Googlemaps not working

[Dyl1103]

Hello!

 

Been out of the php_VMS game for a long time. Recently got back into it. The Live Map on our home page (www.flyhighva.net) is just showing a the white screen, and the Live Flights page itself doesn't load anything (http://flyhighva.net/index.php/ACARS) (did not work on crystal skin, either). Will not load after refresh.

 

I've went through this forum 3 or 4 times over, and went through the thread below, and followed all suggestions. Even checked the console (https://prnt.sc/utrt7v)

 

Running phpVMS version 5.5x (simpilot). The Google map in the admin center is working (when clicking "view route" on PIREPs) but not on the front page.

 

 

This is the only thing on the site that isn't working (so far that I've found...) and I've been at this for 2 days now, so I figured i'd ask for some help.

 

Thanks!

Well, on an up note, the map does display on the PIREPS pages - http://flyhighva.net/index.php/pireps/view/3

 

It appears you haven't gotten the Google Maps API key installed though.

 

What PHP version?

What version of MySQL or MariaDB are you using?

 

Many of us have converted to Leaflet/OSM maps. There is a sticky thread with instructions to convert.

 

Additionally, I suggest you contact the developer of the skyBlue skin (209 Studios) as he may have some insight for you too.

PHP version: 7.3.6

mySQL version:  libmysql - 5.6.43

 

I have pasted the API key, and this is the line of code for that: 

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=myapicodehere"</script>

and have also tried:

 

<script async defer src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=mykeyhere" type="text/javascript"></script>

After I posted, I found the Leaflet/OSM maps on github. Gonna give that a go tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!

I think your biggest issue is using PHP 7.3 - phpVMS 5.5.2 is meant to run on PHP 5.5 and 5.6. You will have issues with it on other PHP versions. Check in cPanel if your host allows setting any other PHP versions than 7.3.

 

If host allows PHP 5.5 or 5.6, switch the phpVMS install to that.

If host allows PHP 7.0 - 7.2, use phpVMS 5.5.2.72.

If only PHP 7.3 or higher, wait until the release of phpVMS v7.

 

I would guess the entire hosting package defaults to PHP 7.3, but other versions are available.Look for MultiPHP Manager in cPanel.

Thanks! I've changed to PHP 5.5 still didn't work, but we've replaced the live map with a flight board instead. No worries. Thanks for the assist!

Glad you got it (mostly) working. You can convert to Leaflet/OSM maps. Maybe 209 Studios can help you set that up on their skin.
