GMap config for 1.7
July 26, 2007, 10:46:18 am
Are there instructions somewhere for getting gmap and civicrm going in 1.7? The FAQ has something about getting the API key, but nothing else about what needs to be installed / configured to get things working.

I'm not sure I understand where the geocoding happens, and what I have to do to make it happen.

I know that 1.8 is going to change this a bit, but if there is a resource already for 1.7 I'd like to get it going sooner.
Thanks,
Colin

Instructions and link to get the Google API key for mapping on on the Mapping Provider configuration screen (mouseover the ? icon).

Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Mapping Provider

On the demo - this is:
http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/admin/setting/mapping?reset=1

The only change between 1.7 and 1.8 is the addition of a Batch Geocoding script (command line) in 1.8, and the option to enable or disabl geocoding during Import.

Thanks for the info Dave,
So I've got the mapping working when I just type in a lat and long, but when I use an address it gives me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: simplexml_load_string() in /home/www/clpp/clpp/crm/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/Geocode/Google.php on line 133

So clearly this is a geocoding issue. So what do I need to do between typing in the address and getting the mapping to work?

Thanks.

Colin:

most likely you are using a php4 webserver. Both Google and Yahoo Geocoding services in CiviCRM require PHP5

The demo link gives "access denied".

Also, there appears to be something missing in the setup instructions. I've got Drupal 5.7, civicrm-1.9.13019-drupal-php5, and gmap-5.x-1.0-alpha1 installed and configured, the Google map api key seems to work, but I don't get a map when I click on my event's map link. No errors in the apache logs and no javascript errors either:

http://beyondpracticemgmt.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=1

Is there something else that needs to be installed or configured to get the google maps working?

Thank You,
Troy

You need to login first to view the event configuration screens. User = demo Password = demo

If you've entered a Google Map API Key under Global Settings, and you're seeing a "Map this Location" link on your Event Information screen - you "should" be getting a map. What DOES happen when you click that link? I get access denied when trying to view the event page on your site.

For a working example, check this Event Info page on the demo (you'll have to zoom out a bit on the map because it's not quite a real address :-)):
