add google maps no longer working, mobile me 'closed' error msg

A day ago :

Maps in iWeb showing the MobileMe Closed sign?

I had the same problem - Pity Apple cannot think through the effect their closing Mobile me had!

Instead of inserting the widget for the map replace this with an HTML snippet - Go to Google maps support embeding a map

Hope this helps

Hi Pete,

Check out my page where I've outlined the solution 😎

I have the same problem and tried embeding Google Maps via an HTML snippet. This works fine when published to a local folder but when uploaded to the server it is absent. Cache emptied etc but no joy. Any ideas?

Bob

Have you got it published Bob?

Send us the web address so we can have a look.

Thanks for the offer of help. The site is concerning my friend's steam roller in Wales would you believe? The page in question is at:-

http://www.skipworths.talktalk.net/arthogsteam/How_to_find_us.html

As I say when I publish the site to a file on my MacBook Pro it works fine. I then uploaded the site to a server and the map is missing. I've emptied the cache on Safari and tried other browsers but the result is the same. We have the domain www.arthogsteam.co.uk which points to the site but at the moment this update is on a mirror server. Any ideas would be welcome.

Bob

PS I can spell "embedded"

Ooh, interesting one... you can 100% rule out a cache problem - I can see where the map is supposed to be on the page, but you're right - it's not there.. However, the file has been published to the server... this is its location:

http://www.skipworths.talktalk.net/arthogsteam/How_to_find_us_files/widget0_mark up.html

Widget Mark Up HTML pages are published by iWeb to display the widget contents, and the widget simply pulls through the contents onto the main page.

The problem seems to be that the widget on your Contact Us page isn't pulling the map through from the widget markup page...

I've checked View Source on both pages and from what little I know of html, I can't see anything wrong there either. (any hardcore HTMLer's out there - please double check !)

When you published the site, did you "Publish Site Changes" or "Publish Entire Site"?

If you didn't Publish the Entire site - have a go at that first and let me know what happens.

Here's your map on a test page....

http://96.0.63.10/iWeb-Test-2/map.html

Make sure you upload the page html file, the associated page–name folder and the feed.xml file.

Ok R8ch31 and Roddy. Thanks for the advice.

In the past if I have made any amendments I have simply uploaded the page html and the associated files folder but I will try a complete upload and let you know, plus empty the cache. I'll make sure of this by using OnyX. May well be tomorrow as I'm watching Olympics and having a glass of wine!🙂

Bob

You don't need a complete upload - just make sure you include the feed.xml.

here are your problem

Bingo!

Thanks Cyclosuarus, Roddy and R8ch31. I did a complete re upload in the end which was perhaps overkill as Cyclosaurus had identified the missing files. Anyway all functioning again.

Phew!

Fantastic - enjoy the olympics and your glass of wine!
