Google Maps: No API Key error

[Yan]

Hi,

Anybody has the same problem in the console when trying to search for a location?

Google Maps API warning: 
NoApiKeys 
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys

URL: http://hash.events/events/map/
The problem appears when trying to search a location

Hey Yan,

I am seeing the same issue in my error console, so we’ve gone ahead and created a ticket in our bug logging system. I’m not exactly sure on the impact the error is currently having, but the developers have been made aware of the issue and are prioritizing accordingly.

Thanks for reporting the issue to our forums as we’re always grateful to have the many eyes and ears of our wonderful community looking after us! Stay tuned to your wp-admin and theeventscalendar.com/blog for release information.

Have a great remainder of your week and thanks for choosing PRO!

Same error in console here. Appears on Event detail page.

Hey Oystein 🙂

As aforementioned, hang tight for a potential fix in an upcoming maintenance release. We’re aware of the issue and hopefully can get it addressed here shortly!

Thanks for the patience and have a good week. Cheers!

I’m also seeing this. My location searches are coming up with “No results” and I’m wondering if it’s related. For the previous posters, is the Search Near feature still working for you?

[Yan]

Hi Erin,

Can confirm, search feature is not working (returning all events) and still getting the API error message.

Hello and welcome back,

I just tested to see if the Search Near function works and it appears to be for me. We have the issue [venues results not appearing when using Search field] logged and planned to be addressed shortly, so hold tight while we work towards that resolution!

[Yan]

Search Near function works, my bad.

When updating a venue in the backend, i get the following error:

The latitude and longitude for your venue could not be fetched. The Google Maps API daily query limit has been reached!

Since the Google Maps Javascript API is not defined by IP but by website Source , I would like to add my own API key that I generated.

Now that I have my own API key, do you know how to integrate it with theventscalendar?

I tried to following

<script async defer
  src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap">
</script>

but I still get the ‘NO API Key’ Error

Thanks!

[Erin]

Okay thanks. Yes, I’ve tried switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme and turning off all plugins and the Search Near function is not working on my end. If it’s something that’s just happening to me, I’m not sure what else to do to troubleshoot.

[Yan]

Nevermind, I have the same problem as Erin. Search Near function doesn’t work.

Maybe it’s a database issue?

[Hunter]

Hello,

Running the latest versions, you can see the Near function appears to be working when searching for a city or state (see screenshot below), but it doesn’t seem to find events when searching for a specific venue name that does have upcoming events attached to it. This is the same case when searching for venue names in the Search field.

This thread is attached to the logged bug for the developers to reference to, so please hang tight while we work on this. Thank you for the updates and enjoy your Thursday.

[Yan]

This issue has been fixed by doing the following:

1) Go to /plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Embedded_Maps.php
2) you will see

// Setup Google Maps API
$url = apply_filters( 'tribe_events_google_maps_api', '//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js' );

3)Modify $url so you have the following:
$url = apply_filters( 'tribe_events_google_maps_api', '//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YourApiKey' );

[Yan]

And of course, you need to generate an API key here:

[Erin]

Thanks Yan. Did you move the file into your theme or did you just drop the code right into the plugin core files? Wondering if this will get reset on updates.

Thanks

[Yan]

Hi Erin,

I just added a filter in my function.php on a child-theme

Note: you also need to add the API on tribe_events_pro_geocode_request_url which is The Events Calendar Pro call of gmaps.
