Hi there,

This is actually a known issues where Google have made some modification regarding their API key, and this already fixed on our latest version, that is, EasySocial 2.0.

It seems that you haven't put you Google API key yet at Backend>Components>EasySocial>Settings>Location Service as shown http://prntscr.com/cw2ls2.

In order for you to use Google Maps, you must have "Activated" Google API key. Please follow steps below:

1. How to get Google API key and activate it
- Go to this page -> https://console.developers.google.com/iam-admin/projects
- Create project and check my video here : http://screencast.com/t/xnfoJH8vx
- This is the page for activate the APIs key -> https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

2. Replace your API key on each file respectively:

....\media\foundry\4.0\scripts\gmaps.js
[gist type="php"]
//insert the gmap API key here line 1570
parameters.push('key=Insert your Google API key here');
[/gist]

...\media\com_easysocial\scripts\site\locations\popbox.js
[gist type="php"]
//Line 12
url = "//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?key=Insert Your Google API key Here&size=400x200&sensor=true&zoom=15¢er=" + lat + "," + lng + "&markers=" + lat + "," + lng + "&language=" + language;
[/gist]

...\media\foundry\4.0\libraries\closure.php
- Just replace this file

Then you have to run URL below and make sure you are logged-in on your Back end.
https://www.wildbikers.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_easysocial&compile=1&minify=1
Actually, i have tried to run this URL, it seems that i hit this error, "No HTTP response from server " , Please consult with your web service provider regarding this. Run without ";" on the URL above.

Or, you can turn your "System Environment" to "Development mode" and "Javascript Compression" to "Uncompressed" first at Backend>Components>EasySocial>Settings>General

Or maybe you need helps regarding this, can you give us with your FTP access in order for us to make some modifications for you.

I originally had the API in the correct Map location in the Admin Panel - But it did not work and I read on theses forums there was an error.

I completed all the Task and it Partially works ONLY in Development Mode and UNCOMPRESSED. The Map shows when searching but the POP UP is blank. When I go back to Production. Nothing works.

I have sent you via FTP info in Original Post. Also my MAPS API Code was attached.

I am seeing several jquery/ javascript errors in Firefox too.

Hi there,

It seems to works fine now. Please give it a try and see how it goes.

Awesome - Can you please let me know what you did in case I have a theme update or change that I will need to duplicate? TY for the great support though!


On a similar Issue - I have entered the Google Places API and it does not seem to work! I assume it should be able to Pick out Google Businesses when location, not just the Address

Hey James,

Awesome - Can you please let me know what you did in case I have a theme update or change that I will need to duplicate? TY for the great support though!

Regarding this proper fix we already included in Easysocial 2.0, once we release Easysocial 2.0 stable version, you shouldn't have this issue again, unless Google update their API again.

On a similar Issue - I have entered the Google Places API and it does not seem to work! I assume it should be able to Pick out Google Businesses when location, not just the Address

I've checked from your backend, it seems like your `Service Provider` is set to use "Google maps", so it will use this map service provider when you search location on the site, unless you change that option to "Google Places" then we have to temporary help you hard coded those API key into Easysocial core file in order to make this work.

Will that also be fixed with the next release? If the release is coming soon - I can wait till then! Just using and exercising all the options before I release to give the best experience I can. See what one is best for the Future members as I also am going to have future sites and domains.

Hi there,

Will that also be fixed with the next release?

Yes it is. You can try to download our latest EasySocial Release that is EasySocial RC version. This version already included those issues you faced. Please give it a try and see how it goes.
