solved Google Maps on Events

I read the documentation, installed the module, made a custom form field in Events.

That part seems to work, I see the map and can enter a location successfully on the form. However when I modify an old event or create a new event the map doesn't show.

I put {ujGoogleMaps_map name="map" map=$item module="jrEvent" height="300"} in the Profile Events item_detail.tpl

I also added jrEvents to the Image Mapping Modules section of the Google Map Module and enabled the module for all quotas. I've cleared the cache but the map doesn't show.

What am I doing wrong - if anything?

Do you have a link to the page where the map doesn't show?

I do have some updates to make to the module - Paul says there are some problems with the google api key, so if you are using a key try removing that for now.

The update should be ready in the near future.

Hi Steve - Here is the page - http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/event/179/live-radio

However, you won't see the page unless I send you an admin password. Do you have a secure e-mail for that?

You also won't see the issue if I remove the Google API key, so perhaps that should wait until you had a chance for a look see?

Without the api key you should be good for 25000 calls to the api per day.

Do you have maps showing to the public on your site? Googl terms and conditions are that some maps need to be public - ie you can't have a site which only shows maps to logged in users. However, I doubt that will be the problem if you have just installed it.

Can you send a private note here on jamroom.net?

Where is the button for sending you a private note - sorry don't see one.

I took out the key, reset the cache, but the problem is the same. I see the map on the form, but not the actual event.

I was in pre/launch (maintenance mode) but I took that off temporarily to see if it was a privacy issue, however even with the site public the problem remains.

Sorry Steve but I don't see a button for that. Can you tell me the procedure for sending a PM here?

Go to your Private Notes and click the New Note button at the top right, then search for Steve and you should see his name in the drop down.

Thanks Douglas, Not sure that everyone can access private notes, so I emailed Ken using the address on the license.

Ken, I renamed the Form Designer field event_googlemaps and the map now appears on the event detail page. I'm not sure why I made it that the field needs to be named like that, but that's the way it is for now.
Take a look, see if that works for you and let me know.

One other thing that I noticed with your skin, there is no opening body tag on the event detail page which might cause problems with other modules down the line.

Hi Guys,

I'll look into it this week-end, I'm almost ready to drop my maintenance screen and go live.

I don't see a "Private Notes" link anywhere - sorry.

I didn't remove any body tags (to my knowledge) so the skin designer might want to look into that - which I believe is Douglas???

Hi Steve - I just tested and confirmed that the map is working on events now - thanks very much...

I got this in my email.

Does it mean that the map functionality we have now will be lost, or is it talking about something that doesn't affect Jamroom.

This isn't related to the maps module as there has never been anything in the module to allow you to upload map ata to google. Perhaps you signed up for the Maps Engine service for something completely separate to Jamroom?
