[edit] Configure Google Maps API Key
The Google Maps Widget needs to be configured with the Google API key for your site.
Open /wiki/extensions/wx/widget/googlemap/init.php in an editor and edit the block of code that looks like this:
// Add your Google Maps API key here
'hexten.net' => array(
'api_key' =>
'ABQIAAAAVyB2T4w5ugEDc0dyDm2JsRQP2ubrLxYY5QZUJTkbW0YyoXO-pxTRzltzTiSawNxGGoVhfN7zN4HHkg',
),
to include your API key. You should remove any leading 'www' from the hostname (hexten.net in the example above).
