Iām just retesting a previously reported problem that it was thought had been fixed. Apologies for going back a monthā¦little things like getting married, dog-sitting for a few weeks and an overseas visitor have kept me busy!
1. Set location topic default to User
2. Set a location for your user (if you donāt already have one)
3. Add a topic in a location enabled category. The topic gets your location and appears on the topic map with any other relevant markers.
4. Delete your user location
5. Add a topic to the same category as in (3). The topic doesnāt get your location (as youād expect), but when you display the topic map all markers are missing.
6. Set location topic default to None - all markers reappeared on the topic mapā¦initially. However, when viewing the user map there were no markers and after going back to the topic map all those markers have now disappeared again. Iāve tried deleting the two posts from (3) and (5), setting Location Topic Default back to User and adding a location back to my user but none of those make any markers reappear on any of the maps.

Has anyone implemented a view where you see the map on top and the list items underneath?
My client want this, but Iām advising against it. It seems to me like it would be cake on cake both ux and codewise since they both perform the same functions.
Opinions or tips on this?

What map?

Apologies, yep I am. Looks like [this](https://bygg.boihop.co/c/gemenskaper/5/l/map?order=created) at present on my site.
In an ideal world selecting tags on top would limit both the map and a list under the map to the selected tag.
Quickmock:
Perhaps one could:
1. Check if we are on the āProject and Gemenskaperā page (easy)
2. Inject a duplicate list under the map (no clue how)
3. Hide the duplicate category/tags bar (easy)
ā¦question is if that would make the tags work as expected (filtering both map and list on click and showing both) or if selecting one would make it default to only the list view - as it currently does when selecting a tag on the list.
Just spitballing. I donāt have a lot of hope.

If youād like to create such a view, PR accepted (so long as all else remains equal and this is just additional behaviour behind a setting).
If you need help to produce such a view on a commercial footing, you are welcome to reach out to me @ Pavilion (Locations is a Pavilion product).

As itās a feature request for this plugin Iāve moved it over to the relevant topic. š

Iāve noticed my locations plugin has stopped geocoding even though my settings have remained unchanged and my API keys from LocationIQ are still valid. The issue happens when trying to assign a location to a topic. Whenever populating the fields, the map simply spins and spins and never completes.
Is this a known issue and do you have any thoughts on how to fix it? Thanks.

Anything suspicious in the browser console or in rails logs?

I donāt have access to the rails logs (need to ask the host), but nothing pops up when I click āFind Locationā. Itās also worth mentioning Iām still on Discourse version 3.0.3.

Not sure if these need reporting, but Iām seeing quite a few deprecation notices for the Locations plugin, i.e.

I donāt know when this happened but my User Map has no user markers on it. I know there are over 20 users with a geo\_location set.
Iāve removed my own location and successfully re-added it so I donāt think geocoding is the problem. Iāve tried changing various settings but havenāt found anything that makes the users display again.
The topic location map has markers on it for the few topics that have locations set so itās just users that are affected. Iām on the latest Discourse and Locations plugin.
Any thoughts on how to get my user markers back?

Hey everyone, the Locations Plugin is now broken due to required upstream changes to facilitate the big ongoing Ember upgrade which is way more significant that usual.
CDCK were very good at giving us a heads up but we currently are working through the required changes and will get Locations back up as soon as we can.
We recommend you DO NOT rebuild for the time being if you wish to continue using the plugin.
Sorry to those of you who have already done so.
We will resolve it when we can.
Thanks very much for your interest in this free offering.

Just not rebuild? So weāre safe to do upgrades from the Web Admin page?

Iāve just merged many early mornings and late nights of work to get this show back on the road.
It is _very_ different in implementation from the old plugin so please bear with there are probably lots of issues, Iāve barely tested it in Production:
- As part of the changes Iāve deprecated the use of widgets in favour of Glimmer implementation (widgets will eventually be on their way out). This was quite a journey, I can tell you, as the original widget code is very esoteric indeed. This should set us in good stead for a good while.
- Thereās a new search system which is a little OTT (be good to add group capability at some point? if someone wants to sponsor that get in touch! )
- It no longer supports Layouts, but Layouts is currently š so thatās moot - Iāll look to add back Layouts support when Layouts returns from the š
- Iāve cut some corners to get here so quickly - Iāve not added any additional FE tests ā¦ may get time to add ones for the maps over time.
[https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-locations/pull/101](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-locations/pull/101)
NB Iāve added a compatibility file so Stable should still use the old code whilst we iron out the bugs in this new approach over time ā¦
Known Issues:
- expand doesnāt work nicely atm.
- Name search on the User map has issues.
- Layouts is not yet supported (but thatās currently š )

thatās great @Stephane_Roy ā¦ but I think also screaming out for a dark mode?
I havenāt had time to look at that yet as an auto integration into the plugin, but there was this CSS I shared a while back you can add as a Theme Component:
```plaintext
:root {
--map-tiles-filter: brightness(0.6) invert(1) contrast(3) hue-rotate(200deg) saturate(0.3) brightness(0.7);
}
.locations-map {
.leaflet-tile-pane {
filter:var(--map-tiles-filter, none);
}
.leaflet-marker-shadow {
display: none;
}
}
```
that I believe still works ā¦
might be a little easier on the eyes? š¶
