I've installed the Google Maps extension and added my API Key to LocalSettings.php but I'm not getting any maps and I am getting a Javascript error. I don't know if this is the reason but one possibility is that it's because the site uses basic authentication. I know the Google API site says it only works on sites that are "free to consumers." My site isn't a business and is "free" as in beer to its users. It's just not freely available to the world because some of the information is not public. It's basically a family site (totally non-commercial) were my extended family shares stories and reminiscences and we'd rather it not be scooped up by the search engines. Yes, we're hoping to take advantage of Google without them being able to index the site and if that's unreasonable, then so be it.

On the other hand, the side doesn't have trade secrets or "account information" that would cost us if it got out so we didn't bother with SSL. It's just a simple MediaWiki site with basic (plain-text) authentication. Has anyone gotten this extension working with basic auth? When I turned off authentication it still failed so I'm not really sure that's the problem.

The Javascript error I'm getting is "unterminated string literal" on the line that ends:

overlay.maxContent) { overlay.openInfoWindowHtml('‹/p›

It appears that the next line has the rest of the string literal that starts on the end of that line, so there isn't an obvious problem there.

Any ideas?

This is version 0.9.4 of the extension and version 1.13.3 of MediaWiki running on CentOS 5 with PHP 5.1.6. I'm viewing the site in Firefox 3.0.8 on Windows.
