Subject: Directions feature not working
I cannot seem to get the "From here to:" and "To hear from:" feature to work. Whenever I enter an address it just takes me to our home page. I have read the online manual and inserted the Google Map API key. The map itself displays just fine in all three modes.

I also find that when I go to the extension manager in the backend that certain extensions that will not come up when I click their name. The WEC Map extension is one of them.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,

No idea how that slipped past me. Sorry for the trouble! I will get a fix out over the weekend and let you know when it's fixed internally so you can get up and running asap.

Ed,

Looking at the issue it seems that it happens only if there are quotes in the marker title or description, so removing those if possible would be a workaround for now.

Ed,

It was a pretty easy fix. It will be included in the next version. For now you can download the fixed version from our developer site [1].

Again, sorry for the inconvenience! Let me know if that doesn't fix it and I will look into it some more.

Do I now need to follow the instructions for importing an extension? Once it is imported will I need to include the WEC Map API static template on the page or should that be included when I update the extension?

Ed,

Yeah, import the extension file from the extension manager and just follow the prompts. If you haven't included the WEC Map API static template yet you need to do that before you can see the map. If you already have it, it will still be there. It's not automatically included during installation.

Let me know if you have more questions or I didn't answer them well

I decided to go with the simpler solution: I removed the single quote from our name. Works great now.

Thanks,
