[Xerte-dev] Re: Mapstraction page?

[Ron Mitchell]

Yeah I can do that although I guess it might quickly exceed the allowed hits
if used by too many so a guide to registering a replacement would be needed
but I'd like to get it working first...

 

I tried it with Fiddler and it was failing with the following:

404        HTTP      vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk
/xot/mapstraction/mxn.js?(google,%20yahoo,%20microsoft,%20openlayers)

 

The current mapstraction.htm file in the xot svn has the following:

<!--<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"
src="http://mapstraction.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/mxn.js?(google,
yahoo, microsoft, openlayers)"></script>-->

  <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="mxn.js?(google, yahoo,
microsoft, openlayers)"></script>

 

and the local file doesn't exist so I changed things so that it looks for
http://mapstraction.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/source/mxn.js and verify that
file exists but I'm still getting a blank page :-(

 

any ideas?

If you can regiter a key for an unrestricted domwan, go ahead and swap it
for the one in the file?

Hi all

I'd already exchanged one or two off-list emails with Julian about this but
I know he's busy so a few quick points/questions...

 

1. Has anyone got the mapstraction page to work in 1.8?

 

2. In my tests I was getting an api key error so have registered a key and
tested that it works with a static page. Clearly for anyone else to use this
page they will also need to register their own key although it does seem
possible to register a key without domain or IP restrictions so might be
work changing the Nottingham key in the mapstraction file to one that isn't
restricted?

 

3. Having verifies that my key works with the static page I added the same
lang and long details from the static page to the XOT LO and no longer
getting an api key error but just getting a blank white panel and no map.
Anyone got this to work or got any suggestions?

 

Cheers

Ron
