protocol-relative URLs

Hi! The links to toolserver and Google Maps should be protocol-relative, that is "//toolserver.org/..." instead of "http://toolserver.org/...". Greetings --Stefan Knauf (talk) 20:12, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't work in articles

The template is mainly used on categories. It is stated "This creates links to maps on categories and articles", but I couldn't detect, it works on articles (sample: Rustam Bagh). --Hasenläufer (talk) 18:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

It works, but there have to be coordinates. Cf User:Thgoiter/Test. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 06:53, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Understood. Thanks for the hint! --Hasenläufer (talk) 09:36, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Bing doesn't work anymore

It has already been removed as an option from this template on the English language Wikipedia. I'd remove it myself but this template is a bit complicated. --Vera ^(talk) 15:06, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

“Export all coordinates as GeoRSS”

When I click at “Export all coordinates as GeoRSS” I get a message “This RSS feed has either been deleted or you may no longer have access.” Is this a general behaviour or special in my case? (Up to now I'm not familiar with RSS feeds.) --Hasenläufer (talk) 14:08, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Strange behaviour on OSM map

Clicking on Map of all coordinates from OSM takes me to an OSM map with all its blue markers. But hovering or clicking on a blue marker just highlights me the file name in the left column. Clicking then on a file name in the left column just opens me a new tab (in Firefox) with the same map (and URL). So: how am I able to watch the (not correctly linked) files? --Yeerge (talk) 15:36, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Behaviour is known by tool developer (discussion in German: de:WD:GEO#Kategorie-Filter für Commons on OSM ?) but no solution yet. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 20:25, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Not working

Both Bing and OSM links are no working. This may be due to the recent domain change of the toollab tools towards toolforge.-- Bodhisattwa (talk) 15:59, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

At least OSM works for me. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 17:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

For me, Map of All Locations on OSM is working. Map of All Locations on Bing, no pictures. Jim.henderson (talk) 15:31, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

@Thgoiter and Jim.henderson: , not working for Commons namespace, where it was working few months ago. Please check here. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 09:51, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

@Bodhisattwa: Unfortunately Module:Coordinates doesn't currently support GeoData (on which the OSM tool relies) for the Commons namespace, it only supports the File namespace (and Template:Inline coordinates doesn't even call this module). --DB111 (talk) 22:39, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

P.S.: You can try to keep using the old OSM tool for this. --DB111 (talk) 23:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Disabling Bing

@Verdy p: I tried to disable Bing in the same way Google and the RSS feed were disabled earlier, since it no longer works. Doesn't seem to have any effect though? --Vera ^(talk) 10:53, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

1Veertje You've changed "#if:ENABLED" into "#if:DISABLED". The result is the same, because the term is not interpreted, only the fact that is is an empty string (=disabled) or any non-empty string (=enabled). So remove the keyword "DISABLED" and this will work (you may place the keyword DISABLED in the comment at end of line to document this "#if:"). Initially there was a parameter to the template (with an empty or non-empty value), but as this value is static, no parameter is used.

Note: I cannot edit the template myself, as I'm not a template editor on this wiki (the semi-protection requires this right since 2 years, this is not indicated in the visible protection banner itself). verdy_p (talk) 12:41, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

level does not work correct

Why is "|level=" not working correctly? See e.g. Category:Aerial photographs of Landkreis Bautzen (top right). I miss the coordinates from the subcategories. Some weeks ago it was working. In Category:Aerial_photographs_of_Görlitz e. g., only the first 4 coordinates are listed, not the coordinates of File:18-09-29-Görlitz-RalfR-DJI 0414.jpg e.g. --PaulT (talk) 18:25, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, but I reduced the number of levels to 1. To be honest: I did not expect that somebody really uses it. The reason is that my tool was deaktivated be the admins because it uses too many ressources.

But this has nothing to do with the fact, that only 4 coordinates are shown. This is really strange. Perhaps a bug in "kmlexport" which is used by my program? --Plenz (talk) 19:03, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

It seems that even at level=1, no subcategories are displayed, e.g. Category:Calenberger Neustadt (Hannover). I think I already added about 200 GeoGroup calls to categories. Is there a chance to limit not the number of levels but the number of entries (e.g. max. 50 pins)? -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (talk) 19:36, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

• @Plenz: We need the option to go down to at least 3 levels when maintaining categories. That way we can find wrongly-categorised images. Please reinstate and bid for more resources. If we don't have the tools, we can;t do the job, and this is one of the most valuable for maintaining categories. And sorry, I don't like nasty surprises like this, imposed with neither information nor consultation. Rodhullandemu (talk) 12:48, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
  • @Plenz: Is this being worked on, or should we open a Phabricator task? It's been nearly a week with no response. That doesn't help. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:02, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

"Template:Geogroup" does no opens the file pages

Error reported in Commons:Village pump/Technical#"Template:Geogroup" does no opens the file pages--JotaCartas (talk) 21:17, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

See also #Strange behaviour on OSM map. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 18:56, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

@Verdy p: : Thank you. Now the option - "Map of all coordinates on Bing" - is linking to the files, what a great help, thank you again--JotaCartas (talk) 06:35, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Several service URLS have stopped working and the way they were URL-encoded (when there's an URL in the URL, each one requiring its own encoding) was incorrect. I fixed it.

I updated the doc for the template to mark the features that are now disabled due to PAGE NOT FOUND (Google Map, UKOS, and export as GeoRSS). And I fixed the KML export in the remaining 3 options, and added Bing Map again with it (which works better than the OSM map, whose rendering is incorrect when the KML containing non-ASCII UTF-8 labels, e.g. in Russia).

I passed some time to make the code of the template readable (and I merged the parts with the optional levels=n parameter).

Finally I made the box more easily translatable (I added Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and completed Greek; you may want to add your languages in Template:Geogroup within the LangSwitch'es).

Note that Japanese may look quirky (because the complements are normally at start of sentence; they are for now added at end, between parentheses because there are no space separators between words in sentences, and using commas would be less appropriate I think). If you feel I must change it, the code will be a bit more complex.

I did not develop these URL services, and the OSM map should be fixed (you may suggest another replacement service URL). verdy_p (talk) 10:45, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi verdy_p, Thank you for your fixes! - It seems that there is another unsolved problem: the level= parameter currently always acts like level=0. I assume this is due to a problem with the osm4wiki tool where user:Plenz made a change due to performance problems. I think we should describe it at the doc subpage. -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (talk) 19:05, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
