Content Map Converter

^{Program created by Asher Allison}

Originally this program was specifically designed to produce code for the mediawiki extension 'Imagemap', in order to create interactive content maps on WikiVet. The 'NE' version can now produce interactive content maps without the requirment for this extension. The program extracts co-ordinates and links from the source code of the content map web page produced by CMapTools and outputs it into compatible wiki code for use in WikiVet.

Version

Currently the version for use on the wiki is Content Map Converter as this will produce working content maps. Content Map Converter NE is now archived due to the introduction of the ImageMap extension.

Content Map Converter requires the extension ImageMap to be installed on the server. However this is currently not installed and therefore output from this program will not function. Once the extension is installed this will become the preferred program as its output is more elegant and the functionality of the content maps increased.
