So which one would I use on this page of mine: http://stirbinatorlabs.com/wordpress/?page_id=22 ? I have my Forum in an iframe on my WP page so I'm not sure which URL to capture for google. I've tried inputting a few into the google maps API generator with the same results:
stirbinatorlabs.com
stirbinatorlabs.com/wordpress
stirbinatorlabs.com/wordpress/Vanilla-1.1.2
These all give me the error that "The Google Maps API key used on this web site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/."
Have any suggestions on the URL I should use?
In the default.php, am I putting the API key in the correct place?
// THESE ARE YOUR BASIC SETTINGS
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'GOOGLEMAPDIRECTORY_TABPOSITION','25');
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'GOOGLEMAPDIRECTORY_TABNAME','GoogleMapDirectory');
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'GOOGLEMAPDIRECTORY_KEY','I paste the API key here');
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'GOOGLEMAPDIRECTORY_CATEGORIES','General,Restaurant,Shop');
AddConfigurationSetting($Context, 'GOOGLEMAPDIRECTORY_HEIGHT','300');
Thanks for looking!
I see, so maybe I'll keep a lookout for more updates on this thing, but for the meantime it seems that I won't be able to use this awesome plug-in. Here's for hoping though! Thanks for the help, Jim!
So It seems this plugin does not work with friendly url and the new version of vanilla, any plan on releasing a new version, I thought it was just me but the things that I found not to work were:
1. adding location (friendly url doesnt like it)
2. the little up and down zoom things do not appear
3. and adding a location doesn't append to the map
This is such an amazing extension thanks for all your work so far!
Does anyone know of a way to link to a specific pinpoint from another page or discussion (i.e. not by clicking on the links at the bottom of the map page)? Is it possible to go to the map page and select a pinpoint all with one click?
Thanks jimw, but that's not exactly what I would like. Say your dropdown was on another page - like within a discussion - is there a way to get it to load the map page, then pinpoint the location all at once?
@skube, first it's not my script. It is one of the examples I found on Google in the mapping area. You want to be able to generate some geo data when someone clicks on a link in a discussion and then pass that to the Google Map page so that the map will be generated with your location. Making that kind of add-on is beyond my skills at this point.
I might come back and take another look at this c.February. I realise its not a perfect implementation but I put it out to the community hoping for someone to help develop it. Seems its just annoyed people when it hasn't work first time. I'll start with Friendly URL's, as I suspect that may be causing a lot of the fundamental issues of not storing markers? Then hopefully move onto ironing out the RoleID error.
I detect a few on this thread are far better coders than me, any tips or links that might cover where these areas are going wrong, please do enlighten me.

This setup seems to work for me.
@Wanderer, thanks.
