Excellent. Many thanks FunChief. Very much appreciated. Looks great now.

fixed it. your problem was using maps.google.co.uk instead of maps.google.com - it works now.

Re:

Have changed the code to

 
View the Morgawr Sightings in a larger map

but still says 'no match for embedded code'. As far as I can tell GoogleMaps must have generated the break in the first place.

The coding is on the page at http://fortean.wikidot.com/morgawr#toc1 if anybody wants to help trying to fix it. The page is open edit.

sorry - my mistake, see resolution in a thread below

Re:

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:51:55 +0000

SORRY - that's not it…i get the same for my URL, which works though.

Here's the actual problem. Both of you tried to edit the description of the map, where the link is. Chris inserted "Morgawr…" and Lobo_Gris inserterd some other name. The way you inserted that broke the original link in half.

this in turn broke the regular expressions that the wikidot validates these links (I'm assuming they use that).

anyways, if you fix that link , you should be fine. for instance this works fine (it's one of the two above) - note the a href tag which now looks different.

View Nuevo Depa in a larger map [[/embed]]

same thing with your URL Chris, I get the same error
{errorText:"Unable to contact server."}

for this url (your src attribute)
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=100685272538302717572.00046f39b9745fec203a9&ll=50.212064,-5.092163&spn=1.462399,3.499146&output=embed

When i try your map (the src attribute of the iframe) I get some sort of an error: {errorText:"Unable to contact server."}. just paste your URL into the browser, for instance: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=106834310040442095266.0004658f85e258cb011b4&ll=19.569495,-99.118996&spn=0.161745,0.205994&z=12&output=embed

Why exactly this hapens i don't know.

You have too much code after the end of the iframe block!

Have a look at this page under "More Action to demonstrate"
(it is not your code)

I can't get my map to embed either asnd get the same message as Lobo_Gris.

Coding given by GoogleMaps is:

 
View Morgawr Sightings in a larger map

Re:

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:13:33 +0000

My code is this one:

 [[embed]] 
View Nuevo Depa in a larger map [[/embed]]

It is a private map, but as far as I know you do not need a password to be able to watch the map.

here's a sample on my wiki: http://funontrails.wikidot.com/ - you can find lots. the source is:

 [[embed]] 
. [[/embed]]

please compare this with what you get from google. make sure you click on the "Customize and preview embedded map" to get a nice map.

as for the other issue, seeing the map in google maps: make sure you login with the same user all the time and you check any "stay logged in" boxes. i suggest you try this with a public map first and when it works start playing with the private maps.

hope this helps.

Can you insert here under "code" block the requested code of google ?

could be you need a private / secret password to embed this?

Re:

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:09:01 +0000

I did not change a single character. I was very careful with that, and I tried many many times.

The thing is I am unable to see the map myself, even while logged in at google.

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:49:32 +0000

no - i don't think it should…but if it's private, it would only be seen if you shared it with someone that was logged into google via a cookie or something, no? Check your code very carefuly against the examples above. It can produce that error message if you even change one character in a comment!

My map doesn't embed

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:37:02 +0000

I'm trying to embed a map, but it isn't working. I get a "Sorry, no match for the embedded content." notice.

My map is set on "private". Does it have something to do with it?

Re: Too slow

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:53:39 +0000

i've got it - with some help from this thread: http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-96421/super-sexy-interactive-google-map

you can check the same page to see how…until i delete it that is…basically the html with the is as code in a separate topic (i figure it could be the same) and it is included as an iframe in the original topic.

in essesnce, it displays the img and when you click on it, it gets replaced by the actual map…it is NOTICEABLY faster to load…

Too slow

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:23:16 +0000

i embedded a map in may page but it's awfully slow on certain connections. I have profiled with firefox and it's a humongous number of litle pics in layers that it is grabbing.

i figure the solution is to embed a small static JPG of the map and when you click on it, just then actually load and replace with a map - but i couldn't get wikidot to embed such an iframe - i tried with a local attached html file which contains the but it doesn't work

http://wiki.funontrails.com/ganaraska2

really what i'm looking for is like an "alt" attribute for the [[embed or

any ideas?

How to embed maps from Google China?

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 05:07:33 +0000

Hi, everyone,

I tried to make a bilingual website that would contain both an English and a Chinese version of some Google maps. However, while the English version shows well in wikidot, the Chinese version (from http://ditu.google.com/maps) cannot be embedded in wikidot's webpages. After copying and pasting the link of the map from Google China to wikidot, it says "Sorry, no match for the embedded content". Are there any solutions to this problem or are the two just incompatible (BTW I tried pasting the same codes to blogger.com and it works!)?

Many thanks for your advice!
