Since the php.ini way didn’t go my way, I tried to edit the 158 line from:
$csv = file_get_contents($request_url) or die(“url not loading”);
…to what we have on line 157:
$csv = “http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=csv&key=”.$wpgmgapikey.”&q=” . urlencode($address) or die(“url not loading”);

No error when saving after that!

However, now when I view a page with [showmap] I get same problem as ChrisJ above.

} // display a warning if the browser was not compatible else { alert(“Sorry, the Google Maps API is not compatible with this browser”); } var ge; function getEarthInstanceCB(pluginInstance) { ge = pluginInstance; // you can now manipulate ge using the full Google Earth API. } //]]>

And of course, I’ve tried it in several browsers.

@Karl sorry to digress from your great plug-in, hope you don’t mind.

cheers,

Darren

I finally went ahead and upgraded from the first release and noticed there might be a geocoding error that occurs, due to a possible problem in the new code.

Check out line 149 in geocoder.php and see if the variable $street is actually asking for the wrong meta data from WP ($address) — as all my posts are ending up with incorrect lat/lng as of the 1.1 release.

I’ll download the 1.2 and see if the same problem occurs.

Thanks,

Michael

What’s the best way to map out distance between two points for example, the post address and my house with your plug-in? Thanks for all the work!

Any ideas why?

Thanks.

I saw that Darren was able to accomplish that on his site: http://www.homes-interiors.com/pages/?p=267

Thanks.
