To all with the “loading map..” problem

1. holmes 11.17.06 / 6pm

   It seems like there’s a similar “loading map” problem in the Options page for ditu. I even got Safari to crash at one point.

   In which file would I usually put this if I want the map to appear inside a blog entry?

   Aloha, I’m trying to get your plugin working and have come across some problems that I figured I’d report to you. First, I wasn’t able to add my API key through wp-admin. I had to edit the code and set my API keys there. Second, at http://map.keikei.de/2006/05/03/google-maps-plugin-instructions/ you say to add the line but it should be . Other than that, awesome plugin. Keep up the good work!

   Actually, I spoke too soon. Adding that fixed the syntax error but my maps are all blank. I get the scrollbar for the map but there is no map. I thought at first maybe it was white and zoomed in but that wasn’t it. Any ideas?

   Sorry for the delay - but I was away for sometime …

   @holms - at the moment I have no idea why that happens.
   @Molli - ditu i smade to exist for its own at WP. You can make page and add the map there as a single item.
   @Brian - mhh it all sounds quite strange. In the beginning of the project I also came across these problems but they shouldnt be there anymore …

   In the next weeks I wont be able to keep track of the bugs because I have a lot of other things to do, but as soon as find a some time I will have look into the problems and hope to release a new version of ditu.

   cheers and thanks for your comments

   Hello,

   I would like to include a Google Map on my page and installed the plugin as stated in the README file. Nevertheless I am absolutely unable to include and update the API key, as I am always getting the error message that this API key has been registererd for another website already. I have no idea how this can be possible? The API code was generated for my domain. How can somebody else using it?

   I appreciate any help.

   Thank you.

   Kind regards,
   Cornelia

   Hi Cornelia,

   I just visited your HP but couldnt find any code. And your Website doesnt look like WP (in the source). Do you use Wordpress? If yes - could you make a “page” and add the ditu_map() into the template. As soon as I can see how the map should be generated I can see or find teh bug.

   Thanks
   Kalle

   Hi Kalle,

   You are totally right. My webpage is still static and I still did not modified the .htaccess. Nevertheless Wordpress is already installed on my server. I have copied the three files ‘ditu.php’, ‘ditu_core.php’ and ‘ditu_cms.php ‘ into a folder named ‘dito’ under /wp-content/plugins/. I copied the file ‘ditu_rss.php’ to the toplevel folder. After that, I activated the plugin into the Admin panel and I have created a post with the following line:
   ditu_map();

   I am always getting the message, that my key is already in use for another domain (no idea how that is possible) and whenever I am going from one page to another, a window is coming up, with the message, that my key is alreday in use and that I have to create another one (what I have tried, but I am always getting the same key from Google API).

   The code ‘ditu_map();’ is directly displayed in the posting and does not show up any map.

   You can see it here:

   Thank you very much for your help.

   Kind regards,

   Hi Cornelia,

   I looked through your code - the link you posted here. And I cannot find the Javascript which is needed to run ditu. But I see other Javascripts which are using the Google Maps API, perhaps you have activated another mapping plugin, too? And as written here in the post, the ditu map only works when you enter the ditu_map(); into a template.

   You create a Wordpress “Page”-Template and you add then there <?php ditu_map(); ?>. With this the map should work. You can also add ditu_map(); in the header.php or footer.php where ever you want, but not into a post.
   And you have writte that you puttedt ditu in a folder named “dito” - thats also not that good

   In general the plugin isnt written to work in posts - it is more or less another way of browsing through your posts. (The other way around, not like: “I was here and here - have look!”, more like: “Here! This is a nice place where I did …”)

   Hope it helped. I am not online in the next weeks - sorry.

   cheers Kalle

    Thank you very much Kalle.

    My questions are now: The folder named ‘dito’ was an ortographic error. I named it ‘ditu’. I understand, that the files has to be into a folder. Is that wright or wrong? Does I have to copy them directly into the /wp-content/plugins folder or into an folder called ‘ditu’?

    The other cuestion is: Where do I have to put the Javascript and where do I find it? In the file I downloaded I only could find .php files and no .js? Is that right?

    Thank you for all your help.

    Kind regards,
    Cornelia
