Hi all,

We are having issues displaying Google maps on our site (maps display with "For development purposes only" watermark) and we are seeing the following in the browser console

      util.js:224 Google Maps JavaScript API warning: NoApiKeys https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys

My client has provided an API key from their Google Cloud account and I have added this to the API section in Mojoportal as well as the <add key="GoogleMapsAPIKey" value=".... section in the web.config for the site but the issue persists.

I also installed the Google API checker chrome extension and it reports the following

      Maps Platform Report

      ERROR: This site doesn't seem to be using an API key. Keyless usage will soon be deprecated. Please set up and secure a key for your project.

Am i missing any steps or has anyone else seen similar issues that can offer help?

This used to work fine but I appreciate that Google changed their API licensing approach which I guess has caused this.

Regards

Andy

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the update, I appreciate it.

Just checked and this is Version 2.4.0.4 MSSQL of MP..............so..................uh............old :)

We inherited support for this and the Google change has literally killed the main purpose of the site for the customer which isnt good so I am going to have to try and fast track this upgrade and would hope to be able to just use the API key to remove any development if possible.

So if we jump to 2.7 at the very least you think that would do what we want?

Don't want to seem n00b (well, I am I guess) but is the upgrade a straightforward one i.e. run an exe etc?

Cheers

Andy

Hey Joe,

Sorry to bother again, just to confirm..........version 2.7 should resolve the API key issue (we have one from the customer) through inputting it into the administration API area?

Regards

Andy

Hey Joe,

Hope you had a good Christmas and NY :)

I have managed to run the upgrade scripts against one of our test servers for this solution and while the site initially looks to work fine, I am seeing the occasional blip in functionality around mapping. I haven't even got near the Google API issue yet

The error we are seeing is as below.

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions that might help?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the reply.

This is specifically an area that is not part of the base MojoPortal solution but a piece of dev work to add a control to it that filters some values in a JavaScript data table.

However, it works absolutely fine when the solution is using MP 2.4 (the previous version) and breaks with the "<pages enableEventValidation=" error previously mentioned after MP is upgraded to version 2.7 so I am trying to work out what has changed within MP that would cause that issue.

The site works absolutely fine when accessed over http but only displays the issue when accessed using https (as it will be on live)

Again, on MP 2.4 this works fine

Regards

Andy

Hi Joe,

Are you able to offer some assistance on the above please?

Regards

Andy
