Why isn't the google map appearing?

I don't have any leading zero's in Settings.php for the Lat and Long. I've read that may cause the problem but not in my case.

Ryan,

Why don't you post your wxquake.php file so we can look at it? Someone here may spot the problem.

cospringswx · « **Reply #3 on:** February 24, 2013, 05:52:38 PM »

Here it is.

Ryan,

I just loaded your wxquake.php file onto my server and it works perfectly using my set of templates. So, I suspect your problem may be with one of the other files that get called by the quake routine. Here is your file loading on my website:

http://carsonvalleyweather.com/wxquake-RYAN.php

and, for comparison, my wxquake file. The only difference between the two files is the "distance" setting. Mine is set at 500 miles, yours at 1000 miles.

http://carsonvalleyweather.com/wxquake.php

Thus, it has to be some other code such as the json-quzke.php file. I've attached a zip copy of mine to this post for you to compare entries.

I put your json-quake.php on my server and still no map. Hmm

What are all the files needed for this to work?

cospringswx · « **Reply #7 on:** February 24, 2013, 09:10:17 PM »

Is this the correct file that is needed for the map?

http://hayskansasweather.com/quake-json.js

Is this line correct?

Code: [Select]

   <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&amp;language=<?php echo $lang; ?>" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="quake-json.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>

Ryan,

I compared your quake-json.js file with mine and they are identical. And, the code you posted above, also matches what I have. The wxquake.php file does call other routines when it runs so the problem may be elsewhere in your code. The includes I find in the wxquake.php for my site are as follows:

require_once("Settings.php");
require_once("common.php");
include("top.php");
include("header.php");
include("menubar.php");
include_once("quake-json.php");
include("footer.php");

I'm wondering if it could be your Settings.php file causing the problem. That is the only one that would impact the mapping content on your quake page. I've attached a zipped copy of mine although it will be different for yours.

If this doesn't show somethign perhaps Ken (Saratoga Wx) can find the problem...

Looking at you wxquake.php page, I see a JavaScript error that is causing the issue

Quote

Timestamp: 2/25/2013 11:47:35 AM
Error: SyntaxError: missing name after . operator
Source File: http://hayskansasweather.com/wxquake.php
Line: 799, Column: 58
Source Code:
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(38.899998,-99.299998.);

It is likely caused by the trailing . (period) in Settings.php

Code: [Select]

$SITE['longitude']        = '-99.299998.';  //East=positive, West=negative decimal degrees

Change that to

Code: [Select]

$SITE['longitude']        = '-99.299998';  //East=positive, West=negative decimal degrees

and the map should work for you.

Best regards,
Ken

Ken you are a mastermind as that solved the problem. Just amazes me that something so simple as a period would make it not work! Don thanks for your assistance as well!

Yes, Ken is a master at this stuff.

Just wish I could learn PHP and JAVASCRIPT like he has. Dabbling, as I do, just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to finding these kinds of errors. However, we were getting close to the problem with the Settings.php file albeit a bit slower than Ken.

Looks great now...

You're welcome!

JavaScript is very sensitive to syntax errors and tends to just stop all execution of JavaScript on the page when an error is detected.

At least, when PHP encounters an error, it generally posts a message highlighting where the issue is.. Only the JavaScript console on your browser would contain the location of the issue .. I'd used Firefox and the error console showed where the issue was. Since that value comes from PHP, it was simple to isolate it to a small problem with the Settings.php entry involved.

Best regards,
Ken

Men have been trying to figure out that problem since Adam and Eve.

That was my first thought as well but I wasn't going to say anything.
