!!Mod Gmap
This is a ((Wiki plugin)), distributed as a ((mod)) for displaying a ((Gmap)) in a wiki page, where each page represents a marker on a global map. The mod creates a geo-coded location of a wiki page, backlinked pages, or pages in a structure. It is currently available only as a ((mod)), which means you have to upload the files to replace the current gmap plugin.

__Notes:__ 
* To use this plugin, you should set the cache time for wiki pages = 0 (no caching), otherwise you may have dificulties editing geolocations (or seeing the edits you have made anyway). Set the wiki cache in Admin>Wiki
*Having multiple google maps on the same page is not recommended as it can cause unpredictable results.

!!! Using this Plugin


__Type=Page__
The default syntax (above), when saved in a wiki page will produce the following map. 

{img src="img/wiki_up/2007-08-08_113812.png" }

__At this point you can:__
*click on the + sign to open the location editor.
*type in an address and "GO" to that address.
*single click on the map directly to create a point on the current map. 

__Using the Location Editor__

{img src="img/wiki_up/2007-08-08_114917.png" }
Once you have created a point on the map, you can edit the information that appears in the balloon. The latitude and longitude information is normally not editable. You change the location by clicking on the map or by searching to a new address.

This pluging may be added via the mods admin panel at yourdomain.com/tiki-mods.php
These steps below should be taken care off through the mods deployment process. Otherwise the manual steps required are:

1. This file is to be deployed to <tikiroot>/lib/wiki-plugins/

2. Included gmapwikipluginlib.php should be deployed to <tikiroot>/lib/wiki-plugins/

3. Included gmap_wikiplugin_save.php should be deployed to <tikiroot>/

5. The following SQL command is to be executed to create the necessary database table:

CREATE TABLE `wikiplugin_gmap` (
	`pageid` int(14) NOT NULL,
	`pref` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
	`value` varchar(250) default NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY  (`pageid`,`pref`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

6. In order for route type to work and for the google maps polylines to work, the VML namespace
must be specified in the html tag in <tikiroot>/templates/header.tpl, like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">


7. When using the plugin, click on the "+" icon next to the text at the top to access the geocoding information.
