Having trouble installing into Joomla about embed-google-map HOT 15 CLOSED

Hi,

I'm sorry for the slow response...I've been traveling and got back home yesterday.

Could you give me some more information about your system: Joomla version, OS version, PHP version?

Did you download the installation package using the URL below? How did you try to install the plugin (download & upload using Joomla UI, download & upload using sftp, Joomla web installer)?

https://github.com/petkivim/embed-google-map/releases/download/v2.1.0/plg_content_embed_google_map-2.1.0.zip

from embed-google-map.

Hi thank you very much for getting back to me.

Not

Sean

On a Linux system PHP version can be checked with $ php --version command.

One way to check the version is to create a phpinfo file: open a plain text file, add the following lines, and save:

Filename: phpinfo.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then access phpinfo.php page and you should see PHP version and many other information related to PHP settings.

Have you tried to install any other plugins and did you have any problems with them?

Yes I did try another install and got the same problem, I will try to
access the hosts C Pannel to find out the php version.

There was this method I used a few years ago where I went into Joomla admin
and disabled some things that allowed me to use google maps in an article
but I can't find the instructions.

Unfortunately I can't see the image that you tried to post earlier. However, I think that the problem is related to the permissions of the web server's directory as you have the same problem with other plugins as well. The first row of the error message is probably the root cause and the other operations fail because of that.

Warning JFolder::create: Could not create directory Path: /home/dhthemec

I've seen a similar error message when I've tried to install a plugin in a hardened version of Joomla (web server didn't have write permissions to public_html folder). Could you check that the web server has sufficient permissions to write to the directory where Joomla is located?

from embed-google-map.

Ok sure I will check with the host today. PHP was 5.5 native

Do you know what permissions are needed?

The web server needs read, write and execute permissions on the directory where Joomla is located.

Ok, I have the plugin installed and I have enabled it.

I can't seem to get the embed working. Does this look right?

The coordinates must be in decimal degree format, e.g. {google_map}60.1705,24.9384{/google_map}.

from embed-google-map.

How do you get that from Google maps?

You can convert the coordinates using this tool: http://www.gps-coordinates.net/gps-coordinates-converter.

from embed-google-map.

The correct code for embedding the map is {google_map}-40.35625,175.60602{/google_map}
