Maps not loading

Post by Zoraster »

Oops! Something went wrong.
This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

I have tried using Phoca Maps on a few websites and keep getting the same error as above using 3.0.3 version
on Joomla 3.XXX

Have been trying to find a solution. Went to google and have a API key but have no idea what file it needs to be inserted.
And I am assuming, it is a missing API that is the problem.

thanks for any help in this matter, I could use other google maps, but have enjoyed Phoca Maps...

Thank you for quick response

Yes, I have read this thread several times, but like some of the other posters what file does the key need to be insert?

Hi,

please, update to the latest version (3.0.4): https://www.phoca.cz/news/890-phoca-maps-3-0-4-released

It should work OK now (including the API Key), see demo (3.0.4): https://www.phoca.cz/documents/53-phoca-maps ... izing-maps

Please, test it and let me know.

Thank you, Jan

Hi Jan,

thx for updating Phoca Maps! But there's still a problem with the loading process.
I'll see the map in the backend of Joomla, but in the frontend, the map won't load (only a grey background).

Do I need to create a special api-key at google? Google suggest me "browser or server key" - I've already created a key, but I don't know why this isn't working for me.

Do you have a solution for me?

Best regards
Stefan

(Latest Joomla 3.5x version)

I do have the same problem - I did enter an API Key and the backend shows everything just fine. But on the frontend it only shows a grey rectangle. Even worse - the border shows grey and white - there is no transparency. I don't use white as a background on my web site, so it looks ugly.

I also can not enter a percentage in the width field (I need 80-100% so the map fills the module position like I need it). It reverts back to px ?

Looking forward to a working version.

Edit:

I could not see my API key being transmitted in the console ?
