Phoca Forum

Hi,
I am new to Phoca Maps and I am having difficulty creating a new map. I have followed the (simple) instructions Maps > New > Set Coordinates.
If I simply click on the button I get a millisecond view of a map and then: -

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

If I manually enter Lat and Long I again get a brief very view of the map (correct location) and the JavaScript error message.
I am running Joomla 3.8.4, Phoca Maps 3.04 and have valid Google APIs

I have tried to view a map from a menu item and also using the plugin via an article. No success.

I have used Google Maps for many years but the extension has been discontinued by Joomla due to vulnerabilities, so I downloaded Phoca Maps to replace (being a keen fan of Phoca Gallery!)

Barrie

Hi Barrie,

I think you mean from tech reumer - know about this .....

Since ca. 2015, google maps needs an API Key. So, you should go through this: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/53-phoca ... ps-api-key

You have to active for all 3 APIs:

Google Maps JavaScript API - to display the map
Google Maps Geocoding API - to set coordinates by address
Google Maps Directions API - to display route in the map

Key: Copy it and paste it to Phoca Maps Options. Store the options. Now the map should be displayed in administration and in frontend.

Kind regards,
Christine

Hi Christine,
I have a valid Google API - I think the problem is different.

there ist still tech reumer. Your plugin is an old one > version: googlemap2 > therefore javascript errors due invalid version of your google map.

... the extension has been discontinued by Joomla due to vulnerabilities,

yes, it belongs to version 3.5: https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... by-reumer/

I have another attempt using a module at bottom of location page. Nothing works with Phoca

Don't know, what you mean with: "module at bottom .... "

There is no (at the present time) Phoca Map installed/loaded etc.

You should de-install the old map and then starting new with Phoca Map.

Kind regards

Hi Christine,
Have deleted old plugin and enabled new V3. I also had a spurious key reference in the Phoca back end!! So - map now created perfectly.
Will still plough on making mistakes - but thanks very much!

you had an old Plugin version (as mentioned before) and now you made update to plugin version 3.3.
But I wrote, you should complete de-install the reumer plugin.

It's still under menue: /coast-map
