Problem with google maps in Joomla! latest version

Hi,

Does those extension work with the default Joomla theme?

Sincerely,
Hella

Hi Hella,

As I said they're working without any problem on a artisteer (latest version) in junction with tree other extensions.
And I'm sure on standard templates as well as per informations on their respective home pages :

• http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/maps-a-weather/maps-a-locations/gmapfp-google-map
• http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/bt-google-maps

in conjunction with :
- https://www.omegatheme.com/joomla/extensions/285-ot-accordion-slide
- http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/site-management/cookie-control/cookie-accept
- http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/news-display/articles-display/junewsultra-pro
- http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/photos-a-images/slideshow/bt-simple-slideshow

The site i've created a year ago with artisteer and all those extensions is working perfectly.
Recreating the template under themler causes Google maps to hang. The other extensions are working well

Thanks in advance for you advise and help
Stéphane

I have also tried to assign a blank Themler template to the relevant Google maps page (The extension is called inside an article with {loadposition x} without any success. I am getting the same JavaScript error.

The google maps extensions are the only ones called like this in an article... Isn't that maybe the problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help and advise,
Stéphane

Hi Hella,

How can I add the below shown script to the header of the template in Themler ?

I have found the solution of the problem ! It has nothing to do with Themler at all ! it is just coincidences !
The solution is :

Google changed the rules for new sites using their API's ! New sites do require an API key ! to do so just follow the steps :

Fixed! you have to create an api key for google maps and insert this code on the header of the template

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
  type="text/javascript"></script>

here you can find how to do it
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

I have tried the Insert/More/CMS Code feature in Themler.

After getting my navigator Google API key
Removing all the suggested code, I inserted the following code with replacing the YOUR_API_KEY with MY_API_KEY

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_API_KEY"
  type="text/javascript"></script>

And it worked just right away !

Hope this can help other users

No problem Hella.

But for your information, I had to use "Load module in article" extension (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/load-module-into-article)
in order to have it shown inside an article.
The Joomla! {loadposition x} or {loadmodule x} doesn't work.

Hope this helps,
Stéphane

Hi,

If you look at my credit link a few post up, and clic on it, you will seee that it has to be placed in the <header> of the page... It is a script...
