Maps works on Joomla 3.4.6 but not on 3.4.8

Post by mjkahn »

Trying to make phocamaps plugin work. It works fine on Joomla 3.4.6 but on a new site running 3.4.8, it does not do anything except display the code on the web page. To make sure I didn't have a typo, I copied the working code from the working site onto the new site. It still didn't work.

The only difference I can see anywhere is on the plugin page. Under "ordering" on the working site I have "0. Content - Joomla" selected. On the new site, I have tried selecting the same and others, but after I hit "save" it always reverts to "0. PHoca Maps Plugin." All other variables are exactly the same.

Display Map Description NO
Detail Window Modal Box
Modal Box Overlay color 3000000
Modal Box Overlay Opacity 30%
Modal Box Border Width 2
Status Enabled
Access Public
Ordering (see note above)
Plugin Type content
Plugin File phocamaps

The goal is to place a Google map on a page with other content.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mitch

Hi,
which versions of Phoca Maps Component and Phoca Maps Plugin do you use?
The URL would be helpful...

Kind regards,

The 3.4.8 site has v. 3.0.1 of the component, which I couldn't figure out how to add to a page and couldn't find any reference materials to do that. It looks to me, from the documentation, that it only works directly from a menu item.

The 3.4.8 site has Phoca Maps Plugin v 3.0.2. This doesn't work. http://dev.smietanka.middlecoast.net/in ... -joseph-mi I am using the same URL and script as the other working site right down to the address in the script.

The 3.4.6 site has:
Phoca Maps Plugin v. 2.0.5 This works.

Hi,
I found this code on your site: {google_map}2550 Patterson Avenue, Grand Rapids, MI 49546|type:satellite{/google_map}
This is not valid Phoca Maps Plugin code.
Go to: backend --> Components --> Phoca Maps --> Maps --> (here you will find the valid Phoca Maps Plugin code for your with Phoca Maps Component created map. You only need to copy & paste it into your article content)

On the second office are having an issue with the address: The actual address is: 4250 Chicago Dr., S.W., Suite B, Grandville, MI 49418

When I enter the address and set the latitude/longitude coordinates, the address that shows in the map is when I "get route" is:
3101-3199 Chestnut Ave SW, Grandville, MI 49418, USA

Hi,
Phoca Maps displays Google Maps. I don't know how adresses in the States work but this seems to be more a question to google maps forum. And the two adresses seem to be not very far away from each other... :idea:
