    Change Google API Key?

    How do you change the API key being used? Cannot find the source.

    Recent google data/quota usage changes means maps are not functioning based on original api key.

    website: www.redkangaroo.co.uk

    Console error: You have exceeded your request quota for this API.

    Key being parsed in source:

    "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&libraries=places&callback=TerratypeGoogleMapsV3CallbackRender&key=AIzaSyBHNCz5l9xxAZq3vYtYt-IhWSGFvnbMKUU&language=en"

    Unsure where this is being specified. Have a key to replace it.

    Hi Anthony,

    You define the API Key when you first create the Terratype. Its in the Developer section under Data Types. Enter your new key, click retry to test your key and wait a few seconds to see results.

    Terratype config

    Cheers

    Hi Jonathan,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Unfortunately I do not see that in the view, see below.

    I have no other references to Terra in here.

    Thanks

    Hi Anthony,

    It looks like the providers aren't loading properly for you in the back office. Hence why you are seeing all the settings missing. What version of TerraType are you using?

    If you desperately need to fix it, I believe you could change the value directly in the database, but it is risky. The value will be stored somewhere in the following table: cmsDataTypePreValues but you'll need to find the right entry. CAUTION THIS IS RISKY

    Cheers,

    Nik

    It's version 1.0.13.

    Would an uninstall/re-install be an option i.e will the local settings be retained and maps unaffected?

    Thanks

    I would look to do an update of TerraType. I would not uninstall and re-install.

    It's bug that sometimes the providers don't load in time and I know Jonathan has released various updates some of which were aimed at resolving this. TerraType is now on version 1.0.19.

    OK - are there any guidelines relating to performing an upgrade? Thanks.

    I'm not sure, you'd have to check the package page, and the release notes on github :-) I don't "think" there are any issues with just upgrading.

    How have you installed the package? Have you used NuGet?

    I didn't - it's wholly inherited and the issue with maps not displaying (linked to api key data usage) is what's caused me to look at the plugin - for the very time.

    Guidance is certainly appreciated.

    Okay, so if you aren't sure how the package was installed I'd check the following:

    1) Check in the packages.config to see if it was installed via nuget. (Assuming you are looking at the complete source of the website) 2) Check in the "installedpackages.config" located in the App_Data/Packages/Installed path to see if it is listed there.

    If neither of these tell you that the package is installed, I would take a full backup of the website and database and then try installing the package via nuget.

    Hi Nik,

    Checked and nothing there.

    Installing the package via nuget will update the current build or will it cause a conflict?

    Thanks

    Hi Anthony,

    I can't say for 100%, but I think it should update the current build. You'd have to test it just to make sure.

    Cheers
