China URL support

Dear Alex,

Thanks for your post.
we would like to mention that our plugin works with the script which is taken from Google API but Google API doesn’t have a Chinese version of it.
Thus, unfortunately, we will not be able to help you with this request.

If there is anything else that we can be useful with, we will be glad to assist.

Thanks

Hello @wdsupport

Thanks.

For your information, We can visit google map at frontend at https://www.google.cn/maps.

and I am not sure whether this is Google map API : https://www.google.cn/jsapi, if yes, We can visit in China. I am not familiar with google resource, would you please check it?

If it is Google map API address for China, it would be great if you can send me a short code snippet so that I can insert it by use the plugin of code-snippets(https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/) and make it work for me.

Appreciated for your support.

Alex

and also I found we can visit some link like this:https://maps.google.cn/maps/api/js

But I am not sure which is useful:

https://www.google.cn/jsapi
https://maps.google.cn/maps/api/js

Thanks.

Alex

Dear Alex,

The only solution will be replacing https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js of the plugin’s codes with https://maps.google.cn/maps/api/js

Please, try that and inform us if it works or not

Thanks

Hello,

I changed that URL in these two files,:
class-hugeit-maps-admin-assets.php
class-hugeit-maps-frontend-scripts.php

but it will still show error at backend, please check the screenshot:

https://prntscr.com/hlzkwr

I activated it in sub sites, is there any limitation within Huge-IT google maps in multisite?

Thanks for your further more support.

Alex

Hello,

FYI, please check here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#china_ws_access

You will have to edit the code to use the Maps API in China. The bad side is that it doesn’t support https and it will also give you some page speed warnings, but it is possible.

It would be great if you can let me know what and which file I should change, thanks a lot.

Alex

Hello,

I just fount there is built-in API Changing Interface in other plugins, here is screenshot and just for your reference:

https://prntscr.com/hm9672

I am just thinking it would be great if there is similar one in Huge-IT Google Maps to switch that API.

Thanks.

Dear Alex,

We will take your suggestion into account for the future updates.
However, for now, we will need your website link for checking what you have done. There may be a problem with the API and we will be glad to check that.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. please just send me email alexlii at yahoo dot com, and I will reply you with an administrator account for your check.

Since it seems works fine with frontend, but when I try to input address in MARKERS, CIRCLES, and STORE LOCATOR at backend setting, it will just produce and refresh a lot of errors. Screenshot here:https://prntscr.com/hn0mch

But if I use VPN like Lantern, it will not produce error. So I just doubt whether you will find that errors, because when you access our backend you actually also can access google.com/apis.

Anyway, just write to me email if you need administrator, I am glad to do so.

Thanks.

Alex

Hello,

Also, please help to check whether it is right setting in google map API console:https://prntscr.com/hn1and

Please let me know if there is any wrong setting.

Thanks.

Alex

Dear Alex,

Let me mention that we have sent an email.
Could you check, please, if you received it or not?
Please check your Spam folder as well

we will wait for your reply

Thanks

Hello，

Just like what I said above:

But if I use VPN like Lantern, it will not produce error. So I just doubt whether you will find that errors, because when you access our backend you actually also can access google.com/apis.

So, it does not mean it works in China, since it will still blocked when it check Auth-google.

If you change your Ip of China by VPN, I am sure the errors will be produced.

Dear Alex,

We are really sorry but we will not be able to change the IP by VPN thus we will wait for your email for checking everything right on your website.

Thanks
