    Default google maps demanding different key

    I have edited my tpl_main_page.php, and tpl_contact_us_default.php to present a google map, changed the lat and long., and put in the API key given by my google account where YOUR_API_KEY_HERE showed in the tpl_contact_us_default.php file.

    When I open the page at
    http://enterprise.terrassl.net/~call...ontact_us.html

    I get an error message saying
    This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/.

    Has anyone else had this difficulty, and can you suggest what Im doing wrong?

    Default Re: google maps demanding different key

    I have generated and installed a new key using a web site address of
    http://enterprise.terrassl.net/~callanan/
    instead of www.callananreclamation.co.uk,
    and the error message demanding a new key has gone, but now nothing appears in the div box.
    Any help appreciated

    Default Re: google maps demanding different key

    Ok folks...dont waste time on this enquiry..Ive abandoned this particular route to adding a google map to the contacts page.
    (it came from
    http://www.zenflavor.com/add-google-...tact-page.html )
    I also looked at Mapinator, which had the unhelpul instruction "Run the configuration.sql", a file which came as part of the download.
    I have NO idea how or where to "run" a .sql file so I abandoned that route as well.

    If anyone knows of a user friendly way to add a google map to the contacts page, PLEASE contact me.
    Since thousands of Zen installers must want to do this surely theres a way that an average user can use?

    I see that the zenflavor.com google maps code is working on your site now. Is it earlier you did not enter the Google API key for the correct domain?
