Embedded google map stopped working

support
1

I embedded a map in a post by writing the link on a single line. It was working perfectly for days until it wasn’t… And I don’t know why.
The link is working, and the embedding of the same map works in my other Discourse.

It creates an empty iframe:

The iframe link is https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1MisLV7Ag0x8vMU5dSww1uWnQQxVgzO8e.

I didn’t change any related setting and I still have https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed? in my allowed iframes.
No error in the js console, and nothing in logs. Safe-mode doesn’t fix the issue.

Any idea why the map doesn’t load anymore?

edit:
However, the iframe content is displayed if I directly paste this the iframe HTML code in my post. :thinking:

I pasted this link: https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=za0Bx0koO4sk.kHCbG4TApEP4
On a single line on my two Discourse forums.

It works on one of my forum, and here’s the cooked code:

<div class="maps-onebox">
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=13xLbRXoFU-UIUoTiOwJdvLzkoUw" width="690" height="400" frameborder="0" style="border:0" seamless="seamless" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-presentation"></iframe>
</div>

On the forum on which it doesn’t work, here’s the cooked:

<div class="maps-onebox">
<iframe width="690" height="400" frameborder="0" style="border:0" data-unsanitized-src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=za0Bx0koO4sk.kHCbG4TApEP4" seamless="seamless" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-presentation"></iframe>
</div>

Note that there is a data-unsanitized-src attribute in the iframe on the forum where it doesn’t work.

Both forum are using 2.6.0.beta3 ( b8015ab654 )

And I can repro on try.discourse.org:

https://try.discourse.org/t/try-gmap-embed-stuff/1499

Note that the generated iframe also has a data-unsanitized-src attribute.

Have they changed their embed path? I note on try that the default allowed iframes has https://www.google.com/maps/embed? but not https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?

I just added https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed? to the allowlist, rebaked the posts and they are now working on try.

I already had https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed? in my allowed iframes and it was working until today on my forum. :thinking:

edit: iframes now work on try.discourse. I supposed you added /d/embed on it @supermathie?

Anyway it’s still not working on my forum despite having this url allowed… :confused:

Yep, see post above.

Follow-up for us: Should we add this path to the default?

Not sure. Just tried to embed a Google Map and I got the URL without the /d/ :man_shrugging:

@Canapin how did you get that embed URL?

I got this map URL: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1MisLV7Ag0x8vMU5dSww1uWnQQxVgzO8e&ll=30.174583250700085%2C-30.06865476191399&z=3 from https://sites.google.com/view/openunicyclecalendar/open-unicycle-map

It doesn’t work without the /d/, and clicking the hamburger → embed shares a link with the /d/ as well.

Thanks, looks like those are user-generated maps? Don’t know if those are popular enough to warrant it be a default :thinking:

Since we have a simple workaround, I’m going to give it the wait-till-we-have-3-reports to add that URL as a default.

Have the same problem, old maps are shown, new ones are not.
Don´t have access to our core so can´t rebake posts.

After adding /D/ to the list above I can now get link as iframe to work… but not only as a “one row link”.

This is the issue I was facing and I already had /d/ in my iframe authorized URL, so I still don’t understand why it stopped working, and worked again later.
The only thing I did was to remove /d/ from the authorized URLs, and add it again… :man_shrugging:
(and I needed to rebake after anyway)
