Subject: Info Balloon is empty no matter what I try
No matter what i try, I cannot get information to show up in the simple map info balloon. I've tried every combination of things I can think of, read the related posts, but can't get anything to show up.

I’ve tried putting it in the TypoScript Setup code in a page Template Record (and included the simple map static template) I even tried putting the code in the Page TypoScript configuration. We don't use white text, but I still put black values in for the map elements in our main CSS.
I would have thought our description and address would have shown up automatically from the data entered into the plugin, but I can't get anything at all to show up.

Here’s my code as of now- (I have tried a number of other ways to skin this cat):

CODE:
plugin.tx_wecmap_pi1 {
    markers.1.title = First United Methodist Church
    markers.1.description = Sharing the Heart of Christ from the Heart of McKinney
    markers.1.street = 315 N. Church St.
    markers.1.zip = 75069
    markers.1.city = McKinney
    markers.1.state = TX
    zoomLevel = 16
}


Here's the relevant page on our site: http://www.sharingtheheart.org/visitors/location/

Jay,

I set up the Map extension on a plain starter package and just added your TS, added the static template, entered height and width inside the flexform, and added an API key in the WEC Map Admin, and it shows up correctly.
Please double check that you have indeed included the static template.

Also, are you running WEC Map 1.3.6, the latest version?

I am using version 1.3.6 I am including the static template for simple map. I even added the frontend map static template, just to see what would happen and that didn't affect anything. I know my key is valid, since the map does show up.

I think there might be something kooky going on with the javascript setup on this server. I can't get eBible to display the verse inside the pop-up either.

Jay,

I don't see any js errors. The info is not included on the page, so it's probably somewhere in the PHP or TypoScript.
If you want I can take a look at the setup. Just send me a login to the backend by email. It's in my forum profile.

I am having the same problem on our brand spankin' new Vine hosted site. See http://diamondbarchurch.com/about-us/map/. Any ideas? I created an API key for the domain with Google and the map itself is correct. But a blank info box.

Dave,

For Jay's site, for some reason, the static template wasn't included. I know he's smart enough to do it and said he did, so we're not sure what happened
Either way, include the static template and it should work.

Although, smart enough to do it and smart enough to do it right are apparently not the same thing.

It looks like your site is displaying the data now. Did you add the static template? We need to get that fixed on Vine.
