Add Media Extensions to your Waihekepedia Content
YouTube Videos
In your content simply add <youtube> v </youtube> to the page you are editing. Change the v to the YouTube video ID and save - easy!
Where do I find the video ID?
Go to any YouTube Video - the URL will look something like this:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ktGWedidACk&mode=related&search=
The bold bit is the video ID
MP3 Files
Simply add <flashmp3>mp3url.mp3</flashmp3>into your content
You can link to an external mp3 file by adding the tag like so: <flashmp3>http://www.yoursite.com/filename.mp3</flashmp3>
You can also upload an mp3 file to the Waihekepedia site and then link to it by doing the following:
Click on the Upload file link in toolbox on the left
Select your file and upload it
Copy the URL of the uploaded file, it will be displayed as a link in the page shown after you have uploaded it
Paste this URL between the <flashmp3> </flashmp3> tags and save your page, your file will be ready for people to play
Google Maps
To embed a Google map in a page you will need to know the co-ordinates of the location you wish to display.
Google Maps can be used to find coordinates. Find the place you require coordinates for, and double click on it to centre the map around that point. Then click the "link to this page" link, and the coordinates (in degrees and parts of a degree in decimals) appear in the address bar, eg "http://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=51.455558,-2.605047&spn=0.032304,0.069523". In this case the latitude is 51.455558, and the longitude is -2.605047.
In your content add the following tag
<gmap lat="51.455558" long="-2.605047" zoom="5" width="800" height="600">Map Title</gmap>
Zoom can be any number between 1 and 10 - 1 being the most zoomed in
Set width and height to suit you page
