > http://www.sergeychernyshev.com/ > > > On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 2:15 PM, Laurent Alquier <laur...@alquier.org>wrote: > >> Last email for today >> >> I thought I would give it a shot and install both Maps and Semantic Maps. >> >> Unfortunately, it did not go as smoothly as I thought: >> >> 1- If I replace $wgGoogleMapsKey by $egGoogleMapsKey in my >> LocalSettings.php file, SRF Exhibit stops displaying Maps. >> 2- If I keep both GoogleMapKeys variables, Maps throws an error - telling >> me my Google API key is not valid. >> Getting a dedicated API key for $egGoogleMapsKey doesn't work. >> >> I will investigate that again later this week, probably Friday.
