Morning;
I am using the Ocean Blue Skin for my VA.
Can anyone tell me how to find and add an API Key for the Google Map?
I have looked around in php files inside this skin and cannot find anything to where this can be edited.
Thanks
What version of phpVMS are you using?
In 5.5.2.72, there are comments in local.config on where the Google map keys go.
Add the key to core_htmlhead - in the skin folder if that file is there. Otherwise add it to core_htmlhead in /core/templates.
Thanks!!
Will take a look at it.
I have looked around and cannot find anything within the skin or else where to enter an API Key.
This is my local.config:

search in lib/skins/*skin_name*/core_htmlhead the line:
\<script type="text/javascript" src=http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?\>\</script\>
and replace with this:
\<script src="//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=\*APIKEY\*&callback=initialize"\>\</script\>
change *APIKEY* with your API key and will work.
You may not necessarily need the ‘&callback=initialize’ part. I suggest you check your browser console for any errors.
I would suggest adding https: to the line PSD suggested above.
Here is the code from version 5.5.2.72 - key goes where YOUR_API_KEY_HERE is.
\<!-- \* Add Google Maps API key to next line. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key --\> \<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR\_API\_KEY\_HERE"\>\</script\>
Hmmmm
Thanks for replying ProAvia
It seems, every time I edit the line, I either get “Oops Something Went Wrong” or get the same previous message “For Developers Purposes Only” and asked if I own the website; which I do.
Must be doing something wrong.

Now Google API is a payware service (you will have some request for free but not for all), I suggest use OSM.
Go to the Google link inmy last post. You can register for an API key there. Youwill need toprovide credit card info, but they give you a $200 credit every month toward API usage. I have never used over $20 of that credit.
Your other option is to convert to OSM/Leaflet maps. There is a sticky post in this forum.
EDIT - here you go…
//forum.phpvms.net/applications/core/interface/index.html
Okay, tried different things and even tried installing CrazyCreatives Flight Tracker and Partner Live Map.
Now, I get blank screen on home page of Ocean Blue Skin for the Live Flight Tracker and blank screen on the Live Map page.
Have no glue how to fix it.
Tried copying all default Ocean Blue files back in but can’t figure it out.
Am missing something somewhere.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Never mind, closed out my browser then reopened it and the default acars map is in place with “For Development Purpose Only” on map.
Will leave it there.
Royal pain to get rid of.
Thanks
