1.8.3: Google Maps error

[tobias]

Well, after updating to 1.8.3, the google maps extension is still working but only displays the default settings, Mindtouchs office location. i don't get any errors in firebug, I even deleted the Google Extension and added it again, no luck so far.... Hard refresh and deleting the skins/common/cache didn't help either...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tobias

Delete the files in the /var/www/deki-hayes/skins/common/cache folder. You might be pulling up old JS code from there.

done that already...

Duh! Sorry didn't see that.

Can you do me a favor and safe the HTML of the page and email it to me as an attachment (steveb at mindtouch dot com)?

Ha, I just found the problem (well, it could also be a bug).
The address contained a German umlaut (ü,ö,ä,ß) and as soon as I removed it, it worked.
But I am pretty sure, this didn't happen before... I am also sure that Google Maps doesn't have any problems with it, take a look here.

I made some changes to google.map. It's very possible that this introduced an error with extended characters. Thanks for finding it! I'll look into it in the morning.

Lol, I just came into the office and had my first coffee ;-)
Let me know what you find out tomorrow! Take care. Tobias

Found the issue. The 1.8.3 dekiscript parser had a bug and was parsing in extended ASCII instead of UTF-8. Stupid, stupid. I checked in a fix and it will part an upcoming update. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks, for now I updated all umlauts to oe ue etc.

Fix will be out next week (~Tuesday).
