Re: Easy Google Maps 'Plugin' for Silverstripe
24 December 2009 at 7:18am
Hi Eric,
Not sure what the problem could be. Where does the error come from? Script? PHP? SilverStripe?
I guess I can only advice to carefully follow the steps outlined in the readme file. A common problem seems to be that people miss the fact that you have to put your API key in 2 (!!) places in the code.
Please let me know.
Cheers,
Michiel. -

Hey mike, thanks for the reply.
I guess I am just having trouble unzipping the files. I have not attempted to solve this problem since I first wrote. I am sure it is just user error. I will post again once I make it work.
Merry Christmas!

Hi Mike,
I wanted to apply your google maps module to Silverstripe 2.4. The main issue was that 2.4 no longer uses jsparty (see : http://doc.silverstripe.org/upgrading:2.4.0#removed_jsparty) which basically meant that the file structure of the installation needed to be updated.
I hope you dont' mind but I have rewritten the first part of the installation file readme.rtf file below for anyone out there who also wants to use this fantastic little gem of a module.
To install for silverstripe 2.4 use the following steps:
- Copy the 'googlemapsjs' folder to the '/sapphire/thirdparty/' directory
- Copy the 'googlemaps' folder to '/sapphire/thirdparty/tinymce/plugins' directory
- Open your 'mysite/_config.php' and add the following block:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Enable Google Maps in the CMS
// Enter you Google Mans API key here
$GMap_api_key = "API_KEY_HERE";
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->enablePlugins('googlemaps');
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->insertButtonsAfter('tablecontrols', 'googlemaps');
Requirements::javascript("sapphire/thirdparty/jquery/jquery-packed.js");
Requirements::javascript("http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=".$GMap_api_key);
Requirements::javascript("sapphire/thirdparty/googlemapsjs/mapsloader.js");// End Google Maps stuff
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Open gmapsapp.js now located in 'sapphire/thirdparty/googlemapsjs/gmapsapp.js'
and update the var scriptURL from
var scriptURL = 'jsparty/googlemapsjs/gmapsapp.js';
to
var scriptURL = 'sapphire/thirdparty/googlemapsjs/gmapsapp.js';
See the rest of the readme.rtf for final instructions and creating a Google Maps API key.
Regards,

/thirdparty/tinymce/plugins/googlemaps/googlemaps.php = /thirdparty/tinymce/plugins/googlemaps/googlemaps.html
You need to edit the html file so that the php code is removed and your google maps API key is added throughout the file.
//Remove
<?php $GMap_api_key = "API_KEY_HERE" ?>//Replace
<?php echo $GMap_api_key?> //and
<?php echo $GMap_api_key ?> //note the extra space that you might miss with search and replace//With your actual google maps API key
Lastly, if you want to hide your API key from the CMS user you can hide the API key field in:
/thirdparty/tinymce/plugins/googlemaps/googlemaps.html<fieldset style="margin-top:10px;">
<legend>API-KEY:</legend>
<div style="padding:4px">API KEY HIDDEN<input id="akey" readonly="readonly" name="akey" type="hidden" value="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" class="text" style="width:570px" /></div>
</fieldset>And finally you have to open /thirdparty/tinymce/plugins/googlemaps/editor_plugin_src.js and change
(located at line 17)
file : url + '/googlemaps.php', becomes file : url + '/googlemaps.html',
Otherwise it will continue to look for the php file that no longer exists -

Hi - downloaded the Version 3 beta and installed, added API to config.php and did /Dev/Build - no extra button in CMS toolbox. Any ideas as to where I went wrong? Thanks in advance...
<later> Always pays to read back over the thread. I'm using SilverStripe 2.4 which no longer has 'jsparty'... so I've updated the relevant paths as Kiwiot mentioned above. So I have my 'Maps' tool in Sapphire, I can enter the street address and produce a map in the CMS that can be inserted on the page... so now all I need to do is work out why I get a gray square on the page... </later>
Re-read Kiwiot's instructions... missed the following updated line in the gmapsapp.js file:
var scriptURL = sapphire/thirdparty/googlemapsjs/gmapsapp.js
Actually the original line wasn't even there... so I simply added this line of code. All sorted now thanks!

var scriptURL = 'jsparty/googlemapsjs/gmapsapp.js';
This line needs to be changed/updated in the file mapsloader.js
to:
var scriptURL = 'sapphire/thirdparty/googlemapsjs/gmapsapp.js';
Thanks for this nice module, it should be mentioned in the modules section.
