Hi there,

I also created new Test Post, from my end it show fine. Please give it try and see how it goes. Try clear your browser cache also.

Hey Michael,

I have remove your API (AIzaSyA1plaVJfydCv7CVRFYsQvjhLrFW-X7k8E) key from your Google map , can you try clear your browser cache and see how it goes? Because I noticed this API key is not correct.

Hi

Whatever I do still a blank map.
I tried it with no API-Key and now generated a new one according:

http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/configuration/how-to-get-google-maps-API-key

Still the same

Tried it with a complete new Firefox Installation. So can't be a cache issue.

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

I've tried to modify on this file -> JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\maps\maps.php but suddenly I can't access your site, now hitting 500 error even I revert back my changes from the file.

Can you consult with your webhosting provider regarding this and keep us update.

Hi Arlex

Site is back now
What I have tried in the meantime is to setup a complete fresh install of joomla without any other components, modules or plugins...just to be sure that we don't have an incompatibility here. But at the end with the same result of a blank map.

Hey Michael,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Hm, the maps seems to appear for me, http://take.ms/7XE6c

Could this be an intermittent issue with Google maps?

Hi all

Mmhh..really strange behaviour

I have seen in Google Chrome that I get this error message (see second picture):

Failed to load recource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()

As soon as I open once the link that gives the error in a seperate tab, the map works immediately in easyblog:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=47.4685051,8.2972173&language=en&maptype=roadmap&zoom=10&size=1280x1280&sensor=true&markers=color:red|label:S|47.4685051,8.2972173);%20height:300px

To better understand I have uploaded 4 print screens what I have done and how it looks.

Hope this helps...

Michael

Update:

When I have a look on this:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/?hl=de

It says that the API-Key is needed in the link. Could it be that this is the issue?

I've applied some fix in these following files, can you give it a try is it work fine now?
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\wireframe\maps\interactive.php
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\wireframe\maps\static.php
JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\maps\maps.php

Yeahhh...Maps are working now

I think same change has to be done in composer map-preview (see picture) as the preview is missing there as well

Thanks Michael

Forgot picture...here it is

I've applied some fix in this file -> JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\post\post.php , it should work fine now.

Hi Arlex

Thanks! I still get this error in composer that API-Key is needed (checked in Google Chrome)

Michael

It seems work fine for me when I edit one of the location post, you can refer on my attached screenshot below.

Mmmhh, for me not

I prepared a new blog entry and compared the output code. It seems that there is no google-link at all in my post. Pictures show the difference between your and my post.

Michael

It's just "happening" the first time. As soon as I edit the post the map is also there.

Not sure if this file needs an update as well?

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/location/providers/maps.php

Hey there,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Actually I would like to replicate this issue then only know where goes wrong, perhaps you can share with me which post URL is this ? screenshot : http://take.ms/GSHXu

Hi Arlex

Tested it again with this:
http://www.di2.ch/index.php/entry/tagesblog-1-1-1

But I'm sure that this is now working on your side! It happens only the very first time when I create a blog post. On the following pictures you can see the sequence:

Screenshot 1: Create new blog post and add location --> Location is there but no background picture
Screenshot 2: The code shows that there is no information about google map picture
Screenshot 3: On that screenshot I already published the blog post and started to edit the same --> Map is there

Thanks & BR
Michael

Can you check again is it work fine now?

Because I manage to replicate this issue when you add the location from the composer, and applied some fix in this file -> JoomlaFolder\media\com_easyblog\scripts\composer\location.js

Hi Arlex

Yes, that's it!! Thanks so much for your great support!!

Michael
