| [18:10:54] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Hello! |
| [18:10:54] | <farmBOT> | privet |
| [18:10:54] | <farmBOT> | Hello! |
| [18:11:05] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Quick Question |
| [18:11:53] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I am working on an install of farmOS and when I load the site, I get a pop up that says "This page was unable to display a Google Maps Element...." |
| [18:12:37] | <mstenta> | Hi SCDrupalGuy |
| [18:12:44] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I included the Google Maps API Key in the geocoder settings |
| [18:12:59] | <mstenta> | Ah ok... I was going to mention the API key |
| [18:13:02] | <SCDrupalGuy> | but I still get the popup and no map. Am I missing something |
| [18:13:03] | <mstenta> | Where did you include it? |
| [18:13:25] | <mstenta> | (can you paste the URL path? not the full domain, just the path part) |
| [18:13:33] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I included it at admin/config/content/geocoder |
| [18:14:15] | <mstenta> | One moment... I'm looking up the correct path... |
| [18:15:31] | <SCDrupalGuy> | If I get disconnected, I apologize. Huge thunderstorm passing through the Aiken, SC area right now. |
| [18:15:42] | <mstenta> | go to admin/structure/openlayers/sources/list/farm_map_source_google_hybrid/edit/options |
| [18:15:54] | <mstenta> | you will need to enable the Openlayers UI module to get there |
| [18:16:23] | <mstenta> | this is a new issue... Google has started requiring an API key for any software using their layers |
| [18:17:01] | <mstenta> | it's an unfortunate extra step in the setup process, that has not been documented yet |
| [18:17:49] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I see that. Thanks for the help. Implementing it now |
| [18:18:35] | <mstenta> | The admin/config/content/geocoder path is a different piece of configuration... I'm not actually sure if that's required. |
| [18:19:02] | <mstenta> | In farmOS, we use the Geocoder module for processing uploaded KML files into Farm Area shapes |
| [18:19:22] | <mstenta> | I was testing that a bunch recently, and I didn't have an API key - so it may not need one. |
| [18:20:12] | <mstenta> | But then again, when they made the change to the map layer API - they grandfathered anyone who was using the API before the announcement, so anyone who installed it before then didn't need an API key |
| [18:20:17] | <mstenta> | I'm not sure if the same is true of Geocoding |
| [18:20:46] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Do I need the Client and Channel info too? I am still getting the popup |
| [18:20:54] | <mstenta> | Nope - just the "Key" |
| [18:21:10] | <mstenta> | Try clearing your cache - not sure if that's necessary, but always worth a shot |
| [18:21:23] | <mstenta> | If that doesn't work, can you paste the exact popup message? |
| [18:22:57] | <mstenta> | Oh... the other thing to confirm: Did you enable "Google Maps Javascript API" in your google settings after you created an API key? |
| [18:24:54] | <mstenta> | I think this is the URL for doing that: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/maps_backend/overview |
| [18:25:01] | <mstenta> | There's a little "Enable" button at the top |
| [18:26:03] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Ha! |
| [18:26:05] | <SCDrupalGuy> | That worked |
| [18:26:09] | <mstenta> | Great :-) |
| [18:26:14] | <mstenta> | The "enable" button? |
| [18:26:18] | <mstenta> | Or the cache clear? |
| [18:26:21] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I am not sure how I missed that. Yes the enable button |
| [18:26:29] | <mstenta> | Ah yea - I missed it too the first time. |
| [18:26:41] | <mstenta> | Need to document that on docs.farmos.org |
| [18:26:43] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I have used Open Layers / Google Maps for years in project, but I guess never on my personal account lol |
| [18:27:01] | <mstenta> | Yea me too... they just started enforcing the API keys recently |
| [18:27:10] | <mstenta> | Like a week ago or so |
| [18:27:33] | <mstenta> | Trying to find the exact date... can't |
| [18:28:10] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Well I am an ex-drupal dev. I moved on to technical writing, specifically electrical engineering documentation, projects, tutorials, etc for Element14.com So I am hoping I can contribute some stuff with the sensors module |
| [18:28:22] | <mstenta> | Awesome! |
| [18:28:48] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Are you a drupal dev? |
| [18:29:08] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Do you know Will Jackson? I know he knows someone from the FarmOS project. |
| [18:30:38] | <mstenta> | Yep, I'm the lead dev of farmOS :-) |
| [18:30:49] | <mstenta> | Not sure if I've met Will... |
| [18:34:58] | <SCDrupalGuy> | ahh ok. We both worked for New Valley Media, but he has moved on to Kanopi. Anyways, thanks for the help, and once I wrap my head around how the sensors stuff works, I am sure I will be in touch. I am currently working on a garden monitoring suite which is controlled by a Raspberry Pi. So I am hoping I can tie all of that into this. Also will be using this to manage our hobby farm! |
| [18:35:36] | <mstenta> | Great! Ping me if you have any questions - I did a bunch of work on the sensor modules during the 7.x-1.0-beta12 cycle |
| [18:36:01] | <mstenta> | Still a lot to do though :-) |
| [18:37:02] | <mstenta> | FYI: https://www.drupal.org/node/2768895 |
| [18:37:43] | <mstenta> | Not sure if that's exactly right... feel free to comment/edit |
| [18:38:11] | <mstenta> | We should get it pushed up to docs.farmos.org to help others |
| [18:38:17] | <SCDrupalGuy> | Im sure I will have some questions. I should be getting started on it in a week or two. Still working on the base article for element14. |
| [18:39:43] | <SCDrupalGuy> | I left a comment. Thanks again for the help. |
