Hi all,

I'm trying to get Google maps to work on an event.  If I include the API key, I can't save the event location page or try and sign up because the server time's out.

Here's the error when I try to sign up for the event (http://habitatwpm.gingerfeet.net/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=6 - this page is no longer valid as I've removed the Google API key ):

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
Connection timed out

Return to home page.

Error Details:

Array
(
    [callback] => Array
        (
            [0] => CRM_Core_Error
            [1] => handle
        )

    [code] => 110
    [message] => Connection timed out
    [mode] => 16
    [debug_info] =>
    [type] => PEAR_Error
    [user_info] =>
    [to_string] => [pear_error: message="Connection timed out" code=110 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info=""]
)

When I remove the Google API key the event saves with a location address and I can sign up.

Maybe I'm just not clear on how this is supposed to work. From what I'm reading all I have to do to have mapping work and maps appear on my events is:

1. Add the API key to Global Settings - Mapping & Geocoding (btw, can I modify the instruction page? There's nothing about need to include the path /civicrm to the URL when you're setting up the API key. Took me a while to figure that one out!)

2. Set up my event and turn on Include Map in Event Location

3. Enter a location and save it.

Then my map should just appear on the page of the event sign up that contains my address, correct? Or am I missing a step? Some other code that needs to be added somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Not actually sure I figured this out, but it's working now!
