That sounds very good. I just realized that you asked before about the Google Summer of Code - there's a student who's applying to the GSoC to work on adding full support for mapping services to SMW - most notably updating Semantic Layers, but also, if there's time, adding support for services like Google Earth and Yahoo Maps. I'm signed up to be his mentor. I was planning to write more about it once we knew whether his application was accepted or not. -Yaron On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:46 PM, Sergey Chernyshev < ser...@gm...> wrote: > I didn't see any complaints about this functionality so I'll go ahead and > check it into the repository. > > Thank you, > > Sergey > > > -- > Sergey Chernyshev > http://www.sergeychernyshev.com/ > > > On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 3:07 PM, Sergey Chernyshev < > ser...@gm...> wrote: > >> As promised, I added "Show embed code" link to Special:Ask page: >> >> http://www.techpresentations.org/Special:Ask?title=Special%3AAsk&q=[[Category%3ARFC]]&po=%3FRFC+date%0D%0A%3FRFC+title%0D%0A%3FRFC+author%0D%0A%3FRFC+document+URL%0D%0A&eq=yes&p=format%3Dbroadtable&eq=yes<http://www.techpresentations.org/Special:Ask?title=Special%3AAsk&q=%5B%5BCategory%3ARFC%5D%5D&po=%3FRFC+date%0D%0A%3FRFC+title%0D%0A%3FRFC+author%0D%0A%3FRFC+document+URL%0D%0A&eq=yes&p=format%3Dbroadtable&eq=yes> >> >> When clicked, it shows the code for {{#ask:...}} parser function that you >> can use to embed current results (including format) into a page anywhere on >> your wiki. >> >> I think that together with format selector, it'll help people create more >> data-driven wikis.
