Re: Google Maps Needs API KEY?

For anyone else finding this thread I have come accross the same issue and resolved as below:

1. Chrome Developer Console was giving error to say that the maps api key was incorrect.

2. Go here to setup your key: https://developers.google.com/maps/docu … et-api-key

3. Scroll down to click "Get A Key"

4. Copy the key to settings/settings.ini.php =>

   'maps_api_key' => GENERATED_KEY,

5. Go back to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials and select your project, then "credentials" from the left hand menu

6. Edit the API Key to add your domain in restrictions => Select http referrers and add *.example.com/* (Changing to your domain)

I know this doesn't solve why the maps don't show, but as least it gets them up and running.

Re: Google Maps Needs API KEY?

This issue is fixed in new version. User can define API key directly in back office.

Maybe a screen can help.
I do not see any issue on current 2.99 version.

Do you see the map on the demo https://livehelperchat.com/

Re: Google Maps Needs API KEY?

Hey guys,

Maybe also my article about the most popular google problems will help people with their errors. I apologize if the link is not allowed but my only intention is to help others with the API problems.

Cheers!
