Extension talk:Google Maps/Installation

'''The Server seems to be continously down. Can anyone probably upload this to a mediawiki-resource? Would be great!'''

What Maps API Key?
At http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html there are more than one Map API's to choose from, some do not require keys and some do. What is the appropriate key to get?

Use Java V2, at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/ and it works well.

I can't get any key at that page.

FCK editor?
I am using MW 1.10.1 with the integration of FCKeditor. I don't see the edit map button showing up. How can I edit this extension to show the button with this editor?

Terrain ??
Extension is great. Any idea how to get "terrain" button also in the extension?

PHP warnings in 0.9
I just installed 0.9, and I get this at the top of every page, including those that do not have maps:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name].

I'm not sure if this is a bug in the script or some extra configuration I need to do. The last two warnings in particular have me most concerned. I'm a little new to wikis, having just set one up a few weeks ago, so I'm not entirely sure how to proceed.

 * Temporary solution:
 * Just go ahead and remove the leading "&" sign on the parameters in the function calls at the stated lines (line 401 in GoogleMaps.body.php and line 43 in SpecialGoogleMapsKML.php).


 * Worked perfectly -- thanks! Jangell 11:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I get a similar error

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\wiki\extensions\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.body.php on line 402 Tried to remove the & characters from the line but it doesn't hel. Any advice? I'm using MW 1.6 with php 5 and php 4 (development and actual server). Thank you 109.186.66.216 17:02, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Google Right for specific users?
Is there a setting for LocalSetting.php to allow only specific users to use the Google Map Editor? --TurboKanne 09:41, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * you can simply protect the page which the map is on. Okip 00:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
