Google Maps

Hi James,

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with the global maps in PHPRunner. Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check Google Maps API Key: Make sure that your Google Maps API key is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions enabled. If the key is restricted (e.g., to specific referrers or IP addresses), it can cause the map to not display properly.

   
   

2. Billing Account: Ensure that your Google Maps account is set up with a billing account. As of recent updates, Google requires an active billing account for the Maps API to function properly.

   
   

3. JavaScript Console: Open the developer tools in your web browser (usually by pressing F12) and check the console for any JavaScript errors. This can provide insights if there's a problem loading the map.

   
   

4. PHPRunner Version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of PHPRunner. Sometimes, updates include fixes or changes that may affect how features like global maps work.

   
   

5. API Limits: Check if you’ve exceeded any quotas or limits on your Google Maps API usage. This can also lead to maps not displaying.

   
   

6. Map Initialization: Verify that the initialization script for the global maps is still correctly configured. If there have been changes in PHPRunner or the Google Maps API, it may require adjustments.

   
   

7. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS): If your API key is restricted, ensure that the domains you're using to access the maps are allowed.

   
   

8. Community Forums: Since you mentioned others may have this problem, consider checking PHPRunner community forums or support channels. Other users may have experienced similar issues and might have solutions.

   
   

If none of these solutions work, you may want to reach out to PHPRunner support directly for more tailored assistance.

Best of luck, and I hope you get your maps working again!

Best,

Google makes changes all the time. As a first step make sure you use a valid API key with services like Google Maps and Geocoding enabled.

Yea I think Google Changed something. All was working great..Never changed codes. It just stopped.. Do not have very many addresses so only using 6% of max quota. Like I said the maps on the view page work great. Just the list page with the Global map is not showing up. Just a big blank space..
Thank Sergey

If I find out why I will come back and post the reason then close the tread.

I found out the problem. just so anyone else has this problem. If you edit your Style to add the Meta stuff. You will have to go back and reset it for any changes to take place.

You should not be editing any files in HTML mode under any circumstances.

Use Style Editor -> Templates -> headers.htm to add meta tags.
