UserMap Documentation

This is a documentation of how to display a map of your location or a map of all to the data base added users locations in the osgeo wiki.

Add yourself to the userMap

Every user adds himself to the userMap by placing a parser tag 'umSetParam' on his userpage (User:username). The tag has the following syntax:

{{#umSetParam: lon|lat|location name|username|real name}}

The coordinates are in decimal degree. If the User doesn't exist, or the params are changed and the tag is places on the users userpage, the data base will be updated. For example (on the wiki page: User:Christian_Willmes):

{{#umSetParam: 6.92|50.95|Cologne, Germany|Christian Willmes|Christian Willmes}}

display a map of a users home location

To display a map of the home location of a user include the following tag into a wikipage:

{{#umUserMap: username|width|height|zoom}}

The 'width' and 'height' parameters are optional. If not providet standart values of 'width=400px', 'height=250px' and 'zoom=4' are applied.
For example:

{{#umUserMap: Christian Willmes}}

{{#umUserMap: Christian Willmes}}

display a map of all users home locations

To display a map of all wiki users include the following tag:

{{#umAllUserMap: width|height|zoom}}

The parameters are optional. If no paramters are providet, standart values are providet (width=800px, height=450px, zoom=2).
For example:

{{#umAllUserMap:}}

{{#umAllUserMap:}}
