User:Brammers/Wiki Map Plugin
Wiki map plugin
This is the current work in progress spec for the Wiki map plugin - please use the talk page for disccussion and sugguest changes.
Command format
The command will be something like
<wiki:map image="filename" caption="World map" // Hotspts a square to link to page F02 rect="0,0,50,50" page="F02" // Plots a fixed // circle of 10px wth a link to // Ceres Cave Page with tooltip saying "Entrance to ceres lab" spot="100,100" page="Ceres Cave|Entrance to ceres lab" // Draws a cricle of 50px linking to Garbage Dump circle="500,500,50 page="Garbage dump" />
What would be nice to have
When you move the mouse over a area, it highlights the area with a white overlay. This would need probably Jquery work to work with the HTML map elements, or a complete ground up approach using Jquery using image overlays and click events. Needs investigating and some prototyping work.
And the future real nice to have would be
spot="800,800" npc="Grimm"
Which would pull out the npc template data and render it into a cluetip when the user hovers over the spot, and clicking on the spot would take the user to the Grimm NPC page.
Technical issues
The spot and rect params may have to be numbered, depending how well the wiki can handle multiple attributes of the same name. Same applies to the page attribute
Each map element may have to be (say)
rect="0,0,50,50|F02"
Other things to add?
Use the talk page! ;)
