meipiConfig.php

[e...@randomseed.org]

hello,

my name is erich berger and i am new to this group. i was over the
last year in contact with guillermo alvaro rey when i was doing a
sketch of the climatescope meipi.
after installing a meipi successfully on my localhost i am now
starting to develop a meipi hosted on our server and encountered a
problem with meipiConfig.php but i have no idea whats wrong.

on http://climatescope.net/meipi/meipi.php i get a "This web site
needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/."

but when i use the same key with a test script it works fine.

here the regarding lines of meipiConfig.php:

<?

// DB
require_once("dbConfig.php");

// Main Url: The address where this meipi is hosted
$mainUrl = "http://climatescope.net/";

// Links
$meipiUrl = "http://www.meipi.org/";
$blogUrl = "http://blog.meipi.org/";
$aboutUrl = "http://www.meipi.org/about.php";
$licenseUrl = "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/
es/";
$faqUrl = "http://www.meipi.org/faq.php";
$legalUrl = "http://www.meipi.org/legal.php";

// Base Folder: The local path to the code
$baseFolder = "/home/climatescope/public_html/meipi/"; // TODO

// Configuration for Google Maps // TODO
$google_maps_keys = array(
"climatescope.net/meipi" => "GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_1",
// Default

"ABQIAAAAWRdQzpvkvJrYx4EEFP3oQBTJrCsORgTJcqsJCbvcXuXfl1egMxRjdzEYtkcRoqF02pST6TrF9jeSIQ"
=> "GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_1"
);
function getGoogleMapsKey()
{
global $google_maps_keys;
foreach($google_maps_keys as $address =>
$googleMapsKey)
{
if($address==="" ||
strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"], $address)!
==FALSE)
{
return $googleMapsKey;
}
}
}
$google_maps_key = getGoogleMapsKey();
.
.
.
.

and here the test script where the same key works fine:
http://climatescope.net/meipi/google_test.html

i would appreciate your help very much.

Hi Erich!

I think the problem is that you need to substitute the GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY_1 with the key, as in:

"http://climatescope.net/meipi/" 

=> "ABQIAAAAWRdQzpvkvJrYx4EEFP3oQBTJrCsORgTJcqsJCbvcXuXfl1egMxRjdzEYtkcRoqF02pST6TrF9jeSIQ"

It seems we have to explain it better, as this has happened before to other users. :-) So thanks for pointing that out!

Cheers,

dear guillermo,

thank you very much, this solved the problem!

one other problem when uploading an image:
when one wants to upload an image the BROWSE button is only active for
clicking if one stays with the mouse-pointer on the left and lower one
pixel wide frame.

hello,

i have the meipi now up and running.
(i only had some minor disturbance with "convert"
beeing in /usr/local/bin but a symlink to /usr/bin/
solved that).

i can confirm now that meipi works also
on freebsd (though not surprising)
as my server runs freebsd
and not a linux flavour.

Hi Erich,

Thanks very much for confirming that meipi works on freeBSD. :-)

We'll contact you privately soon about the committer credentials.

Cheers!

Hi Erich,

Can you open the issue in the meipi project issues page? That's a good way to track the problems still pending.

Guillermo told me he remember seeing the problem you are describing, but I can't remember it. I don't currently have a meipi installation on this computer, I'll try to reproduce it (and fix it if I see how) when possible.

It can be used for bugs and new feature requests. Maybe someone sees some request and decides to code it.

Thanks,

Jorge
