Hi Vitaly, my name is Charlie and I am a (fairly) new user to DNN, my company mainly does skinning and the initial CP (content population) of a site.

Here's my issue, my clients want a google map embedded in their site, allowing site-visitors and clients to get directions to their location. On any other platform besides DNN I would simply use the Iframe code that Google generates. But since you've built this potentially wonderful module we decided to use as much of DNN's power as possible.

I've successfully setup an iframe to google maps on a 4.08 platform using the 4.03 Iframe. However for another portal on another installation (still using DNN 4.08) i have the 3.03.07 IFrame module installed. It is on this portal that i cannot (for the life of me) make this iframe show up. This is the error that appears in the iframe

Forbidden

Your client does not have permission to get URL /maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1919%2BAlliant%2BEnergy%2BCenter%2BWay%2BMadison%2C%2BWI%2B53713&sll=37.0625%2C-95.677068&sspn=48.287373%2C79.101563&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr&output=embed from this server. (Client IP address: 69.129.62.202)

------------------------------

I used the following code generated by google for my query string parameters

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1919+Alliant+Energy+Center+Way+Madison,+WI+53713&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.287373,79.101563&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr

-------------------------------

I've noted that on the iframe that was successful that there was a matching value for the geocode parameter, i believe that this has a great effect on the functionality of the iframe (as far as google maps are concerned) but i cannot manage to make google maps generate code that has the geocode and its value for the above location.

 

I'm literally at wit's end on this so if you have a trick or two please share

 

A very frustrated developer/designer

Hi, Charlie

First of all - I hear you - I get frustrated at times, too. Here are a few quick pointers on your question, though:

1. DNN has a specific MAP module - why not use that?

2. The error seems to indicate that Google generates a domain specific URLs for their maps - make sure that's correct.

General comment: as much as I'd like people to think that I am singlehandedly dealing with a super complicated hyper-Module - IFrame module just isn't that... It's a simple module that generates a simple IFrame tag. Most likely, your issue is not related to the module specifically.

Thanks Vitaly, i passed this particular task to another of my team-members....he cheated and stuck the iframe into a text/html module....while inelegant does the job.

 

Question about the MAP module....i looked through the list of available modules and didn't see it. Is this a third-party module?
