These arn't my photos, nor is it my page. I'm simply a friend of the family and am helping them customize it to look "more pretty". ;} (Hence; a lot is still under construction, but you can putter about!)

Alright, so. This Google API thing has positively got me up the wall confused.

I've been skittering around the forums here looking at different topics, some make a little sense on the subject, others do not. Heh. ... Now, I realized I needed two keys because of a regular XXXXX.smugmug URL and a custom domain. So I got two keys, right? Now there was only one place related to this Google map function under Settings in the Control Panel. Just called 'Google Map ____' something, I think. And it read:

hostname: centerearthphotoart.smugmug.com | delete

I guess my main question is where to add the keys in? I only say that, and when I realized I needed to keys, from what I read on other threads it sounded like whatever I needed to add would be under that Google Map category under Settings. Since I only saw that one entry, I said; the heck with it! And hit delete. I no longer get the API error message which is nice, but... now I'm wondering...

Where do I add these keys!?

Help would be lovely.

Thanks!

I've been confused on this also, where does the second key go and is it
really needed? Only see the one entry.

Seems like once you delete the first key, the whole category disappears on you. Hrrm... frustrating, is what it is.

Anyone have any advice on this? :)

*Bump.*

One last bump for hope!
