[Pro] Google Maps and API Key

Hello All

I’ve generated an API, inserted this, but still waiting for the map to appear (within freeway) after several hours!.

Any suggetions?

You probably need to look at this on your server (from the domain name you used to generate the key).

HI Walter

From the tutorial here: Google Maps in Freeway - YouTube we’re supposed to be able to configure the map before we upload the page.

I’m also not seeeing the Blue Google Map pin in the instence of he Google Maps Action on the page.

So I might not be doing it right.

Tiny,

After creating your API key did you add your "HTTP referrers (web sites)” such as…

Hi David

Yes I’ve done that. The action seems to be sparadic. There are times when I’ve added the Google Maps Actions when I can see a map (sometimes I see it sometimes I don’t) but when I add the code the mapp disapears never to return.

When you say “disappears” what do you actually see?

Is your map uploaded and live on the server?

Hi David

The page has been uploaed as we have other information that needs to be up. However there is a large gap where the map is missing.

At present in Freeway 7 drawing an instant (Google Maps) produces no result.

“You probably need to look at this on your server (from the domain name you used to generate the key)”

I’ll check this again carefully

Problem Solved.

• For the API Key I’ve made sure the web address begins and ends with a *

• After looking through these forums ‘Walters suggestion’ to use co-ordinates instead of postcodes has worked.

• Current vertion of freeway does not allow (at least on my system) you to view the map on within Freeway 7.

• The best worsaround I’ve found is just to publish the site and view this on screen then go back to freeway to make amendments.

Thank you to all who contributed to getting this problem solved.

Appreciated

Tony

Hi, I’m having a similar issue here. Since adding .htaccess files to the server for the HTTPS to be accessed, the Google Maps that were in place have now vanished. I am using the standard Google Maps action, with an API key in the api field. Does anyone know what could get the maps back again?

Check in your browser’s Developer Tools, in the Resources tab. See if any of the elements of your page, particularly scripts, are listed in red. The error I imagine you are seeing is related to referencing scripts from a foreign server (any server not your own) through a non-secure protocol (https) when in the context of an otherwise secure (https) page. You cannot load non-secure protocols in the middle of a secure page.

If thats the actual error, to fix it you’ll need to change your google maps script urls to https. I don’t know if there’s an option for that in the Google Maps Action, but that’s where I would make that change. Otherwise, you’ll have to do it manually using a text editor after publishing in Freeway and before uploading (through a third-party SFTP application) to your server. You’ll have to repeat this step each time you publish, because Freeway will overwrite the changes you make with the text editor.

Thanks for that Walter. This is exactly what’s happened. I’ll sort it out now. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

Could I go back to the beginning? I’ve opened a Google account so that I can obtain an API key. Now I have an account I can’t for the life of me make out how to get the code. Could someone help please.
