Google Mapinator

[High Octane]

I have installed this on ZenCart v1.3.7 and it works great!
Thank You :o)

I did have a discrepancy in the instructions.

"3. Add the following code to your define_contact_us.php
this is usually located in includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATE/define_contact_us.php"

For me at least it should read...

"3. Add the following code to your define_contact_us.php
this is usually located in includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOURTEMPLATE/define_contact_us.php"

Other than that, Everything else was correct, and it is probably due to different versions having different file structures.
I'm posting this to help others who's file structure is like mine, so they install it correctly.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Just a quick update. I got a new API for xxx/store and it still says that the API code is used by another site.

Does anyone know why it is doing this?

Cheers.

I am also receiving this error message. The funny thing is, everything works fine on my localhost (running Apache), but when I test this on my live server (IIS 6) I get the error message.

Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

Also, my Contact Us page uses SSL. Is there a way to use SSL with Google Maps (to make all the objects on the Contact Us page secure)?

Thanks in advance! :)

Finally I've managed to solve my problem. I edited the code a little and everything is now working fine.

The final code I'm using is listed below. Hopefully it'll help someone else out.

Hi, I found it was easier to use this link
http://www.wikimapia.org
and just copy and paste the code into the contact us page. I can mark places and change it easily any time I like.

I hope it helps others too.

Question:

I got this working fine, but it lacks the info I really want that Google Maps usually places about the business.

See this link and how the balloon has a pic of the business, link to reviews and more:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=e...3&iwloc=A&om=1

Now, on our contact page it just has the basic balloon with the address and phone. How do i get what's in the above link into my map on the contact page?

our current contact page: http://atthemeadow.com/shop/index.php?main_page=contact_us

I got all these errors with the form [code] Sorry, is your name correct? Our system requires a minimum of 2 characters. Please try again.

Sorry, my system does not understand your email address. Please try again.

Did you forget your message? We would like to hear from you. You can type your comments in the text area below.

I am also getting these errors. I wasn't at first, and it would take me to Google Maps although it didn't not give me driving directions (then I noticed in the code it had a spot to enter the store's address)...now when I hit "get directions" it is giving me errors like I tried to send a message via the contact us form.

I'll play around a bit and see if I can't figure it out...but I'm not sure if I messed up the code or if it's because of all the customizing I did on the Contact Us page...

[khopek]

ok so I had to make sure the code that calls for the html_define was below the </form> at the bottom of the page. Now the driving directions button seems to work...but is it supposed to actually give you driving directions? I'm having to input the ending address (store's address) again at the Google Maps website...

Hi

I cannot get this mod to work:
I have the API key, I have long and lat. I have entered the html code into the conatct us page using the define pages editor and still no map just the outer border.
I get no error message and it doesn't work in any browsers!

Help

Hi Dave,

Not sure if this will fix things, but your body tag output is incorrect.

It currently reads (at the end):

onunload=GUnload()">

I beleive that this should read:

onunload="GUnload()">

Try changing that and see what happens.

Good luck! :)
