A way to input a Google API Key without resintalling the widget (and loosing mashups) ?

[pjoly]

Hello

I have several mashups using google widget (installed as default without API Key)

As traffic is increased I would like to use the customer API key but not redoo all the job (high customisation of this widget and associated data) ?

Is there a solution for that :

1/ if I remove google widget extension, modify the key as detailed in documents (https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS188314&language=en&posno=1&q=API%20%20key%20google&source=search) , reinstall, will I keep widget and all associted data ?

2/ a way to modify the  installed key  ?

3/ a configuration item in the future for that extension  ?

Thanks

just one UP as I read that google map API  will become "not free" begining of June and probably widget will not work any more without key !

Thanks

Hi,

ad1. Do not remove widget. Just change appKey in metadata.xml, change version to 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and import it. It will override extension source code, but not your mashups. That should be enough to make it work.

ad2. Library is loaded in runtime. Can be modified in metadata.xml only, because it is defined in this place.

Best,

Adam
