I’ve 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, I’ve barely tested it in Production: - As part of the changes I’ve 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. - There’s 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 💀 so that’s moot - I’ll look to add back Layouts support when Layouts returns from the 💀 - I’ve cut some corners to get here so quickly - I’ve not added any additional FE tests … 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 I’ve added a compatibility file so Stable should still use the old code whilst we iron out the bugs in this new approach over time … Known Issues: - expand doesn’t work nicely atm. - Name search on the User map has issues. - Layouts is not yet supported (but that’s currently 💀 ) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742)._
