I’ve created a new Maps screencast that covers the use of the display_point parser function of Maps as it works in version 0.5. I’m assuming you have seen the display_map screencast before you watch this one, although the basic syntax is covered again quickly.

I’ve also made the projects for both screencast publicly available. If you have wink, the application I used to create the screencasts, installed, you can simply modify the projects, add your own stuff, and render your own version. I’m hoping some fans of Maps use this possibility to improve the screencasts and help their fellow Maps users.

• Download display_map screencast project (~10MiB)

Yesterday I made my first screencast ever. [ Check it out! ] It explains how you can display a map using the Maps extension for MediaWiki, how you can customize it, and how to interact with it. I’ve linked it from the Maps extension documentation page. Depending on the feedback I’ll get, I might make similar ones explaining how to create maps with markers, how to aggregate coordinates onto a map with Semantic MediaWiki, and how to use the Semantic Forms hooks of Semantic Maps.

Note: the application I used to create this screencast with does not have build in spellings correction, so expect at least one mistake in every 20 words or so
