I'm fixing this in the next release to a certain extend:

- prevent activation unless a valid key is present
- pre-fill values for servername and port
- provide link to the google website to register correct key (default)

=> This should get most people the key they need to get the site working, for more advanced key, the user guide will have more information.

In the mean time, if you wish to get help on this, you need to provide a link to the website so we can tell you what to fill :-)

See you !

Try this:

Thank you for signing up for a Google Maps API key. Your key is:
ABQIAAAAdrry9LB5TGsWS3k7A8TFpxRi4jlObjBU5TYBgqoYBolIDZvlDhRW7j1B57fzRX_fOkjxrhR2wuLLvw

This key is good for all URLs in this directory:
http://www.nativelinks.ca/

Here is an example web page to get you started on your way to mapping glory:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=1&key=ABQIAAAAdrry9LB5TGsWS3k7A8TFpxRi4jlObjBU5TYBgqoYBolIDZvlDhRW7j1B57fzRX_fOkjxrhR2wuLLvw" type="text/javascript"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="map" style="width: 500px; height: 400px"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    //<![CDATA[
    
    var map = new GMap(document.getElementById("map"));
    map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
    map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(-122.1419, 37.4419), 4);
    
    //]]>
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

I guess you can also create a profile with these info:

Name whatever
server name www.nativelinks.ca
Port 80
key ABQIAAAAdrry9LB5TGsWS3k7A8TFpxRi4jlObjBU5TYBgqoYBolIDZvlDhRW7j1B57fzRX_fOkjxrhR2wuLLvw

See you

Hi All,

I also get the problem of keeping key error. I am using no-ip.org domain. And I get a dynamic Ip from my
ISP. Previously, I need to apply http:ip:85(my isp block 80 port) for the map key and it is work. But now
it fail. My domain is http://k-one.no-ip.org/gallery2. Thanks~

Have you tried obtaining a key from Google for http://k-one.no-ip.org

Does your URL always change from the above to
http://218.102.125.47:85

Maybe try that instead.

Termite,
A possible nice thing would be to place the output of
'servername' on the "General Settings' next to the
key profile entry section?

I've actually made a change in "f" version to get the fields pre-filed with the right values but I made a tiny mistake and it's only doing it for the 1st key created.

If you delete all your keys you'll see what I'm talking about. I think I need to get that each time you click on add entry ....

dogdog, you should try deleting all of your key and then upgrading to the newer version "f" to see if it helps.

It should actually populate the fields with what will be used by google after that :-)

Well I had forgotten to answer but I found no problem with your gallery/module, in fact I can see your map fine (see screenshots)

Are you using a MAC ? If yes, there is some issue with the module on MAC and I'm working on getting them fixed :-)
