PDF helper googleMapsImage not working 6.1.4

[Kyle]

Hi,

I am trying to use the pdf helper googleMapsImage to print a map in my pdf. No map is embedded in the PDF.


I have google integration setup and it is working elsewhere in my app.

I have the following API's enabled for my API key:
Directions API
Geocoding API
Maps JavaScript API
Maps Static API
Places API

My PDF template based on account has the following to test this:

Shipping:<br>
{{googleMapsImage field='shippingAddress'}}
Billing: <br>
{{googleMapsImage field='billingAddress'}}
Fix loc: <br>
{{googleMapsImage city='New York' country='United States'}} 

PDF Output:

Shipping:
Billing:
Fix loc: 

Logs do not contain anything helpful (API key changed for security):

Any help would be appreciated.

JFI, Google Maps in Espo has nothing to do with Google Integration. It's available out-of-the-box.

I remember it was working on 6.1. Make sure google maps are working on UI first.

Hi Yuri,
It is working from the UI. I get the View on Map link below the address and when I click it the modal shows the map correctly.
Without putting in an API key i get developer mode overprint on the google map.

I have just made the same test in the espo demo and it also does not work. There is no google integration setup in the demo but based on the comment above this should not be needed?

I have tested this and seems not working on the latest version of espo, the generated URL is correct, I think the problem is in reference to the local stored copy of the image.

I have not tested older versions.

Any help with fix will be appreciated.

It seems that a temp file is being removed before TCPDF attempts to read it. Using a base64 image in the src attribute does not work either. Might be TCPDF uses a temp file technique too.

Weird that it used to work a while before.

Thanks Yuri,
I have just applied this to 6.1.4 and it works.
