Google Maps API Key

timnosenzo

So I registered for a google maps API key, but I did it for timnosenzo.smugmug.com instead of timnosenzo.com. Now when I log into my control panel I get an error message saying the API key is for the wrong site. I would just like to delete the key out of my control panel, but now all I get there is a blank box. Is there anyway for me to just delete the key? :flush

Thanks!
Tim

I deleted your other key now, too. Go and get a new one, only for the domain you wish

Thanks again, Andy!

I actually have another question about this...

If I get a key for timnosenzo.com, will people get an error message or something if they visit the site by using timnosenzo.smugmug.com?

Hi Andy,
please help me. I have the same problem like timnosenzo had.
Thanks.

Thank you, Andy.
I got a new API key for the map. Now I got the same error message again.
What did I do wrong?

Google Maps API Key and Custom Hostname
If you have your own custom host name you will need 2 Google Maps API keys.
Using my SmugMug nickname and custom hostname as an example.
SmugMug: lmsportspix.smugmug.com
Custom: photos.lmsportspix.com
Go to Google and request an API key for EACH of your URL's. http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html

After you get both keys enter your site using your SmugMug URL: lmsportspix.smugmug.com
Enter the API key in the Google Maps key box and press save. (top image below)

Now enter your site using your custom URL: photos.lmsportspix.com
Enter the API key in the Google Maps key box and press save. (middle image below)

After entering both API keys, go to your control panel and look at the Google Map Keys. The results should look like the bottom image below (your domain info).

Clear as mud?

'Around the World' options missing
Hi,
I have a similar issue. I've read through this post and it sounds like these instructions will help, but I think I need to delete the existing keys and start again.

However, when I go to my Control Panel / Homepage screen, I get the Google API error, and the 'Around the World' section goes blank (see below)


How do I get these options back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My address is www.iainsim.net (smugmug domain: www.iainsim.smugmug.com)

Cheers,
Iain

Please diregard my previous post. It's all fixed.
Please disregard my previous post. I found the 'Delete Google Maps Key' button on another page in the Control Panel and managed to fix this myself. Thanks anyway.
