Wiki Page Created via Tracker, and Displayed on Map

posts: 758 United States

Dear folks, I am at a major impasse in my tiki project.
Thanks to the fine folks here I have been able to figure out how to create a wiki page by tracker input. And, I just recently discovered how to display tracker item on map, by using the examples I learned in GeoCMS_Map profile.

So I feel I am very close to my final goal. That is, to create a wiki page via tracker form, and to have that page auto populate a map with icon. So when the icon is clicked, just as is the case in "Geo Located Wiki Pages" the link takes you back to the wiki page.

I have struggled and challenged myself, and I have read the documentation for trackers and map, and I cannot get my head wrapped around the concept for displaying wiki page on map, that was created by tracker.

If you will, llease see the following links at our live Tiki site. I will walk you through what I have running already.

This is the tracker form for user to fill out to create a wiki page: http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/notable_people_past.form

This is the template the page is generated from: http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/notable_people_past.tpl

This is the tracker that was created for our form that users will fill out for their research project about "Notable people past": http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/tracker1

This is the map I would like those created items by tracker to display on: http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/Geolocated+Research+Projects

At this point, you see the icons generated on the map were accomplished by "Geo Location of Wiki Page" through properties of wiki page. Not via tracker.

We want to be able to create a wiki page via tracker, with tracker field "location". Then using the tracker field "location", the item is displayed on the map and the coordinates are displayed on the map.
In our case, the tracker field "location" is used as "Birth place". So we can display the location of the subjects birthplace on the map.

You will see one wiki page created by our "Notable people past" tracker, with "Birth place" field using the "location" attribute. The coordinates are showing up in the "info box" for that page. Please see the page at: http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/George-Nakashima

You can actually use the form we created by going to this page at: http://thepatriotwoodwiki.org/People%20Research%20Portal
Once there, you can click on the button "Create Research Project" to see how our form functions.
To login to use the form please use:
Username (Tiki User)
Password (123456789)

Once again, our goal is to create wiki page by tracker, and have map display the wiki page created by tracker.

This is truly the final object that I am struggling with, and trying to accomplish, if I can get this to work, the world would be golden.
If anyone can lend any advice, I'd sure appreciate any help.
Thanks so much!
