Dobrý deň.

Chcel som použiť plg_k2gmap_v10.zip v Joomla 1.5 pre K2, ale podobne ako som sa dočítal vo fóre, zobrazí mi mapku v malom štvorci.

Za odpoveď vopred ďakujem.
S pozdravom

On the pages where we dont have the k2gmap div, where a map would be displayed (eg. here - http://www.najpopusti.si/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97&Itemid=196) we keep getting a Google maps error that says: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'firstChild' of null in main.js line 458. Main.js is located at http://maps.gstatic.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/310c/maps2.api/main.js
On pages like http://www.najpopusti.si/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=57 where we have the k2gmap displayed there is no problem with this error.
Does anyone know how to make this problem go away :)
