Anton - The instruction supplied on that page is lacking in details regarding how to specifically use the tool to implement this...
It has all the details. You need to set URL in server settings. After that you can select custom layer server-wide or per user.
Ok...
...so I login as admin... go to 'Settings->Server->Custom Map:' then paste this http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&hl=en&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&s=Ga
into the text area next to 'Custom Map:' and hit 'Save'. Is that all there is to it? ...because I do not see any change in the visible map panel.
Yes, that's what you need to do. Then just refresh the webpage.
dsmith,
after step mentioned by you, go to Settings > Accounts > Map Layer and choose Custom Map. And so now, refresh the webpage.
This will complete the configuration.
I hope I have helped you.
Best regards.
