I am struggling to get the Google map to show up.
Using MODX Revolution 2.2.5-pl (traditional)
mxcalendar 1.1.6 pl

Getting this error:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/11/d292516919/htdocs/4bh/core/components/mxcalendars/model/mxcalendars/google_geoloc.class.inc on line 48

Warning: file_get_contents(http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=7+Medway+Road++Milford%2C+MA+01757&sensor=true) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /homepages/11/d292516919/htdocs/4bh/core/components/mxcalendars/model/mxcalendars/google_geoloc.class.inc on line 48

Here are my calls:

[[!mxcalendar? &displayType=`list` &tplListItem=`tplListItemList` &isLocked=`true` &eventListlimit=`20`]]
[[!mxcalendar? &ajaxResourceId=`27` &modalView=`true`]]

Using a custom tplListItem

I also tried adding this to my header:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

Here is my test site to view:

Have you tried re-installing mxCalendar?

Did you set the displayType in your ajaxResource snippet call?

<p>[[!mxcalendar? &displayType=`detail`]]</p>

Thanks Frogabog,
I tried re-installing as well as removing and installing again.

I just added the snippet call to my Ajax resource.
Still getting the error. I had just the basic call in there before.

Is that mentioned anywhere?
Are there any detailed instructions on exactly every step involved?

Thanks

As far as I know, the google map just works. If you enter an address, it locates and displays it. Although, it's possible that the placeholder isn't in the modal chunk but it looks like the default one to me. I recall that it wasn't working for me at first on one installation, and then when I got the mxcalendar call correctl it showed right up. The calling of this snippet is really finicky, I've found.

Try adding &resourceId=`` to your mxcalendar call (not in the ajax resource).

I'd suggest searching the forums for mxcalendar and digesting some solutions that aren't in the documentation yet. The above parameter addition is actually something Charles pointed out in another thread recently. Also, the blank template for the ajax resource is not mandatory, but depending on your other js, could conflict if you use your template instead (also discussed here - worth a read).

Frogabog, Thanks for all your help.

I got it figured out!

http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2010/04/07/quick-fix-for-url-file-access-is-disabled-issues

I am using 1and1 as a host.
I created a php.ini file with these lines

allow_url_fopen = ON
allow_url_include = ON

The second line is needed if you place calls on other pages.
Without it, it inserted the current page URL into the link.
EDIT - I actually had to add this code to my sidebar to make it appear on another page.

&resourceId=`4`

Thanks
