MediaWiki extension that creates a binding link between WikiSearch and Maps.

When you have both a map and a search engine, this extension allows you to synchronize both.

This extension has been developped for Triple Performance. Click on this link to see it in action!

• MediaWiki 1.43 or later

1. Clone this repository to your MediaWiki extensions directory:

   cd extensions/
   git clone https://github.com/neayi/WikiSearchMapsLink.git

2. Add the following line to your LocalSettings.php:

   wfLoadExtension( 'WikiSearchMapsLink' );

3. Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

In order for the extension to work, you need to configure your map and your search engine:

Assuming the map loads places based on a semantic query, you just need to add the ajaxcoordproperty setting to your map so that the WikiSearchMapsLink knows which is the property that holds the GPS coordinates (in our case a property called Coordinates).

{{#ask: [[Has country::Greece]][[Coordinates::+]]
 | format=leaflet
 | ajaxcoordproperty = Coordinates
 | ?Coordinates
 | limit=1000
}}

Then you need to add the property in the configuration of WikiSearch - note that it is a good idea to have the base query of WikiSearch match the semantic query of your map:

{{#WikiSearchConfig:
| base query=[[Has country::Greece]]
...
| ?Coordinates
}}

Once this setup done, you should be able to perform searchs in WikiSearch and see your map being updated dynamically.
