Thanks

Happy New Year

One of our members has raised an issue with the size of the text on the basemap / tiles and I’m wondering if this is a setting I’ve missed

We’re using:

https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/mapbox/outdoors-v11/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token=

I also use another website with the outdoors-v11 tiles and the issue isn’t present there.

Here’s how our members map looks:

The same area, same zoom level (note the yellow road above the lake for reference):

If I then zoom in further to that yellow road on my users map:

And the same zoom, on a different web site:

Does anyone what’s causing the text on my user map to be so small?

Oh, you may need to click on those images to make them larger to see the issue fully.

[merefield (Robert)]

Do you have the source code for the javascript call for non-Locations Plugin map? It might show why there’s a difference and if it’s using the same library and data, the attribute that’s being used to differentiate it …

Also, what version of Leaflet is it using?

[merefield (Robert)]

FYI I’ve updated to latest stable leaflet version, in case that’s part of the issue, but probably good practice in any case (we were lagging quite far behind 1.3.4 → 1.7.1)

I’d be grateful if you could rebuild and test this and confirm all is well here:

- git clone https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-locations -b beta

Before I merge it to the main branch.

If I don’t receive any feedback I will merge anyway in a week or two (so here’s your chance!)

(FYI on it’s own it does NOT explain the differences observed above)

@merefield

I’ve added a fix for User Card Directory compatibility to the beta branch

Wow, I’m impressed by how quick this fix may have been! I’ll test it out now—more about the User Card Directory than Leaflet, as I haven’t done too much with Locations yet—and let you know what I find.

Edit: just tested it and the user cards appear on the directory the locations plugin enabled, thank you!

Thanks for testing @jimkleiber! OK that’s good news. I’ll be merging that soon hopefully. For now you can stay on that branch. I’ll notify here when that PR is merged.

Is there a way to force the geolocation of the address entered?

Because even by choosing “required” for the “location geocoding” option, the user still seems to be able to enter non-geolocated addresses:

I can validate without geolocation:

But I notice that if I want to edit this non-geolocated location, I can no longer validate until I have chosen geocoordinates, as expected.

It’s strange behavior, isn’t it?

[kbsy]

Is it possible to set the coordinates by clicking on a map? That seems to me to be the “natural” way. After all, there are many places without an address. But I can’t find a setting for it.

[merefield (Robert)]

Great idea. PR welcome!

Hi @angus 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to set user location from location field in Wizards Plugin?
   I’ve tried with and without interpolation - it seems not working and it looks like it changes the original user location field instead of location field based on location plugin (with geolocation enabled)

2. When enabled it shows 2 user websites and location
   Both from location plugin and original.

Are these known issues?
If not, I will try to solve them and make PR.

[merefield (Robert)]

Sorry I’m not clear what is causing that. Locations plugin on its own will not corrupt the website link.

Are you saying when the Custom Wizard is also installed you get that duplication?

[4ong (Anatol Myshkin)]

Hmm, thanks. Don’t know why this is happening yet - will try to investigate tomorrow.
Here is what it shows right now with -

Andorra is the text from user profile location field when Location plugin is deactivated.
And the screen shows what happens when Location plugin is activated.

P.S. It’s can be my fault with some settings or plugins - do not waste too much time on this - I will investigate it step-by-step

[4ong (Anatol Myshkin)]

Are you saying when the Custom Wizard is also installed you get that duplication?
No - I’ve tried with and without Custom Wizard - duplicate stays.

The question about Custom Wizard is - how it’s possible to update user location in user profile from the Wizard?
I’ve tried location field there - but with no success.
Should I ask this in Custom Wizard topic?

Cheers,

[merefield (Robert)]

I cannot reproduce your issue so would appreciate if you can track down any clash. Locations is working fine with web page details for me.

[4ong (Anatol Myshkin)]

Sure, I will investigate tomorrow. Thanks!

My profile doesn’t appear on the users map: https://unicyclist.com/u/user-map?period=location (I should be in France)

I thought it was because my location in my profile wasn’t precise enough (just “France”), so I updated it using the autocompletion, but my icon still doesn’t appear on the map.

Canapin

Any idea why?
