Hello folks,

I´m new to silverstripe and I can´t find a way to make google maps run in my Page Template. I tried the jquery code found on this site: http://marcgrabanski.com/article/jquery-google-maps-tutorial-basics

The code runs perfect in a single html file I created for testing. But in silverstripe FireFox reports an JS error like this:

Error: google.maps is undefined

It seems like the source for googlemaps is not visible to my site. Actually I´m not sure where to place the link to the google js. I always placed my js files that i need in the whole application in Page.php like this:

Requirements::javascript("http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=KEYHERE");

That worked for all the other files, but fails for google. Is there a special way to include external js files?

Thanks very much for your help,
Florian

ah here more Info: thats my code in my js file:

google.load("maps", "2.x");
google.load("jquery", "1.3.1");

function initGoogle(){	
    var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('map'));
    var burnsvilleMN = new GLatLng(44.797916,-93.278046);
    map.setCenter(burnsvilleMN, 8);
}

and in Page.php i have this to embed the google js and jquery:

Requirements::javascript("http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=KEYHERE");
Requirements::javascript("http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js");

The JS Error that my browser shows at the moment is:

GMap2 is not defined

So it seems my site finds google js source... but just does not know what GMap2 is.

Greetz,
Florian

this post solved my problem. after I saw that in IE googlemaps appears... the problem must have been something else:
