Blank Map In Live View

Blank Map In Live View

Hi There

I know this topic is a common theme but I am having difficulty viewing the required google map, place markers etc from a recordset driven by a search from the following page: -

map-search.php

Everything works on localhost without any problems and I have made sure that I have uploaded everything to the server etc but, as seen by the following results page, the map is blank: -

map-search-results.php?region=West+Midlands&county=West+Midlands&submit=View+Venues

I am a complete web design novice and so if anyone could shed any light on the issue I would be most grateful.

Also - I know that the above search returns records in the recordset and works on localhost. However if you perform another search resulting in a blank recordset then I get a Javascript error. Does the dynamic function not supprt a blank recordset?

Regards

Darren

When i load your map, it gives an error about the google api key.the code for the api key is:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=[ABQIAAAAb8yIfRrzLUBIGTUJ_comsBTgNyTH6bIgqdkHNhvaUK2UMRkOFhRwwcoH7OtzJwDN1fLXInRWTpbu0w]">/*wagmp*/</script>




you have the api key surrounded by square brackets, these need to be removed.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAAb8yIfRrzLUBIGTUJ_comsBTgNyTH6bIgqdkHNhvaUK2UMRkOFhRwwcoH7OtzJwDN1fLXInRWTpbu0w">/*wagmp*/</script>



No, it does not suppport blank recrdsets.

Fantastic, thanks Jason that works a treat. It's always something that is staring you in the face.....

The software works really well and has added another dimension to my website. Only other issue I had was it not coping too well with large volumes of data in a recordset and hence my moving to a regionalised map. The xml cache has remained blank no matter what I try so could be back when the number of venues on the site increases.

Will build in a workaround for the blank recordset.

I managed to work around the empty recordset issue by suppressing both the header and body section that related to the google maps with: -

<?php if ($totalRows_rsmapsearch == 0) { // Show if recordset empty ?> etc etc

and

<?php if ($totalRows_rsmapsearch > 0) { // Show if recordset not empty ?> etc etc

Would be good if this (or no doubt a better solution) could be built into any updates? :)
