You probably have written "[[User:username|Username]]" to the
"Signature" option field in your wiki preferences, but haven't enabled
the "Raw signatures" check box. Without the "Raw signatures" option, the
"Signature" field will only modify the visible part of your signature,
that is, the part after the "|". And it will convert all special
characters, such as "[", "]" and "|".

By the way: The wiki doesn't distinguish between the pagenames
User:username and User:Username anyway, so I don't think you even need
to modify the link target.

I hope this helps you solve your problem.

[OSM-talk] HELP: signing problem on wiki ( different user-name wiki <-> osm-server)

2009-11-21 Thread colliar
Hi
Please can anyone help me.
I have different user-names on osm-wiki and osm-server. (only capital as first
letter and not)
The link on my wiki-user-page works well. Only signing does not. It should be:
[User:username|Username]].
In stead it turns out:
[[User:Username|[[User:username|Username

Thanks Colliar

In German cities we have 90-100% of the roads, but it's not that good in 
remote rural areas. There are statistics for some areas at

Re: [OSM-talk] Isn't it time for a higher zoom level?

2009-11-21 Thread Igor Brejc
Richard, thanks for mentioning Kosmos :)
Yes, Kosmos draws OSM data on-the-fly and it supports continuous zoom 
levels (I've limited it up to zoom level 18 because of some .NET drawing 
engine problems on higher zooms). There are two drawbacks however: it 
runs on Windows only and the latest released version is getting old. But 
I'm working (hard?) on the v3 version which I hope will be easier to use 
and more powerful. And if I get the time, I'll try to make it Linux (and 
Mac)-friendly.

Indeed I followed the webkit-image qt method and presto - it works.
Thanks for the tip !

Here is the method I used :

apt-get install build-essential libqt4-dev libqt4-webkit pkg-config
svn co
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/editors/josm/plugins/wmsplugin
cd wmsplugin
make webkit-image
sudo cp webkit-image /usr/local/bin/

Then in JOSM, in Edit/Preferences select 'webkit-image {0}' as the
command for the plugin. Then it works.

Actually it's going the other way, mobile phones and netbooks are
becoming the most common internet connected devices.

But most people have more CPU than they really know what to do with
these days.

Download bandwidth and remote storage is the bigger problem with the
current tile method.
