Hi there,
It seems that you are using older version of EasySocial as this issues already fixed on our latest EasySocial version, that is on v2.0.x. This is because google have force everyone to use Google API key in order to use locations. Would you consider to update/upgrade your current to it latest version?
Maybe you can follow steps below if you didnt wanted to update your EasySocial, to its latest version.
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.yoursite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_easysocial&compile=1&minify=1
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 these modifications for you.
