Map not showing on live site. PLEASE HELP!! 2 years, 2 months ago #817

Hi guys,

Really like the plugin but I've hit a major wall after transferring my site on to the server.

The problem is the map is not showing. Instead I get this error message.
"GoogleMapAPI:createMarkerIcon: Error reading image: www.bikesportz.com.au/components/com_sobi2/plugins/google_axresults/GoogleMapsIcons/icon_big1.png"

Please check out this link to see the problem in action.

(Just pick any state in the search to see some search results)

Everything works fine when I tested the site on my localhost.

I've searched through the forum threads and tried changing the write permissions to 755 or 555 but that hasn't helped.

I would really appreciate some help with this.

Thanks!

Alright, after doing some googling, I've figured out how to fix it.

In the GoogleMapAPI.class.php script, change these lines

$_icon_image_path = strpos($iconImage,'http') === 0 ? $iconImage : $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $iconImage;

$_icon_image_path = strpos($iconImage,'http') === 0 ?  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 
substr($iconImage,strlen($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) + 7) : $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $iconImage;

Then do the same for the $_shadow_image_path as well.

This worked for me
