: Google Map not working in the "Where?" section
: finalstr December 27, 2016, 03:13:58 PM
I have edited the address in the S5 Map It With Google module but it continues to tell me "Oops! Something went wrong. This page didn't load Google Maps correctly." Am I missing something, or is the address pulled from a different location?

EDIT: I realize the map isn't showing up because Google now requires a Maps API Key for anything activated after June 22nd, 2016. I now have an API Key, where would I need to put that so the map would function properly? I didn't see anything in the plugins that looked correct.

EDIT #2:
I figured it out. I just had to place a script into the index.php with my API Key to get it working again. Here's what I did if anyone else has the same issue.

1) Get a Maps API Key for your site from Google: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
2) Add this script into the body of your index.php (replace the YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with the key you got in step 1):
    <script async defer
    src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&callback=initMap">
    </script>
3) All done, enjoy the map.

Hello,

We actually updated the downloads recently and it includes a spot now in the map it module to add in your API key.

Where exactly is this option in the module?  I downloaded the newest module and don't see anywhere to enter my API key.

Be sure to uninstall your old version and then install the new one. Its at the bottom, the last option in the settings for it.

Hello Karen,

It looks like its working when I just checked your site. The map is loading it just doesn't have a marker on it. Be sure that you didn't enter a marker image in the admin that isn't in the specified location. You can just leave that field empty and save and it will show our default map marker.
