Thanks Yaron
Moving the variable declaration after the 'require_once' calls worked. I would
not have thought of that since declaring $wgGoogleMapsKey before calling
semantic google maps used to work :)
Another observation in terms of backward compatibility :
One of my template is using queries such as :
{{#semantic_google_map:40.024707° N, 75.509739°
W|10|G_HYBRID_MAP|GSmallMapControl|pmap|200|200}}
These queries appear now in plain text. I suspect I have to replace them with a
{{#ask: query with the right parameters.
Did the statement about not having to change anything else than the
LocalSettings.php miss that ?
On the other hand, the Form version of the call to GoogleMap is indeed working
without any change.

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.

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,

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. Maybe it is
something I missed in the installation.

That was fast :)
Regarding the error I reported with IE6.
I am getting that error on this page : http://wiki.bn2vs.com/wiki/Maps
Both the Google Map demo page and the Yahoo Maps demo page are working fine in
IE6.
The Open Layers demo page is also throwing an error - however, I can visit the
OpenLayer website and view examples there with IE6 without error.
Maybe that will help troubleshooting the error.

Yeh, Jeroen created it and replied to me privately already ;) I'll try it when
I have spare time.

Hi Sergey
I believe your answer is already available on the Extension:Semantic Maps page :
Upgrading from Semantic Google Maps
If you have Semantic Google Maps installed, and want to upgrade to Semantic
Maps, these are the steps you need to follow:
Remove the SemanticGoogleMaps directory from your extension directory.Remove
(when you use it) Google Geocoder in a similar fashion.Upload both Maps and
Semantic Maps to your extension directory.
Make sure your API key's are in the right place
After doing all these steps, you should be done. Maps and Semantic
Maps are designed to be backward compatible with SGM, so all SGM code should
work on Semantic Maps. If you encounter some problem though, please let the
extension developers know.

Great job, Jeroen!
How do I go about upgrading from Semantic Google Maps? My TechPresentations.org
uses it a little bit.
Thank you,

Hey,
First of all, let me introduce myself.
I'm
Jeroen De Dauw, one of the GSoC students for Wikimedia foundation this
year. During the last 2 months I've been working on 2 new mapping
extensions for MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki [0] with Yaron Koren [1] as
mentor. You can read more about this at my blog [2].
The first version of both extensions has just been released. These are the
extensions:
Maps
Maps
[3] is an extension that provides the ability to display coordinate
data, using multiple mapping services, including Google Maps [4],
OpenLayers [5] and Yahoo Maps [6], and allows users to geocode addresses.
Semantic Maps
Semantic Maps
[7] is an extension that adds semantic capabilities to the Maps
extension, and therefore provides the ability to add, view and edit
coordinate data stored through the Semantic MediaWiki extension, using
multiple mapping services. These include Google Maps, OpenLayers and
Yahoo Maps. Semantic Maps and Maps are based on Semantic Google Maps
and Semantic Layers, and are meant to replace these extensions. For
this extension to work, you need to have both Semantic MediaWiki and
Maps installed.
You can download both extensions via
their documentation pages. Suggestions and feature requests are welcome.
