Maps: ajax search javascript fails to load in base_edit for class extended from Maps

[Kees Hink]

MyClass extends the Maps (1.1rc1) product's Location class.
(A "generalization" in ArgoUML.) This way i can show the
MyClass objects in a folder on a map. (Great product, Maps.)

Unfortunately, the location search function on the MyClass
edit form has disappeared. When creating a new MyClass
object, you used to be able to search for an address+city,
and the resulting location is shown on a map. I believe this
bit is called the ajaxsearch. Recently, when you add a new
object of type MyClass, the search input text field is gone,
as is the map. You can still enter a location, but you have
to do it in coordinates, which is much less user-friendly.

I'm testing this at localhost:8080, so the default API keys
should work. The Location class still works in the same
Plone instance (when i add a Location, i do get the search
option), so i assume it's not an API key problem. I did
register another API key though, just making sure, which
didn't make a difference.

I compared the edit form for Location to MyClass, and
MyClass appears to lack a div of class "googleMapPane". The
decision whether or not to put this in the page or not is
apparently made in maps-googlemaps.js.

It seems that this javascript is not loaded from the MyClass
edit form. The Location edit form does have a line <script
src="http://localhost:8080/Plone/portal_javascripts/Plone%20Default/maps-googlemaps.js"
type="text/javascript">, the MyClass form doesn't. I'm not
using a customised form for editing, though, just ATCT's
base_edit.

Any hints or questions to determine the problem more
specifically are greatly appreciated!

Solved: The javascript tool showed a condition of
"object/@@maps_googlemaps_view/enabled | nothing" for the
maps javascripts. The class MyClass did not have the
maps_googlemaps_view registered. I made a modification in
the configure.zcml which registered the view for MyClass,
and that fixed it.

(Why this product once worked, and what made it stop
working, is still a question, but a less pressing one.)
