Trying this plugin for the first time in my local dev and noticed some issues. When I get some time I’ll see if I can work on a PR. When editing a topic to add location, the `TopicLocation` is not created, so it doesn’t appear on the map. Seems due to the `location` custom\_field string not being parsed correctly. When viewing a category, the locations don’t appear in the topic list, because of using the “before category” outlet (there is no category outlet when viewing a category topic list). Also `location_topic_status` doesn’t appear to be used anywhere. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742)._
