Customizing query results: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:45, 15 May 2020

This page is about customization of the information that is shown when clicking a marker or shape on a map showing the result of a Semantic MediaWiki query.

Default behavior

By default the name of the page is shown. If addition properties are queried, they are shown in a list below the title.

{{#ask:[[Category:Cities]]
 | format=map
 | ?Coordinates
 | ?Located in
 | ?Population
 | ?Surface area
}}

Parameters

Parameters relevant for customization:

template
showtitle
hidenamespace
userparam

For a full list of parameters you can use in the map formats, see Leaflet SMW queries and Google Maps SMW queries.

Templates

Templates allow you to fully customize what gets shown in the popups.

Templates are specified with the template parameter, which takes the name of a template on your wiki. The showtitle parameter is often useful here, as setting it to no allows you to have full control over the popup content.

This example shows usage of multiple queried values via the "City Popup" template.

{{#ask:[[Category:Cities]]
 | format=map
 | ?Coordinates
 | ?Located in
 | ?Population
 | ?Surface area
 | template=City Popup
 | showtitle=off
}}

Loading map...

Template content: The city [[{{{title}}}]] is located in [[{{{Located in}}}]]. It has a population of {{{Population}}} and surface area of {{{Surface area}}} kmÂ²

I created Maps and this documentation in my free time. If you are finding either useful, please consider supporting me.
