Google Maps plugin/CD registration

I am 100% a newbie at using Joomla and CB etc..

I do have my Community site up and running at this point with several CB plugins.

I was able to geocode first test user with no errors.

Now when a new user registers theses errors are sent to the screen after register:
Warning: fopen( api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=maverickpl94&location= ) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /home/papillon/public_html/administrator/components/com_google_maps/google_maps.class.php on line 314

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/papillon/public_html/administrator/components/com_google_maps/google_maps.class.php on line 316

Anyone know what I might look at to correct?

Thanks,
Karen

Looks like there's no location appended to the Yahoo Maps API address.

If you open that address in your favorite browser...

api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/geocode?appid=maverickpl94&location=

You'll see what I mean.

The API needs that location to geocode it, so it could either be that the new user didn't fill out his/her address information upon registering, the address/city/state fields created for the Google Maps / CB plugin aren't enabled, or the Google Maps component can't find the CB fields on your site that store addresses.

I'm having the same problem, anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

First, yahoo's geocoding api changed, it is now:
local.yahooapis.com/MapsService/V1/geocode

you should also get your own appid from yahoo, just search for yahoo geocoding. If you take off "location=" and add "zip=13502" or any other zip you will get a good response, the problem that I found is that I don't know how to map "columns" from CB in the geocoder plugin settings, I tried field #, table.column name, just field names, nothing seems to work. If I figure this out, I will definitely let you know. Basically the fields are not mapped correctly, so the location field has nothing to encode and pass to yahoo geocoding service.
