marker locator not showing - 2008/01/02 16:20
is the marker locator supposed to 'just show up' or do i have to do something special in order to see a map?
i do have latitude + longitude values in place, but the area stays blank.
any help appreciated

Steve,
I am assuming you are referring to the marker locator when creating a marker on the backend. The marker locator should show up with some default location in the U.S. You can then geocode the lat/long with the "geocode field".
If it is not showing up, then did you receive an API key error? If not, can you tell if there is a javascript error showing up in the browser (debugging with FF w/FireBUG is the simplest)?
Does a map appear on the front-end?
Shoot me an email and I can help fix this for you. I may need to see the error first hand to resolve. Honestly, this is not a behavior I've seen that often, if at all.

chris,
your quite right - its in the backend.
i can see the the map up front
like this one
but nothing shows up in the backend.
i've installed firebug (nifty little tool hey) but i dont quite know, which part you want to look at.

could you post or email me a screen image of what you are seeing?
If firebug is active and if there is a javascript error, you should see an error notice in red in the lower right hand corner of FF.

No bother. I believe I replied to your email. Just to restate ... there have been occurances where the SCRIPT tag that includes the Google API key isn't added to the HEAD of the web page. This is your problem. Why? I am not sure. The reason I don't get this is because the same code that generates the maps on the front-end generates the marker as well ... just different map properties. I've seen in some of the Joomla forums about issues with the addCustomHeadTag function not working properly so something is triggering the issue .. but I don't know why.
THe work around is to add the following to the index.php file in your administrator template:
| Code: |
<script src=\"http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key={YOUR GOOGLE API KEY GOES HERE} type=\"text/javascript\"></script>"??);
|
I will record this as a bug for future reference but not sure if we can actually fix the issue. So long as this work around works, you should be okay.
Let me know.

Check your email. Each template, front-end or back-end, should have an index.php in the specific templates folder.
