OpenLayers plugin and QGIS 1.9: Error after install

Question

After I install the OpenLayer Plugin (1.0.0) on my QGIS 1.9 this error appears:

Konnte Erweiterung openlayers_plugin nicht laden wegen eines Fehler beim Aufruf seiner initGui()-Methode

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qgis/utils.py", line 198, in startPlugin
    plugins[packageName].initGui()
  File "/home/map/.qgis//python/plugins/openlayers_plugin/openlayers_plugin.py", line 160, in initGui

Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

As said to the post above, recently some methods in API have been removed so, if you can not wait for the next version what you have to do is replace this file into

{home}/.qgis/python/plugins/openlayers_plugin

the patch works both for 1.8 version that master version.

Answer 2

Replacing the file does not work for me: Couldn't load plugin openlayers_plugin due an error when calling its classFactory() method I downloaded the file from the link given above and replaced it in the directory tree.

My fix was to use the same file from http://hub.qgis.org/issues/6979 which worked fine.
