Special:MapEditor Failing to Load

[JasonJones23]

MapEditor is giving an error are you aware of this?
Oops! Something went wrong.
This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

I am using Maps 3.7.0

[JeroenDeDauw]

Loading fine at http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:MapEditor

Do the regular embedded maps on your wiki work?

[JasonJones23]

I use OSM for maps and they show fine on my pages but when I visit Special:MapEditor I get this as shown on attached screenshot

[JeroenDeDauw]

I guess Google Maps is not set up correctly on your wiki then. Which might not be possible to do with 3.7 due to #179

You could use the latest development version of Maps, or wait for 3.8, which we really ought to release anyway #210

[JasonJones23]

How do I install the developer version as php composer.phar require mediawiki/maps "*" only gives 3.7 version

[JeroenDeDauw]

Use @devinstead of *

[JasonJones23]

i did that, now all i get is a blank white page when try and load mapeditor

[JeroenDeDauw]

Completely blank? That's not a good sign,,,

Maps 3.8 has been released now, so you can switch back to using a stable version.

Also see https://github.com/JeroenDeDauw/Maps/blob/master/INSTALL.md#configuration, since you need to have the key set to use the map editor. However if nothing is showing at all I suspect there is another issue as well.

[JasonJones23]

updated and still the same

You are getting a MissingKeyMapError, you need to set the api key.

[JeroenDeDauw]

Would be good to give the user some hint that they need to set the key when this happens. New issue: #222

[JasonJones23]

Peter, just a pity no one mentioned a key was needed in the previous messages
it is now working

[JeroenDeDauw]

What do you mean? I said so and included the same link...
