User:Evad37/Custom GeoHack replacement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Custom GeoHack replacement (source) – Use your own custom page with only links you choose, and with whatever formatting you want, instead of the regular GeoHack.

It support the following replacement variables found in GeoHack: {latdegdec} {londegdec} {scale} {span} {osmzoom}

Instructions

[edit]
  1. Add the following line to your common.js (or skin-specific js):
    {{subst:lusc|User:Evad37/Custom_GeoHack_replacement.js}}
  2. Create your custom GeoHack user subpage at User:YOURUSERNAME/GeoHack
    • use whatever content and formatting you like
    • use the replacement variables above in external links, e.g. for Google Maps use

      http://maps.google.com/maps?ll={latdegdec},{londegdec}&spn={span},{span}&q={latdegdec},{londegdec}

    • more urls can be found at Template:GeoTemplate
    • see User:Evad37/GeoHack for an example page
  3. Now coordinates will link to this page instead of GeoHack (specifying real values to take the place of the replacement variables in external links)
