I think there is some problem going on with the google map service. Previously I had a satelite map of Cancun in my blog post about going on vacation. Yesterday or the day before I took it down because there was some problem at gogle maps and it was making my page extremly slow to load and then the map was blank. Now after reading your bug report, I checked the google map feature on this site and its showing the same symptom you described. Initially I thought ok, maybe I introduced a last minute bug. but when I visit the main google maps site and try to get a satellite map of Cancun, it doesn't work there either. In fact when I try to get a satelite map of my home address on google maps it no longer works. I can get a street map.

So something is wrong at google maps and it will likely heal itself when they fix the problem on their end.

Hi,

I was able to track down the problem and fix it here. I will release a fixed version in the next few days. The problem was a bug that was causing the div which contains a map not to have a width and height style rendered so it effectively has 0 height and therefore becomes invisible.

There is still a problem with the google map service, but only for Satelite view. This was causing me to think the general problem was with the service, but after you said that reverting to the previous version of mojoPortal solved it, I tried the demo site which is running an older version and sure enough the map works there albeit the satellite view doesn't work. So after more investigation I discovered the width/height not rendering issue as the main cause of trouble. Fixing that got the maps working again here locally.

Best,

Joe

This is now fixed n mojoPortal 2.2.5.1

Thanks,

Joe
