Gmaps Services extend the Gmaps module with the Services/API methods from Google Maps.
It brings the following features to the maps
And it bring the following tags to EE
Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements:
For every paid addon you need to validate your license in order to activate the module.
On a local environment, like *.dev *.local *.localhost *.test the license is valid for testing and building a new or existing sites.
For every other domain, you need to have a valid license.
Once installed, you will asked to enter your license key. When you entered a valid license you can hit the "Save license" button. This will start validating your license and will redirect you to addons.reinos.nl to login into your account. You can also register a new account in this process.
Once logged in, you are asked to use your current account or to login with another one.
Using the current logged in account, the server will check all info related to your license and once valid, it will redirect you back to your site where you see either a success message or an error message.
This module is using a license field to check if the license for the module is valid or not. On addons.reinos.nl you can check your license and add your valid domains.
In the Module CP you can enter then your license
When you enter a wrong license, the module will not work and it shows you an warning
Sometimes it happens that the license system says you have an invalid license. When this happens, make sure you have entered your domain url in your account, next to your license on addons.reinos.nl.
If this will not fix your license problem, please contact us on https://addons.reinos.nl/support
