I think he didn't get the api key as in step 4:

4.) Add your GmapsKey to the site.ini under [SiteSettings] like so:
GMapsKey=<Long string of characters from Google>

You need to go to google maps api website ( http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html ) and generate your key, if you has a localhost site, you enter "http://localhost" as your site address, or if it's a network computer, you enter the network computer name: "http://computer2"

So, google will generate your api key, and you will have to change your ini settings.

I think this extension needs some upgrade because version 3 of google maps api doesn't need an api key anymore.

Hi guys

Thank you for your reply's, I really appreciate it.

I have gotten the map to display and understand how to edit it, etc. which is great. But now i'm trying to override the template's for the map so i can customise it, This is what i've got:

[gmap]
Source=content/datatype/view/ezgmaplocation.tpl 
MatchFile=gmapview.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[attribute_identifier]=postcode

Not sure how override's work when it come to extensions.

Cheers

Is this right?

Match[attribute_identifier]=postcode

The default name of the Geo Article attribute is location, and did you put gmapview.tpl inside some override folder?

For more information you should go to documentation page:

ok, in this case you could make a backup of the original tpl file and direct edit it. It's not a good pratice but works.

Hi

I thought again about your problem and it should be an extension priority problem. the template of ez gmap extension has higher priority then your template extension, you could try change the order of the extensions in the settings/override/site.ini.append.php settings.

[ExtensionSettings]
ActiveExtensions[]=yourdesignextension

..

ActiveExtensions[]=ezgmaplocation

..

You could also add the settings to match the class on your override settings and test again:

[gmap]
Source=content/datatype/view/ezgmaplocation.tpl
MatchFile=gmapview.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[attribute_identifier]=location
Match[class_identifier]=gmap_class_identifier
